The brief

The reason to consider it.

This substantial 5-bedroom fixer-upper is in need of some TLC but offers huge potential for a new buyer to transform it into their own custom island sanctuary.

Set on an impressive 14,919 square feet of fully enclosed grounds, the property spans 3,608 square feet of interior space thoughtfully divided between a main residence and a separate cottage. The main home features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, while the independent 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom cottage provides excellent flexibility for guest accommodation or rental income generation. The main residence opens directly onto a covered patio, creating an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining while maintaining protection from the tropical elements. Just steps from the main house, a swimming pool anchors the outdoor living experience, perfectly positioned within the expansive private grounds.

Silver Sands Beach is situated within easy walking distance, offering access to one of Barbados’ most popular coastal destinations. This fixer-upper represents an exceptional opportunity for a buyer willing to invest time and creativity in modernizing and refreshing the existing structure.

What people say about Barbados

Sources agree that Barbados is an expensive place to live by Caribbean standards, with the west coast (Platinum Coast, Holetown, St James) described as the priciest area and the east and inland parishes as cheaper.

  • Mixed Barbados is expensive overall; the west coast (Platinum Coast, Holetown) is the priciest area, east and inland cheaper
  • Mixed Foreigners can buy freely but should use a local attorney; Central Bank / exchange control approval and registering foreign funds are part of the process
  • Mixed Property transaction taxes: sources disagree on who pays and the rate (2.5% seller-paid transfer tax plus 1% stamp duty vs a 10% non-resident figure)
  • Concern Repatriating sale proceeds is restricted under exchange control; many non-residents use offshore holding companies
