The brief

The reason to consider it.

This huge vacant lot measures 16,780 m2 or 4.2 acres. The property offers views of the Caribbean Sea, Mount Scenery and beautiful sunrises. It’s located in a peaceful area known as Behind the Ridge, just off the road leading to the Sulfur Mine. The land can be accessed via two roads, one near the top and the other near the bottom; a development opportunity - a slice of paradise.

The tranquil setting of the property is especially private yet just minutes away from Windwardside stores, the famous runway and Cove Bay. The magnificent 180-degree views include islands such as St Maarten, St Barts, St Eustatius and St Kitts. It’s also possible to purchase a smaller portion of the property measuring 2002 m2 for $155,000.
