Lot/Land for Sale and Rent in Carriacou, Carriacou Island, Grenada
The Best Spot on the Island - Prime Waterfront Secluded Cove
Reservation Fee USD $5,000 (deductible from purchase price, on Completion).
One of only two waterfront lots: the southern waterfront having recently been SOLD.
PERFECTLY PLACED (facing west on a breezy leeward shore) THE LOT is ideally suited for one superior residence. Safe anchorage in Sparrow Bay for most of the year. Nestled below a wooded hillside of unspoilt land, the area is surrounded by the owners' wooded nature preserve of five-Acres: from the Sea to the public road. It is not overlooked and enjoys spectacular, uninterrupted views across the sparkling Caribbean, encompassing uninhabited islands and magical sunsets: unforgettable vistas across Sandy Island to Cistern Point. A rare and intriguing little paradise.
A private 14 foot unpaved lane (belonging to the estate), slopes gently upwards (around 600 feet) to join the secondary public road at the top of the estate. Thereon into the village (half-a-mile), and a two-mile drive on a paved road into the main town of Hillsborough: which has all the usual amenities.
PURCHASER: the owners' Gate Cottage can be made available throughout the construction phase, as a rental: any weeks spent 'on-island' will accumulate and qualify at an affordable monthly rate.
CARRIACOU is still very much the undiscovered Caribbean, where time is kept by the passing sun. The Prospect nature preserve, with its macaws, is situated at the north-western corner of Carriacou immediately below High North nature park (1,000 acres): undoubtedly the most green and undeveloped part of the island. In 1784 the Prospect Plantation amounted to 131 acres.
"We fell in love with the island of Carriacou and the Caribbee Inn,
small, simple and stylish, one of the world's great hideaways."
-Mark Ottaway & David Wickers THE SUNDAY TIMES
"The most beautiful and romantic spot on the island. You will discover an enticing little oasis: with sea and sunset views, chances are you won't want to wander."
-Barbara Lazear Ascher THE NEW YORK TIMES
"The sweep of Hillsborough Bay, the tiny islands, trailing towards the rolling sun, was every image you could wish to see of the Caribbean. Then came one you couldn't. Two Amazonian macaws swooped by, their tail feathers rippling in the glow, their opinions ricocheting around the hillside. I dropped my bags with a contented sigh."
-Mark Ottoway THE SUNDAY TIMES 1995.
An unrivalled opportunity for discerning individuals wishing to discover the perfect hideaway in an idyllic setting. Blue skies, white beaches, turquoise waters, lush green hillsides, and a year round average temperature of 23c. Well away from the rigours of the modern world, Prospect is sure to soothe the most frazzled of souls.
