Small Estate for Sale in Carriacou, Carriacou Island, Grenada
Enticing Little Oasis – Island Hideaway
A SMALL ESTATE EMBRACING FOUR DETACHED PROPERTIES: three double-gated entrances off the public roadway, with mature grounds sloping down to the secluded Cove. Measurement 2.41 acres with an attractive sea-frontage: facing west. Also included in the sale and bordering the property is a further 1.33 Acres of unspoilt land which the owners have left as a ‘green area’ and nature preserve. Prospect estate comprises:
FOUR UNUSUAL BUILDINGS CREATING THE PERFECT LITTLE ENCLAVE at the top of a wooded hillside, including a useful coral stone boathouse. A superb perspective to the horizon facing west on the leeward shore.
1.) THE OWNERS’ HOUSE WITH PATIO / EXCERCISE POOL: Remodelled 1995 fifty-foot wide open frontage with 270 degree views of the blue Caribbean and its uninhabited islands promising magical sunsets. A spacious, open-plan residence with open-plan living / dining area, four poster bedroom and two bathrooms: one with Jacuzzi. Below at ground level, an en-suite Studio. Separate Utility Room. The ultimate island dream home. Floor Space: 3,938 Square Feet.
2.) SPARROW HAWK (1996): Three-roomed designer Villa facing southwest. Tower Master-Suite used as Living Area with open plan kitchen, and designer bathroom at the rear. En-suite Master Bedroom. A third en-suite Bedroom. All facing the sea. The front elevation, with its large louvered windows, looks out across spectacular, uninterrupted views across the Bay. Excellent order throughout, with mature coconut trees providing excellent shade. The property has its own forty-thousand gallon Cistern.
Floor Space: 2,160 Square Feet.
An extension concept and plan to construct a spacious LIVING AREA, utility, and INFINITY POOL on a split-level, making Sparrow Hawk a prestigious three-bedroom Villa home, is available to the new purchaser: if required.
3.) GATEWAY COTTAGE / STUDIO: two rooms both with shower and toilet. A greenheart deck overlooking the Sea, with uninhabited High North rising majestically behind. Situated just inside the main entrance, and suited for one or two persons, ‘live-in’ staff / Rental potential.
4.) FORMER COUNTY HOUSE HOTEL & RESTAURANT: extensive roof and window damage sustained as a result of hurricane Emily (July 2005). The substantial structure facing southwest remains: solidly constructed in the mid-sixties as an island retreat for followers of the Gurdjieff cult; and thereby leaving its legacy of a very happy and peaceful place.
Remodeled and refurbished by the Coopers in 1989 into a small country house hotel, it has been widely written about by journalists, worldwide.
The all-round structure is very sound. A new roof over the main section would provide an exciting opportunity for a new design concept: depending on its use. The generous window openings have panoramic views across the Bay. Full renovation will be necessary to the interior.
The exceptionally sound and spacious split-level building has enormous leisure potential. It could also be remodeled to create two luxury Apartments, and a wide breezeway at the centre conveniently divides the building. A more than adequate Catchment provides an ample supply of fresh water. Each building has its own separate cistern. Floor Space: 4,074 square feet.
NOTE: the owners would consider dividing the estate to suit the individual.
The enviable LOCATION nestled on the perfect spot has been portrayed by The New York Times as “the most beautiful and romantic spot on the island. You will discover an enticing little oasis…”
At PROSPECT, the individual buildings are nestled between undulating lawns. A variety of fruit trees, almond, plentiful palms, and mature coconuts, abound. You have discovered a gem in the Grenadines that can only be described as the ultimate island paradise.
TUCKED AWAY BELOW A NATURE PARK (1,000 Acres) that abounds with wildlife, it is also a sanctuary for ten, rehabilitated blue and yellow macaws (Ara ararauna); and over the years a few have been ‘gently’ released onto High North.
IDEAS for the PROPERTY – an exclusive spa resort; private health club; a stylish restaurant & bar; university OR company retreat; a celebrity hideaway; or simply four superior homes and a Gate Cottage.
ALTERNATIVELY, for a shrewd Investor – designer conversion of the existing hotel buildings and owner’s spacious house into several luxury Apartments: designed primarily as ‘second’ homes.
A further opportunity exists to enlarge this concept by utilizing a scattering of superb spots on the hillside sloping down towards the Sea.
