Sustainable Living with an Income for Sale in Riviere La Croix, Dominica
Stunning Eco Tourism Property with Organic Greenhouse
The estate at River La Croix has been an attraction to international eco tourists, honeymoon couples, and families for decades with its serene atmosphere, cool breezy evenings, proximity to hiking trail heads, and immersion into a diverse bird habitat. The Middleham Falls and Waitukubuli National Trail are both within walking distance of the cabins. Crescent Moon has been operational since 2000 with many repeat and referred clients, positive traveler reviews, guide book listings, and has been featured in such publications as National Geographic Traveler and Shape Magazine and listed in the top 100 Green Destinations.
The owner's home and surrounding grounds are composed with artisan masonry and locally hand harvested timber. The view from the lofted bedroom and open air dining area looks beyond the guest cabins and to the passing boats at sea while sitting naturally a midst flower beds, scented vines, and citrus trees. The retreat space shares the same views as the stone house from extra long windows. The open floor plan and continual cross breezes are an inspiration for studio work or healthy living retreat groups. There are three additional guest cabin foundations and flat, landscaped garden areas with similar sea views that have the potential for further expansion of the business. The whole operation can be taken off the grid using the river flow if one was inclined.
Crescent Moon is currently a licensed and certified accommodation with the local tourism authority and is a successful reflection of the current marketing campaign to develop sustainable tourism for the Nature Island of Dominica. It is possible to take over next season's reservations in a smooth turn key transition and begin generating revenue as soon as you settle in.
Other features of the property include a plunge pool, hot tub, high speed internet, library, and dining room. All contents, including locally made furniture, extensive kitchen appliances, and the owner's vehicle are included in the sale price. The total developed portion of land is within the permitted three acre amount for non national purchase. There is an additional six acres of forested boundary land available as a supplemental, give away purchase.
This property has been a peaceful home and an income for two environmentally minded families for over thirteen years. We practice sustainable living. We grow what we eat and what we prepare for our guests. Our water comes from a mountain spring and our goats and chickens fertilize our gardens. We attract clients with similar appreciations and lifestyles and connect them with Dominicans who also believe in healthy living.
