LOCATION: Treasure Beach (Ft Charles)
St Elizabeth, Jamaica, W.I.
LOT SIZE: 8 1/2 Acres (34,854 Square Meters)


Treasure Beach is located on the South Coast of Jamaica in a parish of Jamaica noted for its friendly, industrious farmers and seafaring fishermen, all of whose products and services are readily available to the local residents. It is an area of Jamaica that has taken a serious role as stewards of ecological and sustainable community development into its tourist image. Entrance signs to the community alert visitors that the locals are intent on protecting the many marine turtle nesting beach sites. Dolphins cavort daily offshore to everyone's delight. The blazing, radiant colors of the sunrise and sunsets are a vision to behold.

The property is within five minutes of one of the longest undeveloped beaches in all of Jamaica accessed from the calm waters of Starve Gut Bay. This Ft Charles beach is public, but you will have it mostly to yourself except, by chance, some fishermen are pulling in their skein nets with jumping fish.

Traditionally, the Santa Cruz Mountains, forming a barrier to the north, have dissipated some of the severest tropical storms coming from that direction.

The property is generally divided into two parts. The view of the sea and the coastline as you rise from the road level to 250 feet above sea level are truly spectacular. The lot is about 300 feet wide, and after a relatively flat plateau continues to a distance of approximately 1200 feet at the very top of the hill.

The lower half is adjacent to the road and services, and has a direct view of the sea. This portion of the land is approximately four acres and would be the most appropriate building site for a number of primary residences.

The upper part rises gently through a treed and vegetated landscape of multi-colored, pocketed, limestone rock formations within a primary growth tropical dry forest. The land includes a wide variety of huge cacti, wild orchids, frangipani, wild heather and other splendid exotic species.

Similar nearby properties have been subdivided, creating the ability to build multiple villas and hillside homes. There is no legislated zoning ordinance for the area, therefore, the buyer has many options for building residences on the property. Electric utilities are available from the road.

The Title to the property is free and clear.

The closest major airport is in Montego Bay, approximately 2.5 hours through beautiful hilly countryside and shimmering coastal sights. A small aerodrome has recently been completed, within a distance of less than a half hour from the property.

There is a growing, genteel tourist business along the many secluded bays of Treasure Beach, anchored by the world-renowned boutique hotel and spa called JAKES designed and built by the wife of the celebrated author and filmmaker Perry Henzell, whose movie "The Harder They Come" set the standard for the reggae musical drama. Other cultural events, such as the International Calabash Literary Festival, which has drawn celebrated poets and authors (including two Nobel Prize winners in literature) to the Treasure Beach stage, marking the area as a magnet for cultural icons, as well as for relaxation and solitude.

With typically large lots in the Ft Charles subdivision and dim road lights, the night sky is a stargazers wonderland as the constellations read brightly overhead. You will soon want to build a moon pavilion to take every advantage of your vantage point on the universe.

Opportunities to share an ocean-view property with family and friends and turning it over to a Rental Agent for income production should entice the right buyer.

The website for Treasure Beach touts the community as “a string of sleepy fishing villages located off the beaten track on Jamaica's desert south coast; a community-based tourism destination involved and active in sustainable local development; laid back, friendly, and proud to be Jamaican.”
The citizenry of this coastal region are generally proud, independent, hospitable and charmingly wish to share the calm and the unspoiled natural beauty of of its varied landscape with visitors.
