Cabin/Cottage for Sale in 1151 Southside Rd East, Cayman Brac, Cayman Islands

Charming Cayman Brac Cottage at the Foot of the Bluff

This charming and affordable cottage is nestled at the foot of Cayman Brac's sweeping bluff and only 300 feet from the blue waters of the Caribbean Sea.

The one-bedroom home is set in the middle of a large half-acre lot on the Brac's quiet southeast side. The property has been carefully landscaped to leave a canopy of large native trees - mahogany, birch, strawberry and Spanish elm - that not only contribute to its charm, but provide cooling shade and protection from salt air. Mature fruit trees - papaya, cherry, key lime, coconut and apple banana - are watered from one of the natural wells located on the property. Hibiscus, bougainvillea, Mexican petunias and periwinkles add splashes of color to the terrain.

The home is located at the base of the bluff, the island's dominating feature that begins at sea level on the west side and rises like a wedge to 140 feet at the island's east side before falling into the sea near the lighthouse. Behind the cottage, you can walk beneath the ancient undercut created by waves millions of years ago.

The island is pockmarked with caves and this property has several on it. At ground level near the cottage one cave features stalactites and stalagmites, while another accessible up the bluff opens out onto a view of the waves breaking over the shore.

The cottage, built in 1995, is stick-built on a concrete slab with a wraparound screened porch and attached carport. There is a full bathroom inside and also an outdoor shower. The home comes fully equipped with a new stove and refrigerator, a washing machine and hot water heater. Its furnishings include a recliner, love seat, rattan rocker, glider, kitchen table and chairs and a mahogany table and chairs on the porch. Linens are included for both the full-sized bed and queen-sized fold-out couch in the living roon. The cabinets are spacious, numerous and are stocked with pots, pans, dishes, glasses, silverware and other kitchen needs. Lawn furniture for the shaded patio is included.

The house is easy to maintain. Its location away from the seashore and corrosive salt air and its protective landscaping mean you won't be spending your time with maintenance projects.

The sea is near enough to lull you to sleep -- the waves breaking over the shore are a constant rhythm.

The outdoor storage shed contains everything necessary for running the cottage. It's furnished with a variety of ladders, electric and hand tools, a weedeater, pumps and equipment for whatever project you might have in mind.

This home has been well-maintained by its present owners for the past thirteen years. It is ready for you to move into and enjoy.
