Beachfront for Sale in Seafront, Parottee, Saint Elizabeth, Jamaica

Half-Acre Oceanfront and a 190-Foot Wide Frontage

Asking Price: 70,000 - 75,000 USD
One-half acre clear titled and surveyed. Wide lot allows wonderful vistas and 190 ft property on ocean. Current price is for half acre. Selling due to age and health issues. House was developed by well-respected architect Ann Hodges, who designed and developed Golden Eye in Port Antonio and Strawberry Hill.

Located outside of Black River, this was ground zero when Melissa hit. The photos of damage can be frightening, but all does come back. This has survived three other hurricanes. The tropics do come back more quickly than stateside.

This is a good opportunity for those that can take on a worthwhile challenge. These smaller pockets of Jamaica are disappearing. I recall a place called Alligator Pond, now a local hangout for Kingstonians who want a weekend escape.

Guidance can be given regarding masons, carpenters, projected building costs, etc. It will need careful planning, but we did it 30 years ago and were among the first foreigners to settle. We also did the original house without electricity. The sky was black at night with the Milky Way spanning the heavens. The experience has been wonderful.

With the current costs of building in Jamaica, your house with property and rebuilding the garage and sea wall should run between $200,000 and $275,000. This would include land, house, garage, 190-foot sea wall, and fencing around the property. Solar power is recommended. The property comes wired for electric, both water delivery and water. Two septic systems are in place.

The photos of the home before Hurricane Melissa is to give you an idea as to what can be accomplished with time, sweat, work, and monies. The pictures which surprise or shock are those after Melissa kindly visited us and parked on our property. Are area was "ground zero". For those who have not lived through a hurricane, it is an experience you won't forget.

Again, when we arrived 35 years ago, there was nothing but bush, a small tree, and a property which harbored cows, pigs, and wild chickens. Now it has septic system (2), water, and electricity. It is up to you as to what you wish to do to it.

Thank you for looking. Valuation (taxes) are roughly $40,000 JA per year. Please realize, I will be down towards the end of March to meet the new owner, confer with an attorney (share expenses), fulfill new property survey (if needed) and proceed with the written agreement of purchase
