This is an incredibly rare opportunity to buy a magnificent family home, set in over 24,000 sq. ft. of garden (well over half-acre), situated in the most sought-after area of St. Lucia, in the heart of the peaceful idyll of Cap Estate, where property prices have consistently risen in recent years, and are forecast by investment gurus to continue to do so, thanks to St. Lucia’s sky-rocketing popularity in the burgeoning leisure industry.

The property nestles in a valley between the existing 18-hole championship St. Lucia Golf Course with its brand new Clubhouse, and the proposed 400 acre Jack Nicklaus Golf Course and Raffles Hotel.  This is indicative of the exclusivity of the Cap Estate area.

Currently undergoing entire refurbishment, which is nearing completion, the house has had extensive renovation works undertaken, designed by the renowned Architect, Wayne Brown.
 

THE FAMILY RESIDENCE

• The house is approached by its own driveway from a small road which leads to an exclusive cul-de-sac.  It is a 15 minute amble down to the beach from this road.
• The building, of nearly 3,900 sq. ft. in two floors, sits on a solid area of virtually flat land (which is very rare indeed in St. Lucia) of over 24,000 sq. ft. (mainly set to grass, but with some mature trees), and has no pillars or under-building void, as so many properties do here.
• The house itself is accessed via a private veranda to the north side, sweeping around to the west side of the property.   The accommodation comprises:

Front Door leading to
Open plan Living Room, Dining Room & Kitchen
with Double Doors onto the veranda

45’3” x 15’2” in total

The main house has had extensive reconstruction works.  The first floor has been completely remodelled and has a stunning light oak vaulted ceiling throughout.  The roof has been totally redesigned and reconstructed with a finish of Copper coloured U-panel galvanised metal sheets by the well-known Caribbean Metals.  All plumbing & electrical systems are new, network cable is incorporated throughout, and it is planned to add to the mains electricity a switchable dual solar and wind powered electricity supply, providing year-round free electricity.  Free hot water is provided by an 80 gallon vacuum tube solar system.

The typically Caribbean windows are light oak stained Jalousies, which compliment the beamed and vaulted ceilings, adding to the ambience of the house and keeping it cool at all times.  All floors have wonderful 18” Spanish Grespania Magma Ocro ceramic tiles, matched with Grespania Texas Blanco wall tiles in all four bathrooms, which pick up the same subtle tones.  The original integral garage has been transformed into a separate, spacious self-contained apartment, with the same high quality floors, wall tiles, and fittings.
 

SELF-CONTAINED APARTMENT

• The spaciously proportioned accommodation has private parking and opens onto a patio area, and comprises:

Open Plan Sitting Room
overlooking secluded patio and garden

17’3” x 14’2”

Open-plan Kitchen

useful Walk-in Closet

7’2” x 4’1”

en-suite Bathroom
with glass block shower

6’11” x 7’0”

The Apartment is very light and airy, and has been stylishly furnished with modern stainless steel fittings throughout to maintain the light, bright feel.  Floors are tiled with the same high quality Grespania ceramics, and the bathroom also has a wonderfully light glass blocked walk-in shower with glass door.  There are large side-sliding bronze aluminium glazed windows throughout.

The Apartment faces towards St. Lucia’s Atlantic coast, and so has a wonderfully cooling sea breeze.  There are several beaches within easy walking distance.

It is perfect for let, either on a long-term term assured lease at an approximate income of US$745 (c.£375) per calendar month, or alternatively, holiday let revenue of c.US$120-200 (£60-100) per night in low season, and about US$135-225 (£68-113) per night in high season (mid-December to mid-May) is easily achievable in this area. 

That’s an average potential income of US$889-1,484 (£445-742) per week as a holiday rental cottage.
