For the price of a fancy New York City townhouse, this entire tropical paradise can be yours.
A “prime” 352-acre island in the Caribbean Sea has hit the market, and it offers a nature-filled vacation, or a serious development opportunity, with $30 million to spare.
Named Baliseaux (“baubles” or “trinkets” in French), the lush oasis lies between the larger islands of St. Vincent and Grenada, in the chain of southern Caribbean islands known as the Grenadines. “There are no houses, no airport, no restaurants, no cars – and no people,” says press material for Bitty Islet, which is listed with Wealth Group – a team founded by Fortune Christie’s International Real. Done by Patrick Cohen and Victoria Fisher of the estate. .
Although there is no infrastructure to speak of, the island’s “facilities” include white-powder beaches, tropical forests, cliffs, plains, rolling mountain peaks, cacti and palm trees – and both rocky and sandy beaches. There are also coral reefs, hiking trails and plenty of water for pleasure cruising.
The wild flora and fauna make this island a great opportunity for anyone dreaming of building a custom vacation home or commercial-scale resort. list Adds
“This is a unique opportunity for someone seeking private island luxury for a family compound or for a developer looking to build a boutique hotel,” said Fisher. “The views are stunning, the landscape is a literal tropical paradise. It is charming with its beauty and privacy. “
The recorded history of the mile-and-a-half-long island begins in the 15th century, when Spanish conquistadors arrived. Later, the 3,901-foot Gun Hill, its highest peak, became a lookout for British soldiers during the Carib Wars of the 1700s.
Gun Hill remains to this day, and is still an ideal place to “experience panoramic Caribbean sunsets”.
