Englishman's Bay RS323 TT$2,978,400

One of Tobago’s favourite stretches of coastline, between the fishing villages of Castara and Parlatuvier, is at Englishman’s Bay, undeveloped yet for either residential or tourism purposes, with just a scattering of houses on an eco-sensitive development, and offering a quiet, safe beach for swimming or snorkelling.  Sunset Valley is located on two acres on the western hillside overlooking the bay and its elevated position gives it a magnificent view of the Caribbean coast, the bay and the lush greens of the rain forest to the south. The area is wonderful for hiking and bird watching also.   Accommodation (2,100 s.f. covered space) includes 2 bedrooms with ensuite bathroom, and a further 2 bedrooms sharing a third bathroom.  All bedrooms have ceiling fans and open onto the four-sided wrap-around verandah.  The main room of the villa, providing living and dining space, has a dramatic vaulted ceiling and opens on two sides to the verandah and views beyond.  The kitchen is fully fitted and equipped and has a separate laundry area.  Off the verandah on the southern side of the house is a large 15 x 36 ft pool with paved sun deck.  The grounds comprise three acres of which one can be sold separately or with the other two on which the house is located.  The land is tended and well planted with fruit trees, flowering trees and shrubs.  At the gated entrance to the property is a separate gatehouse of 650 s.f. offering an air-conditioned self-contained one bed apartment with office space and lots of storage.  Under the main house there are also staff quarters of 400 s.f.   Due to its no longer being lived in, the property has deteriorated over the past few years and a new owner will have to deal with re-roofing the entire villa, repairing the pool which has been emptied, and giving both the villa and the gatehouse a complete redecoration and inspection of electrical and plumbing systems.  The price has been reduced in light of these additional costs to the buyer.  An additional adjoining acre can be purchased with this property or separately at US$130,000. Payment must be made in US DOLLARS.
