Lower Bay Hillside Land – 0.37 Acres / 16,624 Sq Ft

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a beautifully positioned building plot in one of Bequia's most sought-after locations. Set on the hillside above the beautiful sands of Lower Bay, this 0.37 acre parcel enjoys a peaceful and private setting, with wonderful views across the bay and towards Admiralty Bay and the Caribbean Sea beyond.

With its combination of privacy, accessibility and close proximity to the beach, this is an attractive site for creating a private Caribbean home or holiday villa.

Just a Short Stroll from Lower Bay Beach

The property is wonderfully close to Lower Bay Beach, one of Bequia's most popular and picturesque beaches, known for its soft sands, clear waters and relaxed atmosphere.

From the plot, it is only a short walk down to the beach, where there are waterfront bars and restaurants, while the harbour town of Port Elizabeth is easily reached by road or water taxi.

Peaceful and Private Setting

Despite its convenient location close to the beach and local amenities, the plot enjoys a quiet and sheltered position away from the busier areas of Lower Bay.

Accessed via a private road, the land offers a lovely sense of seclusion and would be ideal for those looking to create a private home surrounded by tropical greenery.

Excellent Topography and Access

The land benefits from gently sloping topography, making it an attractive and practical site for development. The access road to the plot is also relatively gentle, allowing for straightforward access.

At approximately 63.4 metres above sea level, the elevated position helps capture the beautiful views across Lower Bay and the surrounding coastline.

Natural Woodland and Tropical Surroundings

The plot is currently covered in natural woodland and mature tropical vegetation, providing privacy, shade and a wonderful natural setting.

The gentle rise of the land creates the opportunity to position a home to take advantage of the views while retaining generous garden areas and a sense of space.

Excellent Scope for a Private Home or Villa Rental

Lower Bay has become one of Bequia's most desirable areas for private homes and holiday villas, thanks to its beautiful beach, relaxed atmosphere and convenient location close to Port Elizabeth.

The plot offers exciting potential for the creation of a substantial tropical residence, with the possibility of designing a 4 or 5 bedroom home, private swimming pool, generous outdoor living areas and landscaped gardens. Plans have already been approved and are available on request

The favourable topography provides flexibility for the design and layout of the property, with ample scope for parking, turning space, gardens and a swimming pool.

The combination of privacy, proximity to the beach and attractive views gives this property excellent potential for a high-quality holiday home or rental villa.

Buyer's Guide

Purchase procedure:

1. Make your offer for your chosen property through us. We present your offer, and work to bring the sale to an agreement with the owner.

The entire process can be handled remotely - ie while you are in the UK/ US / Europe etc.

2. Appoint a local Lawyer to handle your purchase (list of recommended lawyers can be provided upon request) exchange contact details and discuss the purchase arrangements, as you wish.

3. Sign Agreement of Sale & deposit 10% of purchase price in ESCROW account with the lawyer.

The Agreement of Sale Contract is prepared by the lawyer for approval by both parties, before being finalised and signed by both parties. This is a binding agreement, the only circumstances where you would retrieve the deposit would be if:
- the seller fails to perform (for example if there was not clear title)
- or if your ALHL is not issued (this is extremely rare).

4. Alien Land Holders Licence (ALHL) Application (specific to the property & applied for at the time of agreement of purchase ).

Provide the following details to your local lawyer :
- Date and place of birth
- Copy of passport
- Nationality
- Bank reference (not finances just a letter of reliability)
- Police certificate of clear record (applied for from your local police station or online, in your home country

UK: http://www.acro.police.uk/police_certificates.aspx

The police certificate is usually fairly swift and at least straightforward

The lawyer makes the ALHL application and searches to check clear title on the property

5. ALHL is issued (this usually takes 2 to 3 months).

6. Complete the purchase (you deposit the balance of purchase price and the signed deeds of conveyance are released). At this point the property is yours.

Purchase Costs

Purchase costs are straightforward;
- 5% Stamp Duty
- approximately 6% ALHL
- legal fees
Legal fees are standard and the lawyer you instruct can provide a detailed breakdown of the costs.
We advise allowing 13% to cover the costs.

Ownership

The lawyer can advise on personal or company ownership;
Company ownership provides automatic exemption from work permit. Residency is a simple formality with property ownership.

Many buyers choose to own their property through a company which can be set up easily, the lawyer can advise on the costs and fees for this.

There is no capital gains tax, no inheritance tax and annual property taxes are negligible. Funds can be repatriated freely.

We are here from start to finish of the process, and pride ourselves with a strong relationship with previous buyers, assisting in settling new owners into the island and their property. We are happy to assist with any part, from the handover, relocating, shipping, staffing, and continuing through our rental program.

We extend our full concierge services, and regularly handle all arrangements for potential purchasers visiting the islands for viewings - private or scheduled flights, transfers, accommodation, island briefings, tours and property viewings.

We arrange and lead viewings ensuring they are comfortable, relaxed and well timed. We provided detailed printed material and can photograph aspects of the property which are of particular interest to you, ensuring that all follow up material is focused for you.

From helping you find the right property, assisting in assessment & evaluation, advice on legal processes to various areas surrounding architecture, design, project management, property maintenance, management, and rental.

I would like to receive marketing emails in the future from the Grenadines Collection
