Stunning Ocean Views from Vast Verandahs

From its vast main deck you can see the sun set over the West Cays, look down into the original Moonhole house and the turquoise reefs in the Bight, and gaze at the verdant mountains of St. Vincent in the distance. Ship's Stern, where cannons once guarded Bequia's harbour, stands tall across the Bight, a craggy sentinel that dwarfs passing yachts.From far below the sound of the surf crashing on the rocks resounds like distant cannons.

A Solar Powered Eco Villa

Khow-Ga-Peh is powered by solar panels, capable of powering lights, recharging phones, computers, batteries etc. However they cannot handle high-wattage appliances such as hair dryers - which can only be used at the Moonhole Office.

Breathtaking Ocean Views

Lounges & Bar Area

There are 2 lounge areas and a bar with wooden topped tables and curved arched windows and seating areas.

Natural Unforgettable Environment

The Moonhole community, created in the 60's by a group of friends who enjoyed sailing around Bequia and the Caribbean, was built using local materials sympathetically echoing the landscapes curves. The large arched windows have no glass, are open to the hummingbirds and cooling windward breezes. The properties, though all different, share open stone, un-fussed, interiors with little to distract the guests away from the climate or the views.

Location

Villa Location

Moonhole

Located on the south shore of the Moonhole peninsula at the western end of Bequia. Here one sees and hears the sound of the warm Caribbean kissing the shoreline and the bird song of Bequia Sweet Sweet Sweet. Bird life is prolific with more than twenty seven different species spotted at Moonhole. The Villas are surrounded by natural beauty including Frangipani, Cedar, Bequia Plum, Papaya and many more. Sitting here you will see Frigate Bird soaring high and graceful Tropic birds , pelicans passing low to find the school of fries off the beach below for breakfast, iguanas basking in the early morning light and humming birds at play and drinking the nectar of life. A tranquil setting in a rich tropical nature reserve. Splendid isolation, escape to Moonhole and try off the grid Eco living in one of these intriguing houses... ...enjoy spacious relaxed privacy in genuine harmony with the surrounding woods and headlands. Settled in the landscape of Bequia's western peninsula, woods and the ocean all around, these properties are open to the breezes of the trade winds. A stroll down along the woodland path brings you to one of Bequia's quietest beaches facing south across the sheltered Caribbean waters of Bequia's southern coast. There is an abundance of wildlife here: Land and Sea Birds, Hawksbill and Green Turtles, Fruit Bats, Iguanas, Lizards, Manicou (a nocturnal marsupial),Tree Frogs ("Peepers"), Mollusks, Crustaceans, and a vast array of Insects. Do not disturb bird nests of any kind; they are often encountered "inside" the houses...they live here! We often see Antillean Crested Hummingbirds, Bananaquit, Egret, Blue Heron, Ground Dove, Brown Booby, the Magnificent Frigate Bird, and many others including the ubiquitous Laughing Gull and Tropic Bird.

Buyer's Guide

Buyer's Guide

Purchasing land in a foreign country can seem like a daunting task. 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.

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

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.

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.
