While the definition of ‘home’ can be somewhat hazy, most can agree that it is a place to which you return again and again – and where you feel at ease with yourself and the world. Whether the hills or the sea speak to you, we have properties for sale that cover all definitions of home.
Starting with a stylish coastal condo, a two-bedroom option at Nelson Spring could also be a valuable investment opportunity in your absence; recently remodelled, this is a high end condo with a low price tag of just US$320,000. For that, you get to be right on the beach. You’ll have balconies that look directly to the beach and sea with all the traditional Caribbean wooden trimmings – plus you’re facing the right direction to look out for green flash sunsets every evening. This bright and airy condo is spread over two levels, with a large open plan modern kitchen, dining and living area on the first level two ensuite bedrooms on the second floor. The apartment complex comes with laundry facilities, private parking, a pool, the security of a gated community and direct access to a spa. This is an easy lock-up-and-leave situation, or a perfect permanent home for those looking to throw themselves directly into island life.
Or perhaps your perfect property comes with a dose of privacy? We have many of those, too, with one such house being Wildwood set in nearly 2.5 acres of grounds. This pink villa looks out to the wild Atlantic and is set against a backdrop of vibrant green: palm trees and flamboyants, bananas and mango trees cover this huge double lot. An unusual pod design means the three bedrooms are all completely separated, with the central pod housing a cheerful blue kitchen and a huge living area under vaulted ceilings. There’s a pool and wide verandas and, if that wasn’t enough, a self-contained guest apartment downstairs that has direct access to a private terrace. All of this is available for just US$850,000: that’s a lot of home, and a lot of potential for development, too.
It’s often hard to single out a particular area, even on an island as small as Nevis, and buyers often ask us directly for advice as to where they should buy. If you are looking for an up-and-coming area that has little development, you may do well to consider the north-eastern slopes of Mount Nevis. Farniente is a beautifully crafted home with three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a swimming pool, simply stunning views – that will reach the edges of both the sunrise and the sunset – and half an acre of gorgeous gardens packed with fruit trees, and all for just US$585,000. At present, it’s one of the greatest opportunities on the island. It is ridiculously pretty, bursting with traditional Caribbean charm, and even has views from the kitchen sink: you’ll be fighting to do the washing up.
Whatever your definition of home – be that a house or a condo or a quirky, one-off property – we’re confident we can find something to suit your lifestyle and your dreams.
