Reasons Why You Should Invest in Nevis Real Estate

WHY INVEST IN NEVIS

Nevis is one of the few remaining places in the world that truly represents such over-used cliches as 'timeless charm' or 'perfect hideaway'. While ticking all the boxes of quintessential Caribbean offerings – we have the white sands and palm trees, and the days that are designed for sun lazing and nights for star gazing – our particular geographical location sets us apart.

It isn't difficult to get to Nevis, but it isn't overly easy either. Visitors to the island are largely reliant on the major airlines serving St Kitts' Basseterre airport, and with shallow waters surrounding the island the large cruise liners must also dock at St Kitts and passengers make their way across to Nevis. For anyone returning to Nevis there is the overwhelming sense of coming home as the water taxi whips across The Narrows, and for first-time visitors heading towards the island there is an overriding feeling of magic and adventure. The chaos of modern life is left behind, and there is a shared notion of being in on a great secret. 

And they would be right. Nevis is remote yet accessible, bustling with old world charm yet with easy access to modern amenities. It is a safe, comforting space, dotted with glorious cottages, architecturally stunning houses and chic seafront apartments. Those who fly into Nevis itself will see views of the jungle-clad dense green slopes of Nevis Peak dotted with turquoise splashes of swimming pools, and slow lines of donkeys pacing along dusty roads. Beautiful homes with gingerbread-style verandahs painted in bright Caribbean colours are as suited to the island as the dramatic, vaulted villas with their infinity pools and folded layers of terraces and landscaped gardens.

 

Citizenship by Investment

A number of homes for sale with Nevis Style Realty are approved for the Citizenship By Investment programme, where for a purchase price of US$200,000 for share ownership and US$400,000 for whole ownership plus registration and fee expenses applicants will be granted citizenship. There are no rules about dual citizenship, and anyone who receives citizenship does so for life – and it can be passed on to future generations by descent. Citizens of St Kitts and Nevis are granted visa-free or visa-on-arrival travel to 156 countries, including all EU member states: the purchase of a property here not only ensures you have your own safe haven when an escape from modern life is needed, but gives valuable rights and freedoms to the next generations of your family.

St. Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment Program 

Many people who purchase property through the CBI scheme are looking for a holiday home, a place they can return to time and again with family and friends. There are those who seek the ease and simplicity of a Four Seasons property with direct access to the resort's fabulous 18 hole golf course, tennis courts, and attentive maintenance team – and there are others who hide in the hills in one of only a handful of converted sugar mills left in the world, enchanting homes with extraordinary possibilities.

 

Concession on material for building or remodeling your home

The team at Nevis Style Realty can stay with you after your purchase, offering maintenance, gardening, house cleaning and hurricane preparations as required; we also manage building projects and have interior design expertise. 

Mark Brantley, Premier of Nevis, has announced an exceptional package of concessions for those looking to start construction projects by the end of 2020, with first-time homeowners able to receive their building materials free of Customs Duty and Service Charge and those renovating existing homes able to enjoy the same benefits on materials over $30,000. The only qualifying rule? That 80% of workers employed must be citizens of St Kitts and Nevis. Since there is no need for those applying for Citizenship by Investment to be on-island, it is more than feasible to purchase property or land through NSR and hand us the reins to start your renovation or build by the end of the year in order to qualify for these construction project discounts.

Four Seasons Resort Nevis 

Nevis has enticed visitors for centuries, and in fact was the island with the first hotel in the Caribbean back in 1778. The same draw remains today, with Nevis happy to embrace those classic cliches: it really is a perfect hideaway that eases through the days with timeless charm.
