Description

Saint Lucia is world renowned for some of the finest scenery in the Caribbean, rich with tropical vegetation and magnificent mountains. Most spectacular are the adjacent estates, Grand Bois and Belle Etoile; 350 acres of combined prime fertile rain forest and agricultural land. Currently for sale, the estates have unlimited potential for development, including hotels, scientific and environmental research, tourism and agriculture. The land contains a few steep gradients and deep river valleys and canyons. Elevation ranges between 400 to 1200 feet above sea level. The estates are intersected by the Canaries River, Grand Bois to the north and Belle Etoile to the south. Along the river are natural pools including three of Saint Lucia’s best waterfalls where you can enjoy a cool refreshing swim. The estates are home to an abundant variety of plant life. The volcanic soil makes it especially productive for growing coffee and cocoa. Many traditional topical fruits and vegetables grow naturally including Coconuts (Copra), Bananas and Mangos. The estates are of particular appeal to bird watchers, hikers and nature lovers. Among the rare and beautiful birds adding color to the scene are the White Breasted Thrasher, the St. Lucia Peewee, and the St. Lucia Oriole.
