It is ready to be assembled and is currently still in the 40' container in which it was shipped, securely stored not far from the land on which it should be built.

Why Invest In Carriacou Real Estate?

Anyone considering a 'Caribbean dream lifestyle' will realise that Carriacou is quite different from most other Caribbean islands. It is completely unspoiled with very little development. There are no major hotels, no fast food restaurants, and no hustle and bustle. Crime is very low and the islanders (known as Kayaks) are genuinely friendly and welcoming. They are very proud of their heritage and traditions and have resisted the changes which have ruined many other Caribbean islands. Very few tourists visit Carriacou, those that do appreciate the complete absence of commercialisation in any form.

There are many incredibly beautiful beaches, most of which are virtually deserted. The reefs surrounding the island are considered to be among the most beautiful in the world and offer spectacular diving or snorkelling experiences. Leatherback turtles come ashore here to lay their eggs and many local fishermen are happy to take you out in their boats for fishing or sightseeing opportunities. If the piece of real estate of you dreams must be located in the Caribbean then Carriacou should be given serious consideration.

Until quite recently most real estate on Carriacou was owned by many members of one family, inherited from generation to generation and divided according to the needs of individual family members. This situation made purchasing real estate difficult since very few potential sellers lacked absolute proof that they owned the land they wished to sell. Recent government legislation required landowners to draw up clearly defined boundaries of their estate and provide irrefutable proof of ownership. Once these conditions were met land registry deeds were issued by the government of Grenada, enabling landowners to sell their real estate free and clear.

Carriacou is a very small island which limits the opportunity to invest in real estate. There simply isn't that much of it! Land accessed by a well made road with drainage and a down-island view is rarely available.
