This isolated destination is connected to the rest of the world by a 10-minute boat ride to nearby Ragged Island, where a private airstrip awaits. But if you prefer to arrive by superyacht, there’s also deep water access for large ships.
There are freshwater ponds, snorkeling and sailing opportunities, excellent flats for fishing, and you can also chill on the beach and watch flamingos. The woods are rich in lignum vitae trees, known for their medicinal properties.
If you prefer to climb a hill and survey the full richness of your land, the elevation rises from sea level to 40 feet (just over 12 meters). As for development opportunities, there’s enough space to build a boutique resort with 18-hole golf course.
