This land, just under half an acre, is located in Ocar, a sloping parcel of land that provides a wide open panoramic view across the stunning spectacle of Admiralty Bay.
There is a concrete road providing access to the plot and another unmade road leading to the north side of the plot.There are also electricity poles already in place at the plot.
The area is relatively undeveloped and a prime position for the construction of a residential or vacation rental property, particularly for visitors to Bequia who arrive by boat.
The potential for rental income is excellent as the location offers access to the bay and beaches, proximity to all the bars and restaurants and dive shops whilst also being private and elevated away from the main tourist area. Its elevated position encourages a steady flow of refreshing windward breezes and helps reduce the impact of mosquitos.
Coco's Place and L'Auberge des Grenadines, 2 established Bequia restaurants have recently relocated to the Ocar area. At the bottom of the hill there is a delicatessen and bakery, all within a 5 minute walk from the plot.A further 10 minute walk takes you into the main harbour town of Port Elizabeth which boasts a range of bars and restaurants to suit all tastes and pockets.Here you will also find the market selling fresh fruit and vegetables, various shops, two banks and the petro station.
On the North shore of admiralty Bay two local villages sit dreamily on the shore, here you can stroll in the road. On the south facing hillside there are uninterrupted commanding views of the whole bay all the way to West Cay. Down by the beach are the Model Boat Shops and Sail Makers lofts, some sandy bars with live music in the evenings and local rum shops. There is a wooden jetty & Tradewinds Marina with one of Bequia's great restaurants right by the water's edge.
