Sunset Harbour, The History
Lucia is an island
of outstanding natural beauty and as you travel around
it becomes apparent why the British and French spent
over 150 years fighting over who should own it. The
island changed hands between Britain and France 14 times
until the British finally succeeded in winning it for
good in 1814. It did, however, take another 28 years
before English became the official language. You will
still hear a local patois called Kwewhol, spoken by
the locals which reflects their French and Carib Indian
origin. There are mineral sulphur springs on the island
used by Napoleon’s Officers, and Pigeon Island
still has the great presence and natural beauty it had
when 'Peg Leg' Le Clerc, the pirate, used it to launch
hijacks of passing ships of all nations. St. Lucia is
a fulfilment of the romantic dreams you imagined a tropical
paradise would be.
Buying an apartment
at Sunset Harbour is a tremendous opportunity to own
part of a fabulous Caribbean resort at the top of the
range. It’s freehold, not timeshare or leasehold,
which is rare for Caribbean waterfront property, and
it’s private, which is even more rare as almost
all beaches in the Caribbean are open to the public.
You can expect a substantial
return on your investment because when you are not in
residence, your apartment will become part of the luxury
accommodation in our rental pool on offer to our discerning
clients.
There is a growing demand for this type of luxury accommodation.
You can rent it as little or as much as you like, and
it will always be maintained to the highest standards
for your guests or yourself to enjoy whenever you want.
Or you can just let
it be yours 24/7, 52 weeks of the year, your choice
to maintain it yourself or have us look after it when
you are not in residence.
An additional benefit
to owning in Sunset Harbour is that the income generated
will not be subject to local taxation. The greatest
financial benefit of owning a home at Sunset Harbour
is the capital appreciation it will enjoy. This is especially
so for those who decide to buy early as returns of twenty
and thirty percent have been experienced on St. Lucia
in relatively short timescales over the last few years.
St. Lucia is experiencing the beginning of a significant
upward trend in property values.
