The lots make up Phase Two of the development which is located in an area commanding impressive 180 degree views of all the Grenadines isles, including nearby Mustique and distant Grenada. The 30-acre property is owned by Otmar Schaedle, a German expat who has been living on Bequia for the last 30 years. During that time, he has restored the heavy walls, the ancient cisterns and Sugar Mill – the only fully restored historic plantation in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
The 14 lots range in size from 1/2 acre to one acre and can be joined together or further subdivided. Lots are priced per square foot between GBP£7.5 (US$12) to GDP£14 (US$22), or about £150,000 for a 1/2 acre lot in addition to an estimated 15% in government fees. Phase One has already been sold and several lots from Phase Two have been purchased or marked ‘reserved’.
