This one-bedroom cottage sits on almost half an acre of landscaped hillside with expansive seaviews over the reef-protected Atlantic Ocean and Maria Islands. The sea and beach are less than half a mile away (or five minutes’ walk), and the wind- and kite surfing bay of Anse de Sable Beach a mere 10 minutes’ walk, or two minutes’ by car. The international airport is also close by.

The Cottage was built in 2005 and much thought was paid to design, lay-out, authenticity and workmanship. The house is being sold fully-furnished and ready to move in to or to use as a holiday let, while at the same time offering plenty of scope for expansion and addition.

Given its location, the property could be extended and turned into a successful Bed & Breakfast or could serve as the guest cottage accompanying a luxurious villa in the ample grounds above it. Architectural and/or conceptual drawings for extensions, a pool and a villa are included in the price. The existing one-bedroom cottage comprises a bathroom (shower, w.c and hand-basin), an open-plan kitchen/dining and living area, as well as a comfortable shaded balcony on the seaside, with a smaller, sunny balcony on the side of the garden. There is a queen-sized bed in the master bedroom and a double convertible sofa-bed in the open plan living area.

The 19,689 sq ft lot is fully fenced and the entire garden boasts sea views and benefits from the cooling trade winds. There is a built-in barbecue in the garden and several mature trees (including West Indian cherries, gooseberries, noni, bananas and calabash) provide welcome shade. The cottage is set in a quiet residential area, not far from two family-run hotels and one large resort. All infrastructure is in place (mains water, electricity, telephone, cable TV and high-speed internet). A solar system provides hot water and there are two gravity-feed back-up water tanks.
The cottage is built on a raised platform supported by columns with an open area underneath the house. Architectural plans exist for the conversion of the downstairs area to extend the cottage into a full-sized villa with two additional bedrooms, a bathroom, a large living area, a laundry room and a large wooden deck along the entire front of the house. The plans also provide for a 3-bedroom villa and an infinity-edge swimming pool above the existing cottage.
