Property Detail
Nestled in the lush countryside between Babonneau and Marquis Estates are three parcels of agricultural land, each with its own distinct geography and features. All the parcels of land enjoy good road access along a gravel estate road, and utility services are either in close or direct proximity. In terms of their position on the island, these estate lands are situated in the interior towards the east coast; approximately 30 minutes drive from the city of Castries heading south, and also 30 minutes from Gros-Islet in the north.
The features of each parcel of land may be described as follows:
1. 6.33 Acres - 5 minutes from the community of Boguis, Babonneau; and with an extended river boundary, allowing access to water for crop irrigation. Electricity is also immediately available to this lot, allowing a buyer to construct a dwelling or to utilize any form of electrical equipment here once a connection is in place. Topography is perfectly flat, and at the moment the parcel of land is fully utilized for vegetable farming. Irrigation lines are already in place, and connected to a pump system that pull water directly out of the adjoining river. For anyone interesed in vegetable or crop farming, this land may be a going concern.
2. 9.89 Acres - 5 minutes from the community of Garrand, Babonneau; and enjoys far-reaching road access, allowing ease of development of the property. While electricity is not directly available, there are electric poles within 2 minutes’ drive of the land. The topography is a mixture of gently slopes and flat terrain that extend to the riverbank, also providing direct access to water. This parcel is currently planted with some citrus and other tree-crops, in addition to over 100 young dwarf coconut trees. The potential for such a piece of land is huge, as there is space for inter-cropping or simply starting up a new project alongside the already developed ventures.
3. 13.42 Acres - The largest of the parcels is located alongside the main estate road, within 5 minutes of the community of Boguis, and 10 minutes of the historical Marquis estate on the east coast. It comprises a comprehensive mix of topographical features. With some of the land being fairly elevated, one may capture some sweeping views of the picturesque countryside, distant mountain ranges, and neighboring community. This plot is being actively used as a farm, with cultivation of a variety of food crops, fruits and vegetables. Being the focal point of this estate, there is an established country house, with a out-door concrete and stone oven, and hand crafted wooden benches. This site is ideal for hosting "Jounen Kweyol" activities, as well as other out-door festivities. There is scope for expanding the current operation, or for diversifying to other agricultural interests.
