Top of pagePrevious messageNext messageBottom of page Link to this message  By just curoius on Monday, March 24, 2008 - 03:54 pm: Edit Post

I'm here asking the same question as Bryan.How much for an acre of land with very beautiful sea and mountian view.There is such a place about a 1/4 mile from the beach in Treasure Beach and I am curious to know going prices also.
It is not far from the Treasure Beach Hotel going towards a place they call Lewis Ground I think. I wondered if anyone would know where I'm talking about.
You can see the Pedro Bluff the Santa Cruze Mountain and the whole village below.I know because I used my binoculars to pull it in on my visit there last year.I should have inquired then.

Why can't you put the price of the land and then advise negotiable if necessary.

Jimdonna

Land Owner this is for you.Could you say exactly where this property you are talking about for $30,000US is exactly located. I know this land I was inquiring about has a house on it but,there seems to be lots of land around it.
I pulled this land in like I mentioned before with my binocular from a place they call the wharf. It was as if I was looking straight on their front porch.

Thank the Lord it's not 2 acers someone has to purchase before they can build a house.If that was the case many, many people would not have a house because they would not have been able to afford the price of 1/4 what says 2 acers. That is way out of my league.
Good luck to the ones that can afford and, for those that have the properties for sale.I know some TB natives get angry because they think everyone that has sold or can afford to sell is only doing it for greed not knowing the financial circumstances of the sellers.
I will only say good luck. (To each his own)
Sell to anyone you so choose a brother,sister,uncle, aunt,friend or a stranger you might have met only once as long as you get your asking price that's all that matters.
Yes children should inherit but,again some children forgot they had left parents behind when they travelled abroad and sadly enough they had to sell off "their" inheritance to put food on their tables.

Just curious

The land is locate north of Frenchman's beach
If you go by the Big tree in Frenchman's make a right as you go up that road
you are facing the land on the hill
There is a beautiful white house that seem to be sitting in the middle of the the Land
it belong to a local Jamaican it is on 1/2 acre , There are two Americans that occupies 1 acre between them 1/4 acre 3/4 acre respectively

Total size of property 7 1/2 acres so you would see lots of space around
from there you can see Great bay , old wharf, calabash bay, french man bay at the foot of the
hill and Billi's bay to the west you would have the santacruz mountain in the back drop

maybe this is not the place you are talking about 1/4 mile from the beach sounds a little far
away
If you are sitting on the land you can see people walking on the beach

what is this talk about having to have 2 acres to build a house in tb....what do you mean are there strict building rules?????

This always gets to me why is everybody now a days selling their land in U.S. dollars. I understand it's a possibility of making more money but doesn't this means that the average person living in Jamaica won't be able to buy a peice of land to build and make a home for themselves, or even to leave for their children and grand children, what is going to happen to them, there won't be no more land made. I think this is a very sad situation.

CeCe, I keep reading what you said. It is so true. Too many children think they are entitled to get what their parents owned even if they had no time to take care of their parents. Even some who live in the same community seem to not be able to be "bothered". How sad. If the parents own land and feel they have to or want to sell it for some reason, it should be totally their own decision. Stop complaining and start caring. When your family is alive and needs you.

bbgirl, I am from the US but I agree with you as I've seen this same thing happen in the state I live in. Many of us born and raised in this state, and including our children, cannot afford to buy a piece of land because the local industries have changed and people with money from other states bought up the land and drove real estate prices sky high. I would love to own a place in Jamaica, but not at the expense of the local people.

I See no problem in sellign in Jamaican dollars if you intend to use the money in Jamaica. Ask US price convert to Jamaican dollars.

I understand the feelings of long time residents of TB about newcomers purchasing land.

I am a Kingstonian, I visited and stayed in TB from schooldays and was fortunate to see an ad in the gleaner which led me to purchase 3 1/4 acres in Great Bay.

I hope anyone from outside the community that buys a piece of land respects the traditions of the residents and makes their presence a gift to the area and not isolate themselves or degrade the environment.

Bad for some, good for others. Like Ce Ce said some children went abroad and realy forgot that they left a mother/father behind without an income and if they were living on an acer of land they had to sell a half of it to support themselves.
I see nothing wrong with this.They are old and need help and that,s the only way for them to survive or "survived".
I am from Treasure Beach and I personaly know of a very close family where that situation took place and now the children are old and wanting to return but,unfortunately I saw for myself the tears that were shed when the mother talked of abandonment from her children.
The land was cut into acers and sold and, I say "GOOD FOR THEM".
There are good children and not so good children when it comes to taking care of our parents.
Fortunately me and my brothers and sisters took care of our parents and now we can go home and build on what they left for us.
I hope that this will be a message to never forget. (TAKE CARE OF YOUR PARENTS) young or older.

I know there are many nice views looking out at the ocean but the full view of the pedro bluff and the whole view of the mountain range is not easily found in treasure beach. I know of only one such property and that is where miss Atilly and mass Septy lived. They are gone now but their children own what they left behind and I doubt if any of them are ever going to sell.I never knew it was so beautiful upon that hill untill I went to Mass Septy's funeral. Lucky Children but miss Atilly always talked very good about her children.

bbGirl

Land price are posted in US dollars to keep up with inflation
if you post in Jamaican dollars you have to change the price every two weeks
Because of the devaluation of the Jamaican dollar

don't knock people who have work hard and have bought into Treasure beach
they like the friendly people, the peace full and tranquillity of the area
let them enjoy what they have earn

There is enough Land to go around if you cant buy close to the beach
move inland 4miles or so from the beach you get it for half the price

To be honest the way the land is erroding along the beaches all over the world I personally would prefer to buy inland and, upon a hill with a view looking out at the wide open ocean is even more beautiful.
In the evenings the sun sets are to die for.
There are such places to be found in Treasure Beach and they are not far from the beach.

The term Beacon is ‘traditionally a fire lit on a hill to attract attention’. The Fortress will be the Beacon of the Treasure Beach area. It’s a Gated Development with 3br / 2bths. Email loris6529@hotmail.com or call Les @ 770-369-6529

"The term Beacon is ‘traditionally a fire lit on a hill to attract attention’. The Fortress will be the Beacon of the Treasure Beach area. It’s a Gated Development with 3br / 2bths."

Hmmmm...well, this would not be for me. If I were fortunate enough to live in Treasure Beach, I would not want to be secluded in a "Fortress." I would want to be in an area where I could wave to my friends and invite them in as they went by.

I have only encountered friendliness and open arms in TB, and that's what I would want to portray if I lived there. I understand that crime happens everywhere and the possiblity is always there, but if I take that fear with me wherever I go, then I might as well stay put and seclude myself with bars on my windows and doors.

Les, best of luck with your gated community - I've seen too many of them in the States to want to be a part of one in the beautiful, friendly community of Treasure Beach.

I tend to agree with TB Visitor, a gated community may not have its place in this quiet community where everyone knows each other. Beacon is even quieter than Treasure Beach and is more farming oriented. I am searching my mind's eye to find out where this community could go, and I am coming up with nothing. I wish the venture well though, sometimes these new ideas do well and creativity is always needed for development.

Hey Les, I recognized you. It is a great honour to come back home and take your neighbourhood to new heights. You Go Girl. I will call over the week-end.

To each its own there is something for everyone. I am interested. Who says by living in a gated community you loose the good ole Jamaican Hospitality of a jolly wave, a bright smile and a firm hand shake. I am sure that will all be there and more.
Good Luck with your Project.

I can't imagine a gated community in Treasure Beach, especially one called "The Fortress" ... that sounds like a place defending itself against an enemy, and doesn't sound like a place I'd want to live.

I'm curious: are there other gated communities in the TB area? I haven't seen any, but wondered if this was a coming trend.
