Offered for sale at $350,000 each are two adjacent quarter acre, flat land parcels in the center of a waterfront subdivision located south of the town of Coral Bay, St. John, USVI. It is rare to find flat building sites on the mountainous island of St. John. And, it is right next to a beautiful sand/pebble beach. A reef protects the bay so wave action is gentle and the water is clear. This idealic setting on Johnson Bay will make you want to get up in the morning to walk on the beach and watch the sunrise, feel the gentle breeze, and touch the inviting water. The property is encircled by the private drive of the Johnson Bay Estates subdivision.
You can combine the two parcels into your own private estate by building a fence, or stone wall to enclose them. The elevation of the building site is between 14 and 22 feet above sea level. A water view would be possible from the second level of your home. Zoning is R2 which means that four kitchens can be built on the two parcels. You could build one large home or as many as four smaller units. An approved building plan is available at no additional cost for the construction of two, two bedroom classic West Indian style homes on one of the two parcels. These dwelling units could be rented separately, together, or lived in permanently with guests or children occupying the second dwelling. You can take advantage of these plans by modifying them to your liking, which is much easier than starting from scratch with the approval process.
The beach is about 150 ft from the corner of the property. It is accessed through the Common which will soon have a new gazebo. The Common is a gathering place for the neighbors and perfect for an afternoon barbecue. There is also a community rack for storage of boards and small boats. Johnson Bay is a great swimming and snorkeling spot. It is the perfect launching point for essentially every water sport, including sailing, power boating, kayaking and canoeing. Johnson Bay is a bay within the larger Coral Bay which offers a long and interesting coast line. Johnson Bay itself is a marine sanctuary. Sea, air and land life is abundant. Lobster live in the coral heads. A walk down to the end of the beach brings you to a mangrove where it is possible to walk out on the reef.
