Lots/Land For Sale in Parish of St. David, Dominica :: 9.1 acre Rainforest Development Property with old estate house and it's own freshwater spring
Sell Price: 285405
Location: Fond Melle
(Just below the Emerald Pool and National Park)
Parish of St. David
Dominica
Property Type: Lots/Land
Property Details:

Located between the Central Forest Reserve and  Morne Trois Piton National Park and directly below the famous "Emerald Pool", this 9.1 acre rainforest property has its own fresh water spring, rated at approximately 60 gallons per minute.  The property lends itself to subdivision into 5-6 lots, or a private personal estate.  The site contours from 1480 ft above sea level at the spring to 1628 ft at the back, although the majority of the site is reasonably flat and easily developable.   At these altitudes, air-conditioning should never really be required.  The site also has an 400' concrete road to an old 1000 sq ft estate house which could be refurbished into a garage, storeroom, utility/generator shed, etc.

The property contains a number of different flowers and edible plants, from banana and grapefruit to breadfruit and watercress. The colorful Jaco Parrot can be seen on a near daily basis in the area. The river that becomes the "Emerald Pool" flows just past the back boundary of the site.  In fact the back boundary of the site is actually the centuries-old Carib Trace, a historic trail that was constructed by the English in 1828 and connected the Carib Territory in the northeast to Canefield in the southwest. It has been recently resurrected and now forms part of the Dominica National Trail Network which crosses the length of the island.  This opens up the possibilty for a hotel or guest houses that could offer food and lodging to hikers along the Trail Network, as well as along the highway.

The property has 600' of frontage along the Castle Bruce highway and is approx. 650' deep.   Utilities such as phone, cable, internet, municipal water and 440V 3-phase electricity are accessible from the highway.  Totalling almost 400,000 square feet, the property is priced at only $0.72 USD per square foot.  Comprised of two titled properties, 5.7 acres and 3.4 acres, which could be purchased separately.
