Location

View the location on Google Maps

This property is located in the Northeast of Sint Eustatius, high up on the foot of the “Quill” volcano on the Knippenga Estate (200mtr above sea level). The location is known for its exclusivity, privacy and spectacular views on the Atlantic ocean and neighboring islands Saint Kitts and Saint Barthelemy. Surrounded by private luxurious villas and in close proximity of two hotels, it is the perfect place to build your dream home or rental villa. At a 10 minute drive from the airport and town center through beautiful unspoiled nature, the property is accessible via the partially paved public Bengalen Road and the private Knippenga Avenue.

The property

The lot offers space for your creativity and allows you to design and build your dream home exactly the way you want it (although a design is already available for your convenience, without obligation): whether that is a spacious multi-story villa, a charming cottage or a modern apartment, this lot provides the perfect base for your dream house. With enough space for a garden, swimming pool and outdoor areas, you can take full advantage of the wonders of this particular Caribbean location: unspoiled nature, stunning sunrises and whale watching.

On the property is a partially constructed foundation and water cistern.
