      <title>23 Propsect Hill - Ridgetop Lot with Panoramic Ocean Views</title>
      <description><![CDATA[
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em"><img alt="Photo" src="http://i.realbird.com/proxy/?fid=207855&tl=s&tr=s" ></div><a href="http://listings.realbird.com/C4B6D6E8/207855.aspx">Click for details</a><br /><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style='font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";'>This generous lot (over four acres) sits above the north-west end of St. Croix, better known as &#8220;Sunset Coast&#8221;. You simply cannot imagine a more beautiful spot. The views are breathtaking and vast. One can see Whim Estate, Sandy Point, Puerto Rico, Vieques, and, on a clear day, St. Thomas, St. John, and Tortola. Watching the cruise ships coming in and out of port in Frederiksted, you feel as if you are on top of the world, overlooking your domain. Every night is a different artful sunset. When a person speaks of a &#8220;million dollar view&#8221;, this is the kind of view that comes to mind&#8230;and it could be yours for less than half of that!</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style='font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";'>There is about a quarter of a mile corridor that runs down the ridgeline, planted with numerous fruit and ornamental trees. Lime, orange, mango, bay rum, quava, carambola, banana, plum, and avocado, have been planted, to name just a few. There is an herb garden, aloe garden, pineapple and Surinam cherry garden, orchid garden, and bell apple/passion fruit &#8220;fence&#8221;. The land sports many indigenous plants as well. Guava berry, wormwood, seman, flamboyant, poor man's orchid, three magnificent tamarind, mammy apple, sugar apple, ginger Thomas, bromeliad, ficus, ganip, and Crucian Christmas tree grace this mood altering space. </span></p>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style='font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";'><br />
Having traversed such a grand entrance, the property then opens up into an expansive knoll top. The land fans out into a large gently sloping area that would be a perfect spot for an estate. The covenants and restrictions in this private, gated neighborhood allow for three separate structures on any individual property. With a good road and electric poles running along side the edge of the land, the feeling of privacy is paramount, even thought the town of Frederiksted is only ten minutes away and the airport and major grocery stores can be reached within twenty minutes. This land is a perfect spot to "get off the grid" with gentle winds and plenty of sunshine for wind and sun generated power. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style='font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";'><br />
Paradise awaits you&#8230;.come see!&nbsp;</span></div>

      <title>Scenic Breeze - 15 lot subdivision - St Croix</title>
      <description><![CDATA[
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em"><img alt="Photo" src="http://i.realbird.com/proxy/?fid=57983&tl=s&tr=s" ></div><a href="http://listings.realbird.com/C4B6D6E8/57983.aspx">Click for details</a><br /><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.25in;" class="FreeForm"><span style='font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";'>60 Salt River, named Scenic Breeze, is a 15 lot subdivision with final approval&nbsp;ripe for final development on St. Croix's North Shore.&nbsp; All underground utility conduit, storm water management, transformer pads, meter pits, and other improvements are in place.<br />
<br />
The subdivision survey has been completed and the only thing remaining is the paving of the road that has been cut in and graded.&nbsp; An additional .75 acre lot is also included in the sale for a total of approximately 16 acres. The lots afford beautiful sea and panoramic valley views including the wetlands of Salt River, and have a variety of views, slopes and sizes. There are quite a few very nice local trees and shrubs on the property. This is a great investment opportunity without all the subdivision hassle. Purchase the sub-division and sell all the lots, or keep the best lots for yourself, and have them paid for by your profits. It would also make a wonderful 16 acre estate free of covenants and restrictions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.25in;" class="FreeForm"><span style='font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";'>The land sits above St. Croix's historic Salt River, and looks into the Salt River National Park and ecological Preserve, where Columbus sailed into St. Croix in 1493. It is suspected that Columbus sent expeditions onto this property looking for fresh water from one of several watersheds coming from the property.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 16pt;" class="FreeForm"><span style='font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";'>Scenic Breeze is centrally located on St. Croix's North Shore. These lots are minutes away from Salt River Marina and Columbus Cove Beach, and 10 to 15 minutes away from the fun at Cane Bay, the closest land to deep water in the world.&nbsp;The same amount of time will bring you to the best grocery stores on the island as well as Sunny Isle Shopping Center, and it is just a hop-skip-and a jump to Country Day School. A short drive will also bring you to either of our 2 towns of Christiansted or Fredericksted.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.25in;" class="FreeForm"><span style='font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";'>Visit <a href="http://www.property.vi/scenicbreeze/"><span style="color: black;">www.property.vi/scenicbreeze/</span></a><font color="#000000">&nbsp;</font>for more specific information.</span><br />

      <title>View Estate - Outdoor Oasis - St Croix, USVI</title>
      <description><![CDATA[
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em"><img alt="Photo" src="http://i.realbird.com/proxy/?fid=84084&tl=s&tr=s" ></div><a href="http://listings.realbird.com/C4B6D6E8/84084.aspx">Click for details</a><br /><p><span style="color: black;">This magnificent new home was designed by an AIA award-winning architect, and consists of 3100 interior and 3000 exterior square-feet.&nbsp;It was designed to maximize the gorgeous sea and Buck Island views by day and the twinkling lights of Christiansted by night.&nbsp;The house has a wonderful feel to it; you will never want to leave!</span></p>
<p>The heart of the house is a covered outdoor pavilion that includes a living area, dining table, grilling station, wet bar, and features a pristine saline pool that can be kept at the selected temperature via a solar controller.&nbsp;A changing room is on the lower level, where there is also an abundance of storage. </p>
<p>The master suite boasts his and her bathrooms, a walk in closet with built-ins, a large laundry room, a sewing room and an office. There&#8217;s also a spacious outdoor shower (private, but open), plenty big enough for two to enjoy! </p>
<p>The main pod features a great room complete with a fabulous entertainment area, dining space, kitchen, pantry and powder room. The cabinets in the kitchen and all other built-in cabinets throughout the house (and there are many) are custom-made African Mahogany.&nbsp;&nbsp; A large island surfaced with a single slab of Brazilian Jurassic Green granite, a full 30mm thick, provides ample space for cooking, eating, and entertaining.&nbsp;</p>
<p>A lovely pathway with lush tropical plantings leads from the outdoor pavilion to two guest suites, each with its own bath and gallery from which to enjoy the view.&nbsp;You&#8217;ll see plenty of local artist Isabel Picard&#8217;s work along the walkway to the guest wing.</p>
<p>Other features include a two-car garage and a 20KW propane fueled Cummins-Onan Generator, which will run the entire house and is fully automated to start and stop upon electric service interruption and subsequent restoration.&nbsp;Solar panels power the hot water systems. The landscaping on this one acre plot is lush and easy to maintain, thanks to the gray water-fed drip irrigation and fertilizer injection system.</p>
<div>This home is secure, energy-efficient, well designed and built, and tastefully decorated. The doors and windows, built in Nicaragua, are Central American Mahogany and feature hurricane-rated glass. The home is located in one of the most desirable and convenient beach-front gated communities on the beautiful island of St Croix.&nbsp;It comes fully furnished and has just been reduced to $1,999,900.&nbsp;Seller will consider financing this purchase for a qualified buyer.</div>

      <title>Caribbean Sea Views - Ridgetop Lot - St Croix, USVI</title>

you can see St Thomas and a few of the British Virgin Islands from here, and at night, you will not only enjoy the spectacular star show in the heavens, but see the twinkling lights of St Thomas.</p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0px;">This lot has an easement across the neighboring lot, and once you access it, you have a large, nearly flat area on which to build your dream home.&nbsp;The other acreage falls away both to the north and south, but assures you of tremendous privacy.&nbsp;A huge old Tamarind tree sits on the flat portion of the lot.</p>

<p style="margin: 1em 0px;">Located mid-island, you can be in Christiansted or Frederiksted<br />
town in 30 minutes, or at the grocery or central shopping area in even less<br />
time.&nbsp;But on this lot, you feel you are a million miles away from any civilization.&nbsp;The views and breezes are unparalleled here, and the lot is priced to sell.&nbsp;</p>

      <title>Oceanfront Beach Bar, St Croix USVI</title>

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" align="left">If your dream is owning a fabulous bar on a sandy beach, close to a cruise ship port, you've just found your new home! Coconuts on the Beach is a popular spot for locals and tourists alike. Wonderful stage for music, large deck for dancing, great beach for sunbathing and beach games, and a large bar for hanging out. Kitchen well equipped. Sale is of business only; not property. Coconuts - A true Island Beach Bar for sale and a &#8220;Sunny Place for Shady People!&#8221;<br />
<br />
There is great potential for a veritable tsunami of future demand for Caribbean property from baby boomers (AKA the &#8220;Jimmy Buffet Generation) weary of cold winters planning for their place in the sun. The &#8220;traditional&#8221; locations have lost their appeal to many of us in the &#8220;50 and over&#8221; category; and we seek the security of a US territory, but crave an island and Caribbean culture. So, now is the time, and this is the place, to invest in the Caribbean, and where better than St Croix; the largest of the three US Virgin Islands, and the island most ready and ripe for development. <br />
<br />
USVI Sotheby&#8217;s International Realty is proud to offer over the most popular and fun beach bar on the island for sale. Coconuts on the Beach has existed in this spot, under various names, for nearly 20 years. It has morphed and changed, but has always been a popular spot to grab a drink and watch the sunset! <br />
<br />
And what a perfect spot! White sandy beach, calm seas (Coconuts is on the westend, which is the leeward side of the island, and the water here is turquoise, clear, and typically calm), and balmy breezes. The bar sits just north of Frederiksted town, close to the turn off for the Rainforest, and also close to the proposed area for the huge new hotel, marina, golf course, and casino project. Coconuts is about 15 minutes from the airport in St Croix.<br />
<br />
The current owners have developed the restaurant and bar over the last six<br />
years, and not only benefit from the cruise ship traffic (cruisers can WALK to this bar....and do....in droves!), but have a very steady and loyal local<br />
clientele as well. &#8220;Sunday Funday&#8221; is a tradition on this island, and they<br />
attract a large crowd on Sunday afternoon with a fabulous outdoor barbeque (steaks, ribs, brisket, etc.), music, football, and Nascar on the TVs. During &#8220;season&#8221; (Dec. 15 - April 15), they team up with a local promoter and host a variety of state-side bands at the restaurant, which has a nice covered stage and large dance floor. <br />
<br />
They produce a weekly newsletter and have a loyal following who come out for the various events and happenings there; Coconuts is one of the &#8220;anchors&#8221; for the west end. You just don&#8217;t go west without going to Coconuts! And while these owners have really put Coconuts &#8220;on the map&#8221; so to speak (the bar is referred to in numerous articles about the Caribbean, check out <a href="http://www.caribbeantravelmag.com/articles/happy-hours-coconuts-beach-st-croix-usvi">http://www.caribbeantravelmag.com/articles/happy-hours-coconuts-beach-st-croix-usvi</a>), I&#8217;m sure YOU would have other ideas and could take it to the next level!<br />
<br />
The owners have had a great run, but are ready, after six years, to sit on the OTHER side of the bar for a while! They can provide you with detailed financial information (unlike many other business owners here) that support their asking price. You will need to sign a confidentiality agreement to gain access. <br />
<br />
The sale is only of the business name, entity (LLC), website, and facebook page, it does not include any real estate. There is a walk in cooler, prep table, fryer, and all the other essential kitchen items. They are on a month-to-month lease at $2500 a month, but your offer could be contingent on negotiating a long term lease with the landlord, to protect your interests. Their power bill ranges between $2000 - $3000 a month. <br />
<br />
So what are you waiting for? Sign that confidentiality agreement and get on a plane to get here and see for yourself where you could launch your new career as a Beach Bar owner/proprieter here in the sunny and warm US Virgin Islands! <br />

Cruzan Princess condos offer such an idyllic lifestyle here that might just fit the bill if that's what you are seeking. &nbsp;It's a small complex, only two stories high with only 34 units. &nbsp;All the units either face the sea or the pool. There is a nice little beach right on the premises, and a lovely cove just east, with gated access to the white sand beach. &nbsp;Two nice bars/restaurants sit on this cove, making it easy to stroll over for an<br />
afternoon cocktail to watch the sunset, and stroll back.&nbsp;&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style='font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";'><br />
The complex is gated, and there is a full time, on-site property manager there that oversees the maintenance and hurricane preparation for the complex. &nbsp;There are several garbage collection areas, and a few laundry areas around the complex as well. There's WIFI at the mail box area, along with shelves of reading material for owners and guests to swap. Each unit, especially the ground floor ones, have a spacious patio for enjoying the views and tropical weather.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">An historic treasure on the island of St Croix that at one time was one of the most </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">prolific sugar producers of the Caribbean. This Estate is a significant example of late </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">19th and early 20th century technology. Existing today are a well preserved Steam </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">Powered Cane Crushing machine, a well tower, and other building remains.</span></p>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
Fortunately, this site was bought or passed down to heirs who recognized the value of </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">the many documents, journals, records, photographs and other images of a lifestyle that </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">is now part of the past. Sadly, the outer edges of this property have already succumbed </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">to suburban sprawl.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
The history of the estate stretches back to the mid-1700&#8217;s. The original owner of the </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">entire estate was King Cristian VI, a Danish monarch. Upon the purchase of St Croix </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">from the French in 1733, the Danish West India-Guinea Company surveyed the island</span></div>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">extensively, parceling it into 150 acre lots within 9 quarters. It was during this time King </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">Christian VI held parcel 26 of Estate Clifton Hill (approximately 150 acres). </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">Abraham Marcoe purchased lot 22 of<br />
Kings Quarter and by 1754 cultivated cane and </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">erected an animal mill to crush cane and a boiling house to make cane juice into sugar.</span></p>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
By 176, Isaac and Frans Marcoe became owners of the land, and the family lived on the </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">estate for about 70 years. </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">A key lime stone in the factory wall is dated 1808, when St Croix was at its peak of&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">prosperity as a sugar producing island. With 100 acres in cane cultivation and 50 acres </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">in other crops, the estate operated with a labor force of 119 enslaved Africans. The </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">peak in sugar production was in 1816, and the sugar economy of St Croix began to </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">decline after that.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;">
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">The estate eventually came into the hands of the Hoffmans, who eventually stopped </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">producing sugar in 1896. In 1915, Hoffman modified the sugar factory and converted </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">the entire operation into a rum distillery.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
Hoffman produced only &#8220;white rum&#8221; in his distillery and used paraffin to coat the barrels </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">inside to keep the rum from turning color. Following his death in 1927, the family closed </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">the distillery at Clifton Hill. In 1933, his daughter Marie reopened the distillery by the </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">request of Austin Nichols and Company, Inc, in Brooklyn, New York. Under her </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">operation, she shipped 75 barrels of rum to NY every two weeks unit the mid-1940&#8217;s, </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">when high labor cost, shortages of&nbsp;sugar cane, and competition from Jamaican rum </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">distilleries forced her to cease operation.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
Most recently, the Hoffman heirs have sold off the estate to different people. Ferdinand </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">Abraham became one of the owners of the parcel currently for sale in Estate Clifton Hill. </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">(1-Y) This parcel is an<br />
outstanding example of changing technology in the St Croix </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">agricultural industry of the past. This estate is on the National Registry of Historic </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">Places. It is zoned &#8220;R-2&#8221; - which is residential<br />
zoning, but the possibilities are endless!</span></div>

The Courtyard is on one of the main streets in downtown and has a very &#8220;old world&#8221; feeling to it. It has a nice bar area as well as several areas for dining. The restaurant seats 50 - 150 people. Conveying with the purchase will be an 8 year lease at $2500 a month, a club license, liquor license, and cigarette sales license.

      <title>Beachfront Land on North Shore, St Croix, USVI</title>
      <description><![CDATA[
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em"><img alt="Photo" src="http://i.realbird.com/proxy/?fid=210727&tl=s&tr=s" ></div><a href="http://listings.realbird.com/C4B6D6E8/210727.aspx">Click for details</a><br /><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: &quot;ArialMT&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">This is a beautiful, 4.5 acre estate (3 acres are flat beach front) all with extraordinary </span><span style="font-family: &quot;ArialMT&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">views, infrastructure, plus building plans at an incredible price! Located on St Croix&#8217;s pristine North shore, just west of Cane Bay, this property is a mini rainforest on the beach. The property consists of three separate parcels, which the owners would consider selling separately, but buying all three makes the most sense for ultimate privacy. Huge trees grace the property, and the remains of a home and guest house are there waiting to be restored. It&#8217;s a rare opportunity that you can purchase over 680 feet of pristine beach front in such a private, lush spot. The current owners have extensive plans for the large main house and 2-bedroom cottage on the existing footprint, which convey with the property. Having the infrastructure (cisterns, a well, walls, building pad) and house plans (which cost well over $30,000) will save you a bundle, too. The project was permitted, although it has expired, but renewing an expired permit is much easier than starting from scratch!</span></p>
<br />
<span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;ArialMT&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">You are minutes away from several great restaurants, and to Carambola Beach Resort, golf course and Spa. Two dive shops are a stones throw away and some of the best dive spots in St Croix are right in front of this property. Don't miss this unique and rare opportunity.</span>

      <title>Panoramic Ocean Views - Swimming Pool - 3 Bedroom/3 Bath Home For Sale, St Croix, USVI</title>
      <description><![CDATA[
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em"><img alt="Photo" src="http://i.realbird.com/proxy/?fid=230027&tl=s&tr=s" ></div><a href="http://listings.realbird.com/C4B6D6E8/230027.aspx">Click for details</a><br /><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style='font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'>There are three things that are especially important when purchasing a home in St </span><span style='font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'>Croix: Location, view, and construction (not necessarily in that order!!!). This home has it in spades when it comes to these factors! </span></p>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style='font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'><br />
It is a &#8220;force 10&#8221; construction, which is guaranteed by the manufacturer to withstand hurricane force winds of up to 300kms per hour. This means that you will either not need to purchase<br />
windstorm insurance (which is VERY expensive here), or your costs will be dramatically reduced. More importantly, it gives you piece of mind that your home is built to withstand whatever mother nature throws at it!</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style='font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'><br />
The home is located in the prestigious neighborhood of Vista Concordia, which overlooks St Croix&#8217;s beautiful Salt River bay and Christiansted Harbour. The views from this home are simply spectacular, and the orientation is east, which means that the breezes are equally magnificent, which will dramatically cut your energy costs. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style='font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'><br />
From your expansive gallery, you can see the lovely Salt River Bay, once home to the Caribe and Arawak Indians and stopping point of Christopher Columbus in 1493. If you choose to have a boat here in St Croix, you can moor it here, and keep an eye on it from your<br />
home! The view also includes Buck Island and the British Virgin Islands, St Thomas and St John on a clear day.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style='font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'><br />
The design of this home is very easy and elegant. The huge great room is perfect for entertaining. Dual masters, each with large en-suite baths, solid soundproof doors, and incredibly large walk in closets, afford you and your guests privacy, views, and space. A<br />
third bedroom and en-suite bath are in a separate pod, and the large closet could easily be converted to a kitchen (yes, it&#8217;s that large) if you desired to have an income property.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style='font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'><br />
All the rooms open up to a huge gallery, which is where you&#8217;ll likely spend much of your time. Equipped with eating and lounging areas, as well as a nice refreshing pool, it&#8217;s just the natural spot in this home to &#8220;hang out.&#8221;</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style='font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'><br />
The home also has a 14KW propane generator, two central air conditioning systems (which are rarely, if ever, needed), a water purifier, double dish satellite system, hurricane shutters for the doors and windows and is fully fenced and has an electronic entry gate.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style='font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'><br />
The seller built this home in 2006 and has lived here full time since then. While he loves this home and enjoys living in St Croix, the time has come for him to move back to be closer to his children and grandchildren, and he needs to sell this home to do so.</span><br />

Well, you won&#8217;t find a better location than 69 Solitude here on </span><span style='font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'>the lovely island of St Croix. The name says it all....it&#8217;s very nice and quiet there, with </span><span style='font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'>lovely breezes to cool you and a nice view of Buck Island and the blue Caribbean sea. </span><span style='font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'>The home is very manageable; two bedrooms and two baths with a great room that</span><span style='font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'>opens up to a large gallery, which is realistically where you&#8217;ll likely spend most of your </span><span style='font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'>time!</span></p>
<p style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style='font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'>The owners have put in a saline pool with very energy efficient pool equipment, and the </span><span style='font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'>water heater is solar, so your electric bills will also be very manageable. And if you like </span><span style='font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'>to putter in the yard, this is a great spot. Well over an acre of land in a very private </span><span style='font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'>setting is there for you, with fruit trees, orchids, flowering plants and of course lots of </span><span style='font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'>beautiful palm trees! There&#8217;s plenty of room for your boat, or for a guest house should </span><span style='font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'>you decide to expand!</span></p>
<p style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style='font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'>The owners of this home have maintained it very well. There&#8217;s also a large generator, </span><span style='font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'>new applicances, and accordian hurricane shutters. This is a home you can enjoy year </span><span style='font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'>round, or close down for the<br />
summer and only spend the winters here. It would also </span><span style='font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'>make a nice vacation rental property.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style='font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'>You&#8217;re only a short distance from the lovely town of Christiansted, and close to </span><span style='font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'>numerous great restaurants, bars, and beaches. The Yacht Club and casino are also </span><span style='font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;'>closeby! So you can easily go from &#8220;Solitude&#8221; to &#8220;the action&#8221; in no time! Your choice!<br />

      <title>Lots and Land for $125,000 in Frederiksted, VI</title>
      <description><![CDATA[
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em"><img alt="Photo" src="http://i.realbird.com/proxy/?fid=205907&tl=s&tr=s" ></div><a href="http://listings.realbird.com/C4B6D6E8/205907.aspx">Click for details</a><br /><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">This piece of land is very near and dear to my heart. I &#8220;discovered&#8221; this land in the first month I lived on this island (with the help of my Realtor), and decided then that if I were </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">to ever build here, this would be &#8220;the spot.&#8221; The views are just unparalleled, and the </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">feeling up there is unlike any other here in St Croix. And St Croix has a LOT of nice </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">views, believe me!</span></p>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
What makes this parcel so special is that it sits at nearly the top of a ridge line, so that </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">you have a commanding view down the ridge, thru the valleys on both sides, to the </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">spectacular turquoise waters of the Caribbean. And if you like sunsets; you will see </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">some amazing ones from this property.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
The parcel is well over two acres, and is not covered by any covenants and restrictions. </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">So you could build two homes, and two guest houses on this land. My idea was to </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">create a little community of four homes there with a small &#8220;club house&#8221; and pool. There </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">are plenty of other options as well. This plot would make a wonderful vacation rental </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">property, a nice spot for a single family home, or a grand estate! The possibilities are </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">virtually endless! And the surrounding land IS covered by covenants and restrictions, so </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">your investment would be protected.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
The land contains a wonderful, nearly flat ridge right thru the middle of the property, and </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">is sloped on either side. So if you did choose to build four structures, each home would </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">have significant privacy; with two on the north side of the ridge, and two on the south s</span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">ide. Or take advantage of relatively flat ridge line and cascade your estate down the </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">hill!</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
Access to the property would have to be cut in from the road, or you would have to </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">obtain easements over three other owners&#8217; land for legitimate access from the top of the </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">ridge (the access to the lot is<br />
currently over these other parcels...). However, at this </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">price, you can afford to do it right and cut in your own road!</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
The land is close to the quaint little town of Frederiksted, where the cruise ships come </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">to port typically on the weekends and some Mondays. On those days, the town is </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">bustling with activity; it&#8217;s pretty quiet there on other days. However, it is home to some </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">wonderful restaurants and bars, and some cute and unique shops.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
The rainforest is closeby as well, so you can take advantage of the harvests from the </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">Sustainable Farm there! </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">This area is also home to a beautiful labyrinth and lots of historic sites and properties. </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;">You will truly feel like you are in the &#8220;West Indies&#8221; here....and that is a beautiful feeling!</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style='font-family: "Lucida Grande","serif";'><br />

      <title>Plantation Estate - Caribbean Views/Pool/Serenity - St Croix, USVI</title>
      <description><![CDATA[
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em"><img alt="Photo" src="http://i.realbird.com/proxy/?fid=203803&tl=s&tr=s" ></div><a href="http://listings.realbird.com/C4B6D6E8/203803.aspx">Click for details</a><br /><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">There are not many places in the world, let alone the Caribbean, where you can ﬁnd a sizable historic property in such a peaceful setting.&nbsp;You will be mesmerized by the vastness of the view and the serenity of this property.&nbsp;The Mt. Washington Great House and Plantation is considered by many to be the most beautiful historic restoration in the Virgin Islands &#8211; and perhaps the entire Caribbean&#8221; (Island News).&nbsp;Certainly, it has no equal on the lovely island of St Croix and everything about it is the ultimate in quality and perfection!</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;">In 1986, the owner of this property sought to undertake a painstaking<br />
restoration of a 1700&#8216;s two-story great house built from stone, brick and cut<br />
coral.&nbsp;His attention to detail and dedication to authenticity is evident at every turn, and the home currently houses a renowned collection of the owners&#8217; West Indian antiques, perfectly complimenting the home and setting.&nbsp;While the Great House is listed as being sold unfurnished, certainly for the right buyer and price, the contents could be negotiated separately.</p>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><br />
The 12+ acre property also includes a separate two bedroom two bath<br />
guest house, two stand alone and fully restored two bedroom two bath cottages that serve as rental property, an orchard, beautiful ruins, and a<br />
labyrinth.&nbsp;The property is situated on the side of a hill above the rainforest valley on St. Croix&#8217;s lush West End. The magnificent view overlooks green hills, above tree tops, down the length of a Nature Preserve and out to the blue Caribbean Sea. &nbsp;It will take your breath away!&nbsp;</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><br />
Amongst banana, avocado and citrus trees on the tranquil grounds below<br />
the Great house is 18th century stone ruins of a sugar factory, boiling shed,<br />
molasses cistern, two story dungeon, and stone remains of a 17-cottage<br />
village.&nbsp;The center piece of the ruins is the restored &#8220;cockpit&#8221; animal mill complete with 18th century wooden crushing machinery. &nbsp;The original animal stables were restored for the owner&#8217;s antique shop and are presently used as a yoga and art studio. &nbsp;</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><br />
A labyrinth, an ancient walking path of prayer and meditation built by<br />
the present owners, is positioned amongst the ruins and the fruit trees. A<br />
stone bell tower, housing an 18th century bell, overlooks the peaceful<br />
plantation ruins and landscaped grounds.&nbsp;Century old trees grace the property and provide cool shade, amazing color, and nice breezes on hot summer days. </div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><br />
Over the years the Great house, grounds and ruins have been the background for photos of brides and models, ﬁlms, and catalogs. &nbsp;Mt. Washington has been featured in magazines such as Colonial Homes/Traditional Homes, Gourmet, Architectural Digest, Coastal Living, and British Vogue. &nbsp;The grounds and Great house have been the site for a Danish ﬁlm and featured in a major Copenhagen newspaper, and most recently will be featured in an episode of &#8220;The Bachelor.&#8221;&nbsp;</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><br />
The Great house and furniture collection have been featured on the St. Thomas television show &#8220;Inside Out,&#8221; as well as photographed in Caribbean Elegance by Michael Connors. &nbsp;On more than one<br />
occasion, Mt. Washington has been the centerpiece house on the St. Croix<br />
Landmarks House Tours as well as being featured in island publications such as Island News, St. Croix This Week, and Vacation St. Croix.<br />

      <title>225 Cotton Valley Ridgetop Lot - Ocean Views - St Croix USVI</title>

in St Croix are elevation (to maximize the view) and orientation (to maximize the breezes). &nbsp;This lot is exceptional on both counts. &nbsp;It sits on top of Sierra Verde, with a view of the Christiansted harbor in the distance, and of course, every color of blue imaginable in the Caribbean sea. &nbsp;To build on this lot, you would orient &nbsp;your home toward the western view, but the parcel sits high enough that you would benefit from the easterly breezes. Sunsets from this location are simply amazing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<div style="margin: 1em 0px;" class="FreeForm"><span style='font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";'>The three quarter acre parcel is moderately sloped and would<br />
be easy to build on. &nbsp;There are paved roads all the way up to the lot, and the neighborhood is considered to be an excellent one. &nbsp;It is located on the east end of the island, close to several great restaurants and bars. You can be in Christiansted town in about 20 minutes, or at a nice beach in even less time. &nbsp;If you enjoy watching sailboats go by, listening to the birds, feeling the breezes, hearing the waves, and seeing a hundred shades of blue.... and would enjoy a quiet and serene lifestyle while still being part of a nice community, then this just might be your future home.</span>
