development opportunity

This is an opportunity to purchase a unique historic property, which was formerly considered one of the best boutique hotels in the Caribbean. The property comprises 24 rooms on approximately 34 acres of hillside land with panoramic views over the east coast of the island and the Atlantic Ocean. The historic Great House dominates the estate, located in the upper part of the site, bordering the rain forest. The expansive grounds below the Great House encompass the restaurant, bar and pool complex, two stone cottages, with five luxury villas located below. A five bedroom manager’s house is situated close to the main entrance to the property, which has been designed to allow separate occupation of the ground and first floors. In addition, there is a spa bungalow, laundry & warehouse, tennis court and a rainforest trail. The property has substantial development potential and we trust that an investor will save Ottley’s Plantation Inn.

THE HISTORY OF OTTLEY’S PLANTATION INN

The resort is named after the original owner Drewry Ottley, who arrived from Yorkshire in the 18th century to establish a sugar plantation. Over the years the house and estate has passed through various owners and was a private home when the Keush-Lowell’s family purchased it in 1988 and transformed the property into an exclusive inn. The original building was enlarged by adding a second storey, while maintaining the traditional style to create the Great House. In addition, various other improvements have been added over the years. However, the property was sold in 2017 and has been locked down for approximately four years. Therefore, the grounds are currently overgrown and the various buildings are in need of repairs, nonetheless the property is still one of the most attractive plantation estates in the Caribbean.

Development Potential:

Ottley’s Plantation Inn has substantial development potential and could with advantage be re-established as a luxury boutique hotel as it already has a recognized first class international reputation. Alternatively the site could also be utilized for the following purposes:
