HOME IN ROSALIE ON THE WATER

Are you looking for that perfect out-of-the-way place, with coconut and palm trees in every direction, totally secluded, and as quiet as can be? Well, you found it! This home in Rosalie is beautifully situated on 12 private acres right at the end of Rosalie Beach on the Atlantic Ocean. Don’t even think about climate change---it sits 40 to 50 ft. above the water! This 12-acre plot includes a nice, quiet section of the beach in its own separate cove area, and it’s all just a stone’s throw away from the cool, clear, and always refreshing Rosalie River. It’s easy to find. Coming from town, just before crossing the Rosalie River, drive straight inside to the left along the beach about a half mile and you can’t miss it. The beautiful Rosalie Bay Resort, our nearest neighbor, is just across the river.

This home in Rosalie is ready to be finished just the way you want it! It has close to 6,000 sq. ft. measuring almost 140 ft. in length and nearly 50 ft. across at its widest point. The main area of the home is primarily open on the inside and ready to be divided up and finished to suit your taste, and yours alone. There’s plenty of space for guest house and home if desired: 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, plus two extra baths with unbelievable built-in storage spacing throughout. There’s a finished guestroom on the roof with two beds and a large veranda with a spectacular view and two more separate guest rooms to be finished on the lower levels, both facing the ocean.

A key feature of this whole property throughout is all the beautiful STONEWORK; both inside and out---a long garden area, a circular Bar-B-Q pit, steps, columns, bathroom design, sinks, walls, walkways, waterfalls, even on the roof, you name it!---all of these can be found with classic and original stonework.

Another key feature of this entire structure is especially noteworthy and unique to this property. ALL of the reinforcing steel was protected from the ocean air in a most dedicated manner. On the VERY SAME DAY in which it was delivered it was painted and completely protected with thick, black asphalt primer. It stayed NOT ONE NIGHT in the open air unpainted; and if the concrete work was not done soon enough to cover it, it was painted again to ensure its thorough protection.

There is an abundance of CLEAN WATER coming down from the mountain with the entire source area up there both untouched and untouchable by anyone. The water flows into an “intake” and is channeled down to two huge concrete water tanks also situated up in the mountain, with the larger of these having a massive size: 23 ft. by 12 ft. standing 18 ft. high! From there the water flows down to the house protected and channeled underground a distance of about 400 ft. supplying the home with as much water and natural water pressure as anyone could ever want!

The WATERFALLS on both ends of this Rosalie home are truly a sight to see all through the rainy season. Also, there’s a private waterfall-type bath up in the bush about 50 ft. from the house where one can enjoy bathing outdoors in a natural, secluded, green and scenic setting. Now, who doesn’t want to strip off and do something like that every now and again!

While homes and businesses all over this nature island got slammed in 2017 and suffered staggering and incredible damage from the ferocious and relentless blast of Hurricane Maria (category 5!), this unyielding home, sitting right on the Atlantic Ocean where the storm came in, withstood the force of those fierce winds and came through it totally unscathed!
