Villa For Sale In Rosalie, Dominica

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’ve 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 feet 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 is easy to find coming from the Capital City of Roseau — 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, its nearest neighbor, is just across the river.

This home in Rosalie is ready to be finished just the way you want it! It has a floor space of more than 7,000 square feet measuring almost 140 feet in length and nearly 50 feet 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 style. There’s plenty of space (adequate for 6 bedrooms) for a home and guest house if desired. There are 5 bathrooms, plus three extra baths. It also has unbelievable built-in storage spacing throughout, plus three huge storerooms. There’s a finished guest room on the roof with 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, both inside and out, is all the beautiful STONEWORK — along the garden area, the circular Bar-B-Q pit, steps, columns, bathroom design, sinks, countertops, walls, walkways, waterfalls, even on the roof you will find an abundance of 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.

The 12 acres consists of gently sloping land that plateaus to a higher point, all with scenic views of the ocean. Wooded throughout, you will find PLENTY OF LUMBER TREES such as Balata, White Cedar, and Mahogany available.

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 feet by 12 feet standing 18 feet high! From there the water flows down to the house channeled underground protected by concrete, a distance of about 400 feet supplying the home with as much water and natural water pressure as anyone could ever want!

The occasional WATERFALLS on both ends of this Rosalie home are truly a sight to see all through the rainy season. Also, there are two waterfall-type outdoor baths, one up in the bush about 50 feet 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! These are especially nice when you come in from bathing at the beach.

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 directly in, withstood the force of those fierce winds and came through it totally unscathed!
