Covering 100 acres of heavenly coastal land, Goldeneye now offers a collection of just 80 Lagoon Villas, Beach Cottages, Bay Cottages, Island Cottages, Bond Suites, all set around Ian Flemingâs former home, a natural lagoon and the established world class resort facilities. These stylish properties boast interior spaces of up to 5,000 sq ft and form one of the most attractive and exclusive lifestyle and investment opportunities in the Caribbean.
âOur clients expect exclusivity, discretion and unrivalled levels of service in the worldâs most exceptional destinations. Owning a property at Goldeneye will deliver this at every level,â says Sean Collins, CEO of PURE International. âThe opportunity to own one of these homes is the chance to become part of a unique and legendary legacy. With only a handful of properties available in one of the worldâs most stunning locations there really is only one chance to be amongst the first to call Goldeneye home.â
The legacyâ¦
Having visited Jamaica on a World War II intelligence mission, Ian Fleming fell in love with the island and returned to build his own home. He escaped nearly 11 winters at Goldeneye between 1953 and 1964 eventually writing all of his 14 â007â thrillers at the estate. Today the retreat is a highly acclaimed boutique âIsland Outpostâ resort part of Blackwellâs growing luxury destination group.
âThe properties now being marketed at Goldeneye will continue this impressive heritage,â adds Collins. âWe expect the historic lifestyle that this Caribbean destination has to offer will attract buyers from across the globe.â
The projectâ¦
Goldeneye will benefit from the wealth of planned spa, dining, yoga and tennis facilities, which are part of the Island Outpost resort. In addition to the terra firma sporting activities, the propertiesâ proximity to the lagoon and Caribbean Sea means that a wide range of water activities are also available including jet skiing, ocean kayaking, snorkeling and fishing. Goldeneye also features its very own sheltered beach and beautiful natural secluded coves.
Just like the original Goldeneye estate properties, all of the new homes effortlessly blend considerable outside spaces with the light filled living areas and all feature direct or nearby waterside access. One and two bedroom âBeach Cottagesâ will be nestled against the main beach; one and two bedroom âBond Suitesâ are sleek glass, polished concrete and brushed steel apartments with plunge pools or roof terraces and views to kill. Lavish three and four bedroom âLagoon Villasâ feature private pools and decks, with some enjoying guest cottages that add further entertaining spaces. âBay Cottagesâ on the Western tip of the Goldeneye peninsula have private white sand beaches and decks over the sea to dock small boats and stunning âIsland Cottagesâ are located on their own private island.
Jamaica resurgenceâ¦
In the past five years improvements to Jamaicaâs infrastructure have helped to attract direct foreign investment of more than £560m for tourism development. The construction of two major new highways and the expansion of Montego Bay's Sangster International Airport will continue to strengthen the tourism renaissance this country is currently experiencing.
Getting thereâ¦
There are numerous airports across the UK and Ireland which provide direct, 10 hour flights to Jamaica. Kingston and Montego Bay international airports are both a 2 hour drive away from Goldeneye and all guests can be collected and brought to the resort. Alternatively direct shuttles via helicopter can be arranged and take no longer than 30 minutes.
Prices for the properties at the development start at £375,000* ($750,000) for a one bedroom Bond Suite and range up to £1,598,400* ($3,200,000) for a 4 bedroom Lagoon Villa.
