The Beach Cottages, Cooper Island

Description

PRICE REDUCTION DECEMBER 2024 was listed at $2,500,000, NOW $2,100,000 Unique freehold beachfront property located in Manchioneel Bay on Cooper Island. The property has a rare combination of privacy and accessibility. The Hillside Hideaway and Beach Cottage are situated on an almost 3 acre site, which means there is plenty of room for further development and expansion. The property is a tranquil haven, just a few minutes walk along a beach trail from Cooper Island Beach Club. It also has a private 120ft dock, so a boat can be kept on site to navigate the short trip across the Channel to Tortola. The Beach Cottage is less than 50ft from the high water mark and provides a simple but comfortable retreat from the daily grind. It has a studio floor plan of 292 sq/ft with a fabulous covered deck providing an additional 220 sq /ft of space. Wander a little higher up the hill, following a 200ft trail through tropical flora and you arrive at the larger Hillside Hideaway. The Hillside Hideaway is around 800sq/ft with an open plan kitchen/living room and a private ensuite bedroom. The current owner has a second day bed set up in the living room to accommodate additional guests. As with the Beach Cottage, the Hideaway has a wonderful porch which adds an additional 360 sq ft. A perfect spot to watch the world sail by. Both properties run off the grid, with solar panels, rainwater cisterns and fridges and stoves that operate off propane gas. Cooper Island remains one of few places in the BVI which retains its rustic, desert island charm and with only 5 residential properties on the island, this is an opportunity which needs to be grabbed before it is too late.
