This beach house for sale in Anguilla is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a beachfront property in one of the most exclusive destinations in the Caribbean.

Ordinarily the island’s sandy shores can only be developed for commercial purposes but this building has been designated for residential use since it was first erected in the 1980s.

Stretching all the way from the secondary marl road to the sea, this parcel of 0.8 acres of flat land is nicely tucked inside the dog-leg at the bottom of Forest Bay. As well as boasting exceptional views of the southern isles – Tintamarre, Saint Martin and Saint Barth – the walled and gated property is enhanced by its lush indigenous vegetation, especially a picturesque cluster of several adult coconut palm trees.

Originally, the house comprised three bedrooms and three bathrooms with a panoramic terrace and an adjoining pool. The structure was severely damaged by hurricane Irma in 2017 and has never been repaired but the central core of the house can still be saved. Moreover, the positioning of the house, right on the seaside edge of the property, allows for ample space on the northern end to erect a separate building.

Ordinarily you can literally not put a price to a house on the beach in Anguilla, but in this case you can, and it’s even a perfectly reasonable one: Asking price: US$625,000.

Estimates for the reconstruction of the house range between US$200,000 and $250,000, placing the full cost for a reconditioned house on the beach considerably below one million dollars.
