A recently published yearly report by The Agency Turks and Caicos shows the Turks and Caicos Real Estate Association recorded 300 sales in 2017, amounting to over $216 million. The luxury segment closed 2017 with over 100 sales in excess of $500,000. Some 93 properties were listed as either conditional or pending by the end of last year, cuing to a strong start of 2018.

Most of the traction in the market stemmed from single-family homes and vacant land – unzoned and residential – as opposed to condominiums, whose inventory contracted in the last 12 months.

Single-family homes made up close to 70 sales, with increased median price from $520,000 in 2016 to $787,500 in 2017. Independent rental opportunities with higher potential returns enticed both home seekers and investors in the residential sector, where properties with 4+ bedrooms did exceedingly well.

Vacant land enjoyed the highest sale number in 2017 – 136, as well as the largest spike in median prices – from $74,000 to $117,500. Water frontage, elevation and access to the ocean were some of the prime determinants of the value of land on Turks and Caicos last year.

“Investment in a piece of land that offers one of these features has a direct correlation to lifestyle, rent-ability and the all-important return on investment,” the report says, predicting increased developer confidence in North Caicos in 2018.

Emerging from a sound 2017, despite Irma, and boasting multimillion active listings – from the Triton Villa to serene lots – The Agency Turks and Caicos concludes that 2018 is “truly a time to be excited for the Turks and Caicos Islands.”

Located towards the southern end of Long Bay’s three mile beach, the warm turquoise ocean on the white powder sand beach will lead to the front of only a handful of Caribbean cottages and luxury villas. There are no hotels or commercial developments within two miles of the villa. This lends to the feeling of having a private beach.

Triton is designed to capture what has been lost on most high-end Caribbean beach destinations: a sense of peace and calm with all the amenities one would expect at Turks and Caicos most elegant properties. This uncrowded and peaceful piece of paradise is amongst the safest of the Caribbean islands and offers outstanding restaurants, world class conditions for kiteboarding, amazing diving, one of the best golf courses, and a wide variety of other fun activities.

Occupying over two acres of lush landscape and 155 feet of beach frontage, experience a setting of natural beauty while soaking in breathtaking panoramic views of the turquoise Caribbean waters. Providing relaxation, comfort and style in over 12,000 square feet of lavish beachfront living space.

There are a total of seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms, private decks for each bedroom, home office, and surround sound system inside and out. These features along with an outdoor movie theater with fire pit, an outdoor kitchen, a beach front yoga pavilion, a large glass front pool with an infinity edge hot tub, and private tennis court on one of the world's best beach front sites as ranked by Conde Nast.

The island of Providenciales is one of the most sought after, luxury residential and tourism locations in the Caribbean.

The post The Triton Villa: Serenity And Luxury appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

Owner of The Agency’s Turks and Caicos office, Hurdle clinched a $2.6 million deal on a stunning residence of over 4,500sq feet that sprawls along a scenic road, twisting around the Providenciales Island. Rendered in the British West Indies Colonial style with a large wrap-around veranda, the Jasper House lies only 400 feet from the tranquil Sapodilla Beach.

One of the few villas on the island with a boat deck right in front of them, the solid-concrete home features two master suites with ensuite baths, a third bedroom, an open-concept living and dining space with an adjustment kitchen as well as a mezzanine that can double as an office.

Some 5 miles northeast of the Jasper House, on the other side of the island, is the so called “Motherhouse” that fetched close to $8 million. Designed by award-winning architect Ron Shaw, the estate blends a Hollywood Hills aesthetic with a beach-y Caribbean vibe. A luxurious vacation rental that flaunts nightly rates of $3,500, the property consists of seven bedrooms that can accommodate up to 24 people. With stunning panoramic vistas of the Grace Bay shoreline, which offers prime snorkeling opportunities, the Motherhouse is flanked by lots that invite recreational development.
