Majestic Land for Sale in Cuaraco Ideal for Development

Located on the northwestern coast of Curacao where Santa Martha Bay meets the Caribbean Sea, this expansive 1,551-acre development opportunity offers exceptional potential for luxury resort, residential, or marina development.

Two Prime Estates Spanning Santa Martha Bay

The property comprises two separate estates totaling 1,551 acres (627 hectares) situated on either side of Santa Martha Bay. The 115-foot inlet at the bay’s mouth naturally divides the San Nicolas estate to the west from the Groot Santa Martha estate to the east, with both estates extending northward to the small town of Soto.

San Nicolas Estate – Ready for Development

The 756-acre San Nicolas estate carries Tourist & Permanent Residential Development Land designation with building permits already in place and non-binding proprietary development plans available. The estate features an impressive 3.5 miles of varied shoreline beginning at an elevated peninsula that extends into the bay, offering commanding views over both estates.

The shoreline continues past 79 acres of salt pans along the bay before reaching the mouth where it transitions to 984 yards of coral beach and dramatic cliffs. The coastal journey concludes at Playa Franki, a secluded 492-foot sandy beach, before the estate turns inland toward the entrance gate.

A protected monument plantation house measuring 359 square yards anchors the estate from its elevated position, accompanied by smaller structures and a swimming pool. The main residence enjoys captivating views across the bay and sweeping vistas over rolling hills to the sea beyond. Dense native vegetation covers plains and hills reaching heights above 250 feet throughout the estate.

Groot Santa Martha Estate – Future Development Potential

The 795-acre Groot Santa Martha estate holds Future Development Land designation and borders the 185-acre Santa Martha Bay, the town of Soto, and the historic Groot Santa Martha plantation house. The estate encompasses 1,060 yards of bay shoreline extending past salt pans toward the inlet, where it meets the Sunset Waters terrain.

The property then stretches to the Caribbean Sea, continuing along 820 yards of coral shoreline. Like its counterpart, this estate features a secluded sandy beach – the 490-foot Playa Hundu – before turning inland through another inlet opening to a small bay. Dense native vegetation and varied hills reaching above 260 feet characterize the landscape.

Marina and Resort Development Opportunities

The San Nicolas estate offers exceptional development potential, particularly for marina construction given Santa Martha Bay’s favorable depth averaging 10 feet and reaching 16 feet at maximum. The specific topographical features across both estates support various development concepts including luxury resorts and championship golf courses.

Exceptional Caribbean Development Opportunity

With its strategic coastal position, approved development status, protected historic features, and diverse terrain spanning nearly 4 miles of pristine Caribbean shoreline, this property represents an unparalleled opportunity for large-scale luxury development in Curacao. The estates may be purchased individually or together, offering flexibility for different development visions and investment scales.
