Fully solar powered:

14KW off-grid system. With year-round sunshine and 90 inches average annual rainfall, Dominica is the perfect climate for off-grid power and water sustainability. Our state-of-the art solar energy system and rainwater catchment allow complete independence from expensive utility bills.

The resort has been awarded Platinum status in TripAdvisor’s Green Leader’s program.

Rainwater catchment and storage system provides all water needs but a main water connection is in place for backup supply.

Connection to mains electricity would also be possible.

Highly desirable location:

The property is located on the North of the Caribbean coast just outside of Portsmouth. Smaller and less crowded than the capital Roseau, Portsmouth is a friendly and relaxed town that is very well serviced with all amenities - shops, restaurants, bank, hospital, pharmacies and schools - all within 10mins drive.

Located on the mountainside surrounded by 100's of acres of undeveloped woodland, the location feels remote and private but is in fact only a short drive from the town and plenty of local restaurants.

The view overlooks Cabrits National Park and Douglas Bay Marine Reserve. The walking distance beach is one of the most beautiful in the North — quiet, clean and safe for swimming with a coral reef just off shore.

My husband and I bought Manicou River in 2013. There were three very rustic cottages and a villa but no electricity, little running water and only a poor quality road halfway up the property. We fell in love with the view, the land and the potential of the place. We started investing immediately and over the next few years developed it into one of the most unique and well-loved destinations in the Caribbean.

This is a highly unique property that must been seen to be fully appreciated. Please contact us. We can send video for a virtual viewing and are happy to answer any questions. Serious buyers only.

We are willing to consider viable proposals for vendor finance or lease-to-buy for serious buyers with appropriate assurances. If you fall in love with this property like we did, please get in touch to discuss.
