Tamarind Great House

Tamarind Great House, originally built in the 18th century and rebuilt in the 1990s, is a boutique guest house set on over 11 3/4 acres of land with a diverse collection of fruit trees, beehives, fish ponds, a swimming pool and a BBQ area. The property benefits from a private spring water supply that feeds the ponds and provides a constant water source. Solar panels have recently been installed to run the main house, garage, swimming pool and exterior lighting, contributing to a high degree of self-sufficiency.

Located approximately a 10 minute drive from the town of Oracabessa, home to luxury estates such as Goldeneye and Firefly, the estate is bordered by a river on two sides and offers panoramic mountain views. The main house comprises 10 bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, plus two powder rooms. Living spaces include a living room with a fireplace, a library, a kitchen and a dining room, a covered verandah, and a wet bar. Interior finishes feature wood and ceramic flooring, high ceilings and a sweeping curved staircase.

There is a double garage with living quarters above, and parking is provided as open parking in addition to the garage. The property is configured and maintained to support hospitality uses such as short-term rentals, event hosting and weddings, while also serving as a private retreat. Built in 1998, the residence totals approximately 8,000 square feet, has finished concrete siding and is served by a well for water and septic or similar on-site sewage arrangements.

This property offers a range of business and lifestyle opportunities while retaining a peaceful, tropical setting close to Oracabessa and surrounding amenities in St. Mary, Jamaica.
