Blue Horizon — Country House in the Foothills of St. Ann

Nestled in the foothills of St. Ann, approximately 10 minutes east of Ocho Rios and bordering the White River, with Ian Fleming Airport about 20 minutes away, this charming country house “Blue Horizon” sits on roughly one half acre and offers garden and sea views from both upstairs and downstairs. The tropical grounds include assorted fruit trees such as mango, starfruit, june plum, breadfruit, coconut, and Otahiti apple, among others.

Built in the mid-1980s and originally designed as a single-family home, the property has been subdivided to provide two separate living units. Upstairs features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, an open-plan living and dining area, a kitchen, and front and back patios. The upstairs area totals about 1,715 square feet and includes a 600-gallon water tank with pump, a washer and dryer, a clothesline, and its own electric and water meters. A partially covered courtyard off the upstairs unit is suitable for al fresco dining.

Downstairs comprises a large one-bedroom unit with a bathroom, an open-plan kitchen/dining/living area, an additional room suitable as an office or bedroom, and a utility/storage area. The downstairs area measures approximately 1,129 square feet. The entire property is served by an 800-gallon tank with pump, a washer and clothesline, and separate electric and water meters for each unit. There is an independent entrance across from shared parking that accommodates three vehicles comfortably.

The driveway is steep and can be negotiated with front-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles. The property is being sold unfurnished, as is, for cash sale only; appliances are included. Construction and finishes include stucco and finished concrete siding, porcelain flooring, and National Water Commission service for water and sewer. Total interior area is approximately 3,000 square feet, with a total of five bedrooms and three bathrooms on the 0.50-acre lot. Parking is open.
