Discover the Carton Estate: A Unique Eco-Tourism Opportunity

Welcome to the stunning 386-acre Carton Estate, nestled in the picturesque St. Ann, Jamaica. Just over an hour’s drive from Kingston via the scenic north coast highway, this remarkable property is situated at an elevation of approximately 1,500 feet. The estate boasts level and rolling plains that provide breathtaking views and a refreshing climate, making it the perfect location for Jamaica’s first large-scale holistic eco-tourism destination.

The development potential here is vast, with opportunities to create 5-acre lots that can serve as Air b&b destinations, homesteads for returning residents, glamping and camping sites, and wellness retreats.

Additionally, envision a members’ club featuring a swimming pool, pickleball courts, a putting green, and delightful dining options including Jamaican-style and vegetarian restaurants.

The estate also offers the potential for a mini commercial center, which could include essential services such as an ATM, Paymaster, Rx pharmacy, bakery, and even a farmers’ market to support the local community.

Common areas on the property are designed to enhance the natural beauty of the surroundings, featuring a bird sanctuary, walking and bicycle trails, and recreational spaces including a football and cricket pitch, generously donated by the owner to the Parish Council.

As an anchor property, the historic 9,500 square foot main house, situated on 6 acres, can be purchased separately. This charming residence includes a café, gift shop, and a tour showcasing an existing 3-acre coffee farm, along with an array of things Jamaican, exotic local flora, herbs, and spices.

The asking price for the entire 386 acres is US$2.5 million (or J$ equivalent), while the historic house on 6 acres is available for US$800,000 (or J$ equivalent). This property, located in the beautiful Carton Estate, St. Ann, is currently for sale and presents a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in development land with residential potential.
