The hills and river valley of Mamiku Estate on the east coast of St Lucia have a rich history as estate lands. Originally covered in rain forest, a variety of crops was introduced here as St Lucia became colonized in the early 18th century. In the 1760s, sugar cane was first planted, making Mamiku a prosperous plantation for some time. The troubles of the Brigand Wars, around 1800, were played out in part on this estate, leaving behind a rich archaeological history of this momentous slave uprising. Eventually, Mamiku became one of the largest banana-producing estates on St Lucia's east-coast. By the 1990s, the estate was diversifying into other crops as well, including mangoes and passion fruit. Another important side activity at Mamiku is eco-tourism, and the Mamiku Botanical Garden has made quite a name for itself in the past decade.
Now, a small part of this old estate has been subdivided, and is being sold in lots. Twenty-three lots in all have been cut out, 16 of which remain for sale. The size of these ranges between approximately two (2) acres and six (6) acres . Some of the lots are high up on a hill side, offering commanding views of the surrounding countryside, while others are located in the valley, and bound with the Mamiku River. Some 3 acres have been reserved as Green Space, and will not be sold or developed. Invariably, this is peaceful, beautiful and fertile land, unspoilt by crowded residential development. A covenant is in place to ensure that this remains so even once the lots have been sold of, by limiting the number of dwellings allowed per lot, and also disallowing certain economic activities which would compromise the general atmosphere of peace and tranquility.
The lots are about 10 minutes' drive from the main Vieux Fort-Castries Highway. From there it's a 20-minute drive to Vieux Fort and Hewanorra Internaitonal Airport, and only a few minutes from Le Paradis resort development, and its signature 18-hole Greg Norman golf course. The access road to the lots leads through a banana plantation and a mango orchard. Prices range between US$65,340 and US$130,680 per acre, depending on precise location and size of the lot. There is currently no water, electricity or sealed road access, but the developer will be installing these in the near future.
