Sustainable Luxury Residences to Occupy UNESCO World Heritage Site
Pascal Mahvi, the developer of the Jalousie Plantation Resort & Spa, and hospitality expert Monty Zullo announce the development of an exclusive Residential Resort Community in the heart of the Val des Pitons on the island of St. Lucia. The Jalousie Enclave, the only residential development on Jalousie Bay, will be the first "green" resort in the world offering buyers the opportunity to own property in a designated World Heritage Site.
It is the collaboration between Mr. Mahvi, with his significant experience in the high-end resort industry and Mr. Zullo, the creative force behind famed New York institutions Doubles and Maxims that produced The Jalousie Enclave. Their pedigree and expertise within the hospitality arena will set a new standard of luxury for the second and third home investor.
"The Jalousie Enclave will fuse the natural splendor of St. Lucia with first-class amenities to create a truly unique residential resort experience," said Pascal Mahvi. "This unprecedented opportunity to own a home in a World Heritage Site is extraordinary."
The residential resort is located in one of the most meticulously preserved natural environments in the world. This limited collection of 22 two or three-bedroom villas and 51 estates is situated within a World Heritage Site designated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 2004. The 196-acre property is nestled in the Val des Pitons, on the edge of a pristine rainforest and overlooking the stunning turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. Coral reefs cover almost 60 percent of the UNESCO site's coastline. A protected marine park in the waters of The Jalousie Enclave's deeded-access beach offers some of the Caribbean's most amazing snorkeling and diving.
All structures at The Jalousie Enclave will be built to the United States Green Building Council's highest Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards ensuring the preservation of the area's protected natural resources. The Jalousie Enclave will complement the natural beauty of its surroundings with carefully designed homes, amenities and landscaping. Low-hanging fruit trees will be planted to aid natural runoff; and drainage catchments on the mountainsides have stopped erosion. As a true model for sustainable living, The Jalousie Enclave will use filtered "gray" water in each home's WCs, solar-powered water heaters and some green roofs.
Each elegant residence can be customized according to individual preferences and requirements. Homes will showcase a high degree of craftsmanship and feature local materials. Properties are sold freehold and owners have the option to rent or re-sell with no restrictions. Every investor in the residential community is provided deeded access to The Jalousie Enclave's beach. Property management provides turnkey maintenance and staffing of trained butlers, maids and cooks for each estate. Office services, banking and legal advice are also offered and an on-site representative will be available to oversee the lease of a purchased property for its owner.
The Jalousie Enclave will include a world-class spa and two fine dining restaurants in the planned $7 million Clubhouse, as well as a private Club pool and lake. Each lot will come with membership to one of the seven new PGA Golf Clubs and Courses. Transportation to and from the Golf Club will be provided by helicopter.
