Land For Sale: Paved Access & Views for only $99,000!

Are you looking to build a home here on St. John? Are you looking for gentle breezes and views of the harbor and lush valleys, all while being close to Skinny Legs, Lime Out and all of the other great restaurants and shops in Coral Bay? If so, you may be interested in this property that I have listed for sale. I am a licensed real estate agent with 340 Real Estate.

8-36 Emmaus, Coral Bay 

8-36 Emmaus, Coral Bay

This quarter-acre lot is located in the Seagrape Hill subdivision, which you enter from Route 10 (Centerline Road) just before Skinny Legs in Coral Bay. There are paved roads throughout the subdivision, making access very easy. This property has water views and amazing breezes. This property is priced to sell at $99,000. Owner financing is available to qualified buyers, making this an even more attractive buy.

As I mentioned, this property is accessed from fully paved roads, and there are utilities nearby. It has westerly views of Coral Bay harbor in addition to lush valley views. This property is peaceful and private, yet still close enough to the action of Coral Bay. You could walk to Skinny Legs if you want to, although you probably wouldn’t want to walk home uphill. 🙂 But it’s that close that you can!

Seagrape Hill is located near Skinny Legs and across from the fire station in Coral Bay.
The restaurants and shops of Coral Bay are minutes away.

This is a great buy for St. John. It is not often that you can purchase such a great parcel for under $100,000.

Galavantin’ – A New Spot for Dinner & Drinks

Da Event Lounge has rebranded itself after being closed for several months. It is now called Galavantin’ and it opened earlier this month for dinner and drinks.

Galavantin’ is located in the former Lumberyard space in Cruz Bay. It is beside Nella’s and across the street from Hercules Pate and just up the hill from Cool Breeze Car Rental.

The food its offering looks quite good. Over the past week, they’ve featured pan seared mahi with crab legs, jerk ribeye, sushi, and more. Check out a couple of pics and its menu:

Not only does the menu look great, but the prices are reasonable too! This is definitely a spot to add to your list!
