Property Description
Ridge-Top Sanctuary with Sea Views in St. James
Crick Hill Lot 2 is the kind of West Coast opportunity that rarely presents itself: an elevated, west-facing plot set along the edge of a natural gully with long, open views to the Caribbean Sea. The land’s mature tree canopy filters the light and frames the horizon, while the ridge position gathers the late-afternoon sun and the island’s cooling breezes. This is land for sale in St. James, Barbados that immediately suggests a home designed around sunset living, privacy, and the easy reach of Holetown’s beaches, restaurants, and everyday amenities.
A Canvas for a Signature Home
Measuring approximately 87,875 sq ft (about 2.02 acres), the parcel offers the kind of scale that allows real design freedom. The natural topography rises to the ridge and softens toward the gully, creating potential building platforms for a primary residence with wide terraces and a pool oriented to the west. The gully edge acts as a natural green buffer—an attractive feature for those who value privacy, birdlife, and a sense of seclusion—while the treescape provides dappled shade and the opportunity to weave outdoor rooms and pathways through the site.
Walking the land, you’ll notice clearings that open to sea glimpses and areas where the canopy parts to reveal big sky. The west-facing orientation is the hero here. Plan your living spaces to capture evening light and gentle breezes, and you’ll have a home that invites late lunches that roll into sunset gatherings. Whether you imagine a single statement villa or a collection of low-slung pavilions connected by gardens, the proportions can easily accommodate a main residence with guest cottage, staff quarters, or studio spaces—always subject to local planning approvals.
Nature, Light, and the Everyday
The images convey a feeling of calm: mature, leafy trees, a gently undulating ridge line, and sightlines opening seaward. It’s a setting that makes daily routines feel special. Mornings could begin with a quiet walk along the gully edge as the light shifts through the branches. Afternoons might be for a quick swim at one of the nearby beaches before returning for an evening spent on a veranda watching the sky turn gold. With Holetown just minutes away, practicalities are effortless—groceries, banking, wellness studios, and some of the island’s best dining are close enough to be convenient but far enough to keep your home life peaceful.
For those considering a Caribbean base with strong lifestyle appeal, the location does the heavy lifting. St. James is the heart of the West Coast, and Crick Hill enjoys a tucked-away feel while offering quick links to coastal roads. The balance is right: serenity at home, activity when you want it. This is sea-view land on Barbados’ West Coast that rewards thoughtful architecture and a long-term view.

Design Potential, Responsibly Considered
Because the parcel blends elevation with natural contours, it invites a design that sits lightly on the land—broad covered terraces, cross-ventilated rooms, and landscaped paths that thread between mature trees. The slope can be an asset, helping to position a pool and outdoor entertaining area to track the sun while retaining natural drainage and planting. If sustainability is a priority, the site lends itself to rainwater harvesting, careful orientation for passive cooling, and preservation of existing trees to maintain shade and habitat—all elements your architect and local consultants can integrate as part of the planning process.
