Terres Basses Villa For Sale, on these 500 hectares, more than 300 properties will gradually be created – today 260 are already built, around forty plots of land are still not built. The natural environment is exceptional for its vegetation and its fauna. Its opening onto three of the most beautiful beaches on the island (Baie Longue, Baie aux Prunes and Baie Rouge) adds to the beauty of the place which conquered the founder and the first occupants of the Allotment. Sea turtles regularly come to lay their eggs on these beaches, seabirds have taken up residence on “Birds’ Cliff”, mongooses, which have long had no snakes to kill and eat, are not afraid of man and come to hang out in the gardens, near the houses.

Just 2 hours from USA, St Martin’s soft white sand, lush green vegetation, clear blue waters blending into an azure sky, pause, breath, hmmm … this really is a heavenly setting. The island of Saint-Martin is absolutely unique and mysterious. Two cultures, French and Dutch, live side by side, mingling, inspiring and enriching one another, on this magnificent territory of only 95 square kilometers. The island offers visitors heavenly beaches with crystalline turquoise waters, delicious French cuisine, a vibrant nightlife, sports activities, haute shopping and much more.

The island has more than 300 restaurants, duty-free shopping and 37 white sand beaches. About 41,000 people live on the Dutch side, and 36,000 on the French side.

Terres Basses tops this list with not just great views and soft sands; any Caribbean island can give you this, staying in Terres Basses is about access to St Martin’s best while keeping you secure in this palatial estate.

Near everything, enjoying the best of nature and sights within the secure bubble of Terres Basses Villa.

Terres Basses, St Martin

Did you know that Terres Basses Villa was a separate island to St Martin! Thats why the land is richer when compared to St Martin land. Millennia ago, Terres Basses Villa was an independent island which slowly attaches itself to Saint Martin. This happened near at the two shorelines of Nettle Bay and Simpson Bay. The nature of the soil, mainly limestone with its white stones, contrasts with the rest of Saint Martin, especially volcanic with grayer stones.

The westernmost part of St Martin, a dollop of land that seems barely tethered to the island, features three secluded beaches dotted with million-dollar villas.

Facing southwest and stretching more than a mile from end to end is aptly named Baie Longue (Long Bay). However, only the generous section of beach near the luxurious La Samanna offers sand down to the waterline. On the rest, the ocean meets a colorful strip of limestone ironshore.

The surf often kicks up in September and stays rough through November or December, making for dangerous swimming, but the entire beach is always great for strolling, golden sunset views and shell collecting.

Moving west, you reach Pointe du Canonnier at the very tip of the island. Around the point, Baie aux Prunes (Plum Bay) unfurls a sea grape-lined ribbon of paper-white sand. Dive into the clear water at its north end for superb snorkeling and swimming, and claim a spot for what is, hands down, the best beach for a romantic sunset.

Facing north and bordered by towering cliffs on each end, Baie Rouge’s (Red Bay) long arc of beige sand and calm blue water is the most popular of the Lowland beaches. Snorkel through the rock arch on the east side, called David’s Grotto, and you’ll find a hidden nook of sand.

Aside from private villas, the only rooms out here are at the four-star La Samanna, which has a commanding view from atop Baie Longue’s east cliff. Lounges and water-sports equipment are for guests only, but the beach is open to all.

Road signs lead to Baie Longue and Baie aux Prunes; park on the unmarked sandy pull-offs and follow the footpaths between fences. Shell collecting is best near Pointe du Canonnier.
