Skye Palms Blue Mountain
Presented by Regency - Christie’s International Real Estate
Sky Palms: Blue Mountain Location, Limited Supply and Uniqueness…The Mark of a Truly Remarkable Property ! One of the Turks and Caicos Islands Most Desirable Locations…
Sky Palms: Blue Mountain Comprising of 2.30 acres of prime oceanfront land, with an ocean frontage of over 250 linear feet. These two maturely landscaped and adjacent seafront lots each enjoy their own secluded beaches and dramatic cliff faces. The property has varied elevations from sea level, to approximately 102 ft (+/-), providing numerous options for the development of a private estate villa, or villa enclave. All with uninterrupted views and vistas of the ocean and its spectacular coral reefs.
The very peak of Blue Mountain is the highest point on the island of Providenciales, with a recorded height of 156 feet, and due to the scattering of visible blue light caused by atmospheric moisture (an effect seen throughout the world), the island typically has a blue hue when seen from a distance, especially at midday. A coastline of interspersed limestone cliffs and isolated beaches edges this region. Although typically sheltered, many of these beaches are found to be pristine and unspoiled. Snorkeling in this area can be excellent at many spots, especially directly in-front of the property. And given that Skye Palms, and the ocean beyond is well within the Princess Alexandra National Park, it remains unspoiled, peaceful and protected.

He is quoted to say that “it will be a destination unto itself: Forty-two cottages and four single family homes overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, sharing amenities and a staff devoted to catering unique, world-class experiences for a distinct class of travelers. The nucleus of the resort will be a stunning cliffside pool, restaurant and bar area that will feel as if you have entered into another world”. The Site plan below provides a visual representation of the property now offered for sale. Currently both Lots 1 and 2 are available, providing a 2.30 acre site with approximately 250 linear feet of ocean frontage.

Skye Palms: Blue Mountain Princess Alexandra National Park is a 6532 acres (2643 hectares) coastal and marine national park off the north coast of Providenciales. Included in this protected area is Grace Bay Beach, The Bight Beach, The Bight Reef, Leeward Beach, Smith's Reef, and a large portion of the northern barrier reef of Providenciales. Also inside is the Princess Alexandra Nature Reserve, which consists of the iguana sanctuary of Little Water Cay (Iguana Island), the wetlands islands of Mangrove Cay and Donna Cay, and the rocks of Lizard Cay, Bird Cay, and the Sinking Cays. Declared a national park in 1992, the Princess Alexandra National Park is highly important to tourism and most of the resorts on Providenciales are on the beaches in this region. Much of the water sport use around Providenciales also occurs here. Most of the resorts on Providenciales can be found in the Grace Bay area on the edge of the national park. Many of the busy dive sites around Providenciales are located on the northern barrier reef in the national park due to the ease of access from the resorts and Turtle Cove.
Skye Palms: Blue Mountain As can be seen from the Google Earth Map below, Skye Palms is central located on the north shore of the most popular island of Providenciales.

It is here where most international flights arrive at the Providenciales International Airport (PLS).

Found on the western end of the island chain, Provo offers all modern conveniences, including luxurious hotels, villas and condos, numerous restaurants, spas and shopping facilities, a championship caliber golf course, and full service grocery store.
