Leading overseas luxury specialist PURE International is offering purchasers the exclusive chance to own one of a handful of properties at Goldeneye, one of the most sought after retreats in the world. Formally the home of Ian Fleming, where he created James Bond in January 1952, the Goldeneye estate was acquired in 1977 by music and entertainment entrepreneur Chris Blackwell and since then has been turned into a luxury destination resort; loved and frequently visited by celebrities, political figures and musicians .

Covering 100 acres of heavenly coastal land, Goldeneye now offers a collection of just 80 Lagoon Villas, Beach Cottages, Bay Cottages, Island Cottages, Bond Suites, all set around Ian Fleming’s former home, a natural lagoon and the established world class resort facilities. These stylish properties boast interior spaces of up to 5,000 sq ft and form one of the most attractive and exclusive lifestyle and investment opportunities in the Caribbean.

“Our clients expect exclusivity, discretion and unrivalled levels of service in the world’s most exceptional destinations. Owning a property at Goldeneye will deliver this at every level,” says Sean Collins, CEO of PURE International. “The opportunity to own one of these homes is the chance to become part of a unique and legendary legacy. With only a handful of properties available in one of the world’s most stunning locations there really is only one chance to be amongst the first to call Goldeneye home.”

The legacy…

Having visited Jamaica on a World War II intelligence mission, Ian Fleming fell in love with the island and returned to build his own home. He escaped nearly 11 winters at Goldeneye between 1953 and 1964 eventually writing all of his 14 ‘007’ thrillers at the estate. Today the retreat is a highly acclaimed boutique ‘Island Outpost’ resort part of Blackwell’s growing luxury destination group.

“The properties now being marketed at Goldeneye will continue this impressive heritage,” adds Collins. “We expect the historic lifestyle that this Caribbean destination has to offer will attract buyers from across the globe.”

The project…

Goldeneye will benefit from the wealth of planned spa, dining, yoga and tennis facilities, which are part of the Island Outpost resort. In addition to the terra firma sporting activities, the properties’ proximity to the lagoon and Caribbean Sea means that a wide range of water activities are also available including jet skiing, ocean kayaking, snorkeling and fishing. Goldeneye also features its very own sheltered beach and beautiful natural secluded coves.

Just like the original Goldeneye estate properties, all of the new homes effortlessly blend considerable outside spaces with the light filled living areas and all feature direct or nearby waterside access. One and two bedroom ‘Beach Cottages’ will be nestled against the main beach; one and two bedroom ‘Bond Suites’ are sleek glass, polished concrete and brushed steel apartments with plunge pools or roof terraces and views to kill. Lavish three and four bedroom ‘Lagoon Villas’ feature private pools and decks, with some enjoying guest cottages that add further entertaining spaces. ‘Bay Cottages’ on the Western tip of the Goldeneye peninsula have private white sand beaches and decks over the sea to dock small boats and stunning ‘Island Cottages’ are located on their own private island.

Jamaica resurgence…

In the past five years improvements to Jamaica’s infrastructure have helped to attract direct foreign investment of more than £560m for tourism development. The construction of two major new highways and the expansion of Montego Bay's Sangster International Airport will continue to strengthen the tourism renaissance this country is currently experiencing. 

Though subject to change, prices for the properties at the development start at £375,000 ($750,000) for a one bedroom Bond Suite and range up to £1,598,400 ($3,200,000) for a 4 bedroom Lagoon Villa.
