THE LAKES BARBADOS
YOUR HOME IN THE SUN

Four years ago the developers of The Lakes Barbados identified a void in the Caribbean market of product for retirement living. Throughout the world the baby boomers that have now reached the age of 50 plus are seeking innovative solutions to allow them to plan for a care free setting for retirement. The Lakes project was born and Barbados chosen as the location for the first village due to its stability, extensive infrastructure, and governmental support for overseas residents to buy property locally.

The developers of The Lakes Barbados, the best Barbadian partners, including Rotherley Construction as builders, along with experts in home markets from both European and American developments, were excited by the idea of such a facility in a holiday destination. With painstaking attention to detail, Mount Brevitor, St. Peter, in the north of our beautiful island, was selected as the location to provide the perfect home, in a perfect setting with cooling breezes and panoramic views of the famous West Coast, together with a wide range of first class facilities and services to make each day perfect!

Spanning 180 acres, The Lakes Barbados buyers will have their beautiful home in an environment that offers them many services. It provides the perfect balance between owning your own property and the independence and individuality which that provides, along with hotel type services making for a very relaxing and comfortable lifestyle. If you can imagine having your own home in the sun, with services readily available that makes it easy to manage that property, along with a gourmet meal service, village shop for basics, transport, bar, beach facilities, room service, gardens, parkland, nature trails, golf range, fishing in the lake, your own gym, pools, spa, treatment rooms, tennis, and a wide variety of events and services offered out of a central village hall, then you are a potential Lakes resident!

Care services for the older residents, range from domiciliary assisted living through to 24 hour nursing in dedicated facilities. 24 hour security, privacy and a modern communication package to stay “in touch with the world”, provide a lifestyle with a sense of wellbeing, contentment and enjoyment.

With the completion of over 50 homes and apartments, the Lakes Barbados has been described by buyers as a good investment for those with a keen appreciation for the “fine things of life”. In addition, an attractive investment element of The Lakes is the likely capital appreciation, and with selling prices as low as they are now, by the time the central facilities are up and running the return should be considerable.

Investors too will be attracted to the Lakes Barbados as there is a rental pool option which will be managed by experienced personnel.

For the second home buyer, the biggest concern when buying a property overseas is what happens when they are not there. Buyers can choose between the rental pool or the “lock up and go” option, both comes with a service which includes a property care, security, regular check ups, and even ensuring that the fridge is stocked for your return.

All properties are available as traditional freehold purchases, however, Lakes Barbados also offers the leasehold option, made popular in European markets. The show home, a Nicholson design, is open for viewing and the Lakes Barbados welcomes all, with or without an appointment.

Prices start at £160,000, and please request your free DVD.
