Many people fall in the love with the culture, food and wine of France and dream of living there. But the downside is living with the cold northern winters and the tourist crowds in the summer. The answer?...the French Antilles is tropical, cultured, with sun soaked unspoiled white beaches that are available throughout the seasons, and the rules for property and business ownership are the same as those of mainland France.
And almost anyone can acquire real estate in the French Antilles countries of Martinique, Guadeloupe, St. Barts, French Guyane and St. Martin.
Monsieur Plaissy, a partner of www. caribbeanlandandproperty. com. and a real estate consultant from the French Antilles, is delighted to see some English speaking nationals moving into the region. He says “For US citizens, like British citizens, to buy in France is really not a problem. To find out more go to the www. fniam. fr which is the biggest site for information on real estate in France.” He goes onto say rather regretfully after looking again at the FNIAM website, “I was thinking it could be in English but seems only been in French..., hope the people speak French a little bit...” But part of the charm of living in France is the language, so.. vive la France!
All French Caribbean territories have a level of physical and social infrastructure that is the envy of its neighbouring states. Stable utilities, road network, education, communications, trade, security and above all healthcare are all maintained to the standards set by France and the EU. When buying property there are none of the risks that are found in smaller economic societies. Underpinned by the French and European legal infrastructure there are enforceable building controls, tax breaks, safety rules and mainland standard utilities.
So what can you get for less than $200,000? Well, you can be the proud owner of a successful French Lingerie boutique, in the most prestigious Shopping Mall in Martinique whilst living within 10 minutes of some of the most stunning white sand beaches in the Caribbean. Now thats just the day job, home could be centred around a 4 bedroomed villa with pool and tropical gardens overlooking the Empress Josephine’s Golf Course for around $550,000! Of course, the Empress Josephine is long gone from her home in Martinique, but her cultural example lives on!
There are also many opportunities for those wishing to enter the tourist industry which is growing throughout the French Antilles, and where the number of English speaking tourists is undergoing the fastest growth. For example, a small villa complex of five holiday properties set in tropical gardens and 200 metres from the beach, is on the market for less than one million dollars.
