There should be a law in Jamaica equal to "Green space law" in the USA or the Mexican law where foreigners cannot purchase land by ocean. Some places should remained in it's natural state.
NEPA - It is absolutely critical that your agency works with the current and future owners of the land on either side of this river and mangrove to mandate that the ecology is preserved and RESTORED. A significant degradation of mangroves has taken place over the years, primarily on the eastern side of the river. The eco-system of the Alligator Hole River needs to be preserved in parallel with development projects.
Wow, so amazing. This gem needs development right away. Imagine how it would help the local economy in that little town. Employment for the locals and a place to truly enjoy by visitors who would wish to stay. #ecotourism 100%
I go here all the time because I live near by, but that dont mean that I would not pay if it is developed. Just didn't know it was private. Hurry up and build, cant buy gas to go mobay and Ochi.
Reminds me of Treasure Beach, it would be so good to have small beach and river cabins on this property. Been here before and wished the owners had a place to sleep over. Hope the right developer invests, it's a good look.
Manchester was a part of St Elizabeth ,but was divided, and that how mancheste,r became a parish. Also westmorland was a part of st Elizabeth, was also divide and that how westmorland became a parish.
St Elizabeth, was the larges parish.but now the second largest.the reason for that is because they divided the land of St Elizabeth in order for manchester and westmorland to be become a parish.
Beautiful place to hang out. Little Ochie and eat sea food gallore. Love the scenery. Hoping someone will buy. I will definately be interested in one of the units built. Love Mandeville.. .
So much potential. This would need some good ideas to develop and utilize the natural habitat as best as possible. However, I do agree with someone else that managing access may be an issue.
My uncle Derrick Rochester has a hotel down their not sure what is going on with it since he passed some years ago it’s a beautiful location though always loved as a youngster going to bull savanna and going to alligator pond when I would visit fun times
Please make it clear that the River is not for sale. And also make mention that whatever development comes, locals and other users of the river will have free access. Thank you
I WAS BORN , RAISED AND BRED IN THIS LOVELY COMMUNITY…. Alligator pond the community ,which is a little distance from the river, is apart of the south Manchester division . And if u look closely on a map it’s literally located on the border of St Elizabeth and Manchester .However on the opposite side of the river is St Elizabeth.
Nice tour and who a sell it, hope ah no government because at times them sell things to much as if they can't invest and develop the properties to make money. I wonder how much beach Jamaica have for Jamaicans.
If I hear you correctly, you said it's the last beach in that area. Well it shouldn't be for sale. The government body of Manchester should take that property and build something good to attract visitors to Manchester. If a private invester should buy this property it means private land and another piece of Jamaica gone into a rich person pocket. All beach front should belong to the state and for the people. Yes bring investment for the land but leave the beach front for the Jamaican children to enjoy. At this rate everyone try to make a big profit and not thinking about our future generations. I live in Florida and I can say this, investers buy and build there nice attractions but the locals can still enjoy it also without paying. We need to stop sell sell everything and leave the natural habitat for our childrens children's to come and enjoy and see natural at it's best. Jamaica for development but not for sale. I know you're just showing this property. Not pointing any finger at you. But we as Jamaican really need to stop and see what is really for sale.
Hi Ramone, thanks for watching and leaving us a comment 🙂. This property is currently a private property. However, the current owner chooses to allow locals to access his property at no cost. As you can see in the video a lot of folks were there enjoying the water. The current owner who is a Jamaican living in Jamaica decided that it's now time to sell his property. The new owner may or may not be as accommodating as the current one. However, if the new owner comes and decides to build let's say a resort; that would mean employment opportunities for the locals. So it depends on how you look at it. 🙂
@@sashathejamaicangirl8263 I'd suggest reading the points @Property Viewers made above and you'll understand that the government has no say in this. I can understand your POV, and I have a similar feeling but I would trust the government even less with this property.
@@buhrochem I knew New Forrest to be in Manchester, but Alligator Pond to be in St. Elizabeth. Well, all that area was in St. Elizabeth, before it was legally ceded to Manchester anyway.
Potential purchasers, ensure you get an Environmental assessment done before you purchase the property as there may be many environmental restrictions on how you can develop the property and to ensure you are getting value for money.
Anybody who buys that property for development will have a tough fight on their hands with the locals, especially if they develop the beach; everybody and their granny is going to want to come access your investment for free. 🙄
TVJ just ran a piece on its proposed sale. The people interviewed were mad that the property is being sold. I thought one has the right to do whatever he or she desires with their own private property.
not really, this river is usually filled with people, especially on holidays. I've been going there for years and often too and never spotted a crocodille
Oh no. Have to visit this place before someone buys it. It's been a local spot for years and it's been on my bucket list. I know the local community is going to give whosoever buys this place a fight.

Some places should remained in it's natural state.
Locals can buy it and turn it into hotel....sandals, sagicor, panjam, Hendrickson etc are all Jamaican companies that run hotels
This land should remain in it's natural state ecotourism would be a good idea
U so right.......
Perfect location for a 5star hotel
I like that you're looking at land as well! I'd love to start building... before I die.

Beautiful. The owner has taken good care of the land.
Just what the south coast needs coming out of the pandemic. Love it. Development equals opportunity. Great stuff.

If only I was rich I would snap this up so fast

This is beautiful!! I've never went up the river before nor even thought of what was up the river
Been there many times to swim in that river. I can’t believe it’s up for sale.
Absolutely beautiful 9:26

Worth every penny
Great job Keida! Someone will buy it right away, I’m sure of that. Nice to see videos showing land for sale 🙌
Thank you Dri 🤗
Lovely video as usual! That river looks pretty daunting tho! 🤣
So when you take away the beach from the locals where are they going to go?

Well said Ramone. It's sad but the government doesn't think of these things. They allow people to do as they please with the natural environment.

@@archaevist well said
I am confused. When I was a child, Alligator Pond was known to be in St. Elizabeth, what changed or I had it wrong? Blessings to you anyway
It's called petty politics. As far as I'm concerned it's in St Bess and always will be St Bess.
Thank you that is what I was thinking, the first I heard of a beach in Mandeville
You had it wrong. Geographically it's Manchester. New Forest is also Manchester even though it's mistakenly referred to as St. Elizabeth as well.
@@buhrochem I knew New Forrest to be in Manchester, but Alligator Pond to be in St. Elizabeth. Well, all that area was in St. Elizabeth, before it was legally ceded to Manchester anyway.
THANKS
If the land can be developed, it should be done. It takes cash to lake that happen. UDC perhaps?
4:23 curious, what happened to the other beaches
Potential purchasers, ensure you get an Environmental assessment done before you purchase the property as there may be many environmental restrictions on how you can develop the property and to ensure you are getting value for money.
Beautiful
What's the prices
Anybody who buys that property for development will have a tough fight on their hands with the locals, especially if they develop the beach; everybody and their granny is going to want to come access your investment for free. 🙄
Is it safe from hurricane?
Yes
And when rain fall, and the rivers are swollen, what happens next?
Hardly anywhere in Jamaica is fully safe from a hurricane so much ado about nothing
Even at times the river change its course
After the sale of this property, will the public have access to this beach?
Why do you always quote the price in US$. Is Jamaica now a state in in the USA.
Because J$2280000000 is an almost incomprehensible number.
TVJ just ran a piece on its proposed sale. The people interviewed were mad that the property is being sold. I thought one has the right to do whatever he or she desires with their own private property.
Homes in montego bay
I'm going to be the first one to ask the stupid question on everyone's mind, are there alligators in the pond?
Crocodiles
🤣🤣🤣🤣.....I heard that there are none but that was a longtime ago and the info could have been wrong
@@stacyjd2759 Why it name Alligator pond then?
not really, this river is usually filled with people, especially on holidays. I've been going there for years and often too and never spotted a crocodille
Yes there are crocodiles in that river...no encounters with people that I know of...this is the south coast...what do you think...
COULD BUILD SOM
Oh no. Have to visit this place before someone buys it. It's been a local spot for years and it's been on my bucket list. I know the local community is going to give whosoever buys this place a fight.
Nobody can own the beach it's for the people of Jamaica.
I think the problem with places like this is that this area of Jamaica is very hot, savannahish. Blessings anyway
Just wish this place was in the maroon territory, Richard Currie would stop this!
never sell this the people will be maaad
The name alone doesn't sound safe. Let them Alligators keep their habitat to themselves.
Don’t judge a book by its cover
See you don't advertise property for regular people no more!!
Yes. please keep dreaming ,people have money fi dashwa?
Not everyone's bank account is empty.
