land is the most popular way overseas buyers enter the Grenada market — buy a lot now, build over a few years. Before you commit, confirm the registered survey plan and boundaries, legal road access, how water and electricity will reach the lot, what planning will allow, and any estate covenants. Non-nationals need the same Alien Landholding Licence as for a house.
Why land is so popular here
Roughly half of our listings are lots — from hillside parcels in Woburn and Bathway around US$55,000–90,000 to beachfront and multi-acre estates on the south and east coasts. Serviced lots in planned estates such as Calivigny Point, Egmont and New Westerhall Point give you roads, utilities and covenants that protect your view; raw land further out gives you space and price.
The checklist
- Survey plan — a current registered plan, with boundary pegs you can find on the ground.
- Access — a public road or a registered right of way, not an informal track.
- Water and electricity — is there a NAWASA main and a GRENLEC pole nearby, or will you pay to bring them in (or go off-grid)?
- Slope and soil — steep lots give the best views but cost more to build on; get a builder’s eye early.
- Planning — the Physical Planning Unit approves what and how much you can build; estates add covenants (minimum house size, no subdivision, design controls).
- Coastal reserve — a strip along the shoreline may be reserved; your surveyor will show where your buildable area starts.
- Drainage and neighbours — where does the water go in the rainy season, and what is planned next door?
Buying to build over time
There is generally no obligation to build immediately, which is why so many diaspora and overseas buyers secure a lot first. Property tax on undeveloped land is modest. When you are ready, we connect you with architects, surveyors and builders we have seen deliver.
