THE VISION
FOR SANDY BANK BAY
e guiding principle of the homes at Sandy Bank Bay
is to draw upon the island culture and environment to create
a plan in harmony with the land. is “feet-in-the sand” beach community covers Sandy Bank Bay to the harbour through a framework of conservation and open space areas. e multiple landforms offer a diversity of homesite design opportunities oriented to take advantage of spectacular views and island breezes.
Sandy Bank Bay will be part of the larger community of Christophe Harbour which has many natural areas, including salt ponds, beaches, dunes, mountains, plateaus, mangroves, grass/acacia and dry forest. e land is accentuated by peaks nearly 1000’ above
sea level juxtaposed against lower lands of the Great Salt Pond and expansive beaches of the Atlantic and Caribbean.
e intrinsic value of Christophe Harbour’s 2,500 acre peninsula lies in the beauty, vastness, and richness of this tropical island landscape.

Christophe Harbour will include diverse neighborhoods, communities and amenities, including Sandy Bank Bay and will grow into a comprehensive, balanced community. Sandy Bank Bay is in the northeast part of Christophe Harbour and is comprised
of an idyllic beach, beachfront conservation area, and rugged hillsides to be interconnected by a pathway system. e homes
are envisioned as an informally patterned series of pavilion-like structures celebrating indoor and outdoor living within diverse and expansive landscape settings and vantage points.
