History

Otmar and Sonja Schaedle sailed into Bequia for the first time on Christmas Eve 1978. They had sailed down the Windward Islands from Guadeloupe, where they arrived from their Atlantic crossing on a French 3 master called the Belle Espoire. They immediately fell in love with Bequia and decided to spend a few weeks. While exploring the island, they stumbled upon a lonely spot above the sea, a place with a glorious view over The Grenadines.

Formidable walls, ancient water cisterns and heavy foundations - all abandoned! The discovery haunted them. After returned to Bequia the following year they managed to purchase the estate and set off re-building the ruin which they believed was a former plantation. These rebuilt structures became known as The Old Fort, which was operated until 2005 as a boutique hotel and is up to this day available for private bookings.

A though we have been involved in our own real estate endevours for decades, it's only lately in 2003, that we have become more involved in commercial real estate and development. It started with our own development where we developed part of our estate, then later the construction of a number of upscale villas. Through the increased demand of foreigners and friends wanting to invest in Bequia, we gradually became more involved in the real estate business, offering more and more properties around Bequia and St. Vincent and The Grenadines on a whole.

Today we have an impressive portfolio of investment land and properties in this quiet, but soon-to-be-discovered, part of the Caribbean. Some of our current listings can be viewed on this website. Feel free to click through and browse the information, such as the individual descriptions, high resolution images and a lot more. Keep in mind that the properties shown on this website, can only provide a snapshot of the opportunities, that can be explored by combining our knowledge of the region and network of local contacts.

We would be happy to assist and discuss the possibilities which St. Vincent and The Grenadines can offer. Contact us anytime and we would be happy to arrange for us to meet and for you to see yourself what the beauty of a country and its people can bring.
