New Florida Estate
New Florida Estate (known as Parrot Estate) is in Saint Patrick Parish in Dominica. The estate sits just above Bellevue Chopin and is flanked by several notable estates, including Lisdara (Fantaisie) Estate, Prinstead Estate, and Rose Hill Estate. This area is renowned for its lush agricultural landscapes and scenic beauty. Positioned just below Morne Anglais, a significant volcanic peak, the estate provides a panoramic view of the surrounding rugged landscape and the Atlantic Ocean to the south.
New Florida Estate: Agricultural and Historical Significance
Historically, New Florida Estate has played an essential role in Dominica’s agricultural development. Its fertile soil, located within the fertile valley of Bellevue Chopin, has cultivated a wide range of crops, including vegetables, coconut, breadfruit, mango, and avocado. The estate sits approximately 1500 feet above sea level, offering an ideal climate for farming activities. It is easily accessible via a farm road that branches off from Lisdara Estate Road, making it a key area for agricultural activities in the region. The property’s strategic location near Segment #3 of the Waitukubuli National Trail enhances its significance as part of Dominica’s eco-tourism and sustainable tourism development efforts.
The land’s ample size, 6.25 acres, makes it suitable for residential development, retreat centers, or small-scale eco-tourism accommodations. The presence of a cleared section on the estate provides excellent potential for constructing homes or cottages that would benefit from the stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and surrounding greenery. The estate is also ideal for off-grid living, offering the possibility of solar or wind power installations.
