Have you ever dreamed of owning a little piece of the islands that you could call home? Or are you more interested in owning an investment property that is guaranteed to be worth your while all year long? Whether you are looking to retire in Jamaica, or just need a place to stay while you’re in town, Kemtek’s newest development in St. Ann, Jamaica has everything to satisfy your needs!
This newly developed exclusive gated community dubbed Drax Hall Manor, is comprised of two and three bedroom bungalows that are modern, stylish and very affordable for those residents or investors interested in owning a piece of the rock. It is secure, surrounded by concrete perimeter walls and outfitted with premium products and finishes. It’s the quality of life you deserve, especially for those living here in Canada and are interested in moving back home to Jamaica during retirement. The homes in Kemtek’s development were designed with a quality of life in mind, for those who have become accustomed to the luxuries provided in homes built here in Canada.
Since their inception Kemtek has launched twelve communities in Jamaica and built over 2,000 homes. They have realized that Canada has a huge market for potential buyers and investors, with 25% of purchasers being Canadian residents. As demonstrated by the huge turnout for their launch, it is clear that there is an interest in the product that Kemtek has to offer. They present a product that people are interested in, with modern amenities for customer satisfaction and comfort, built in a family setting around likeminded purchasers that ensures a harmonious existence of residents living within these communities.
“What we’ve realized is that the profile of the returning resident has changed,” explains Karl Tulloch, Director of Administration & Special Projects at Kemtek. “Long ago they would go and build a mansion in the hills and then after five years they realize they can’t climb the stairs, or one partner dies, so what we’ve done is created a modern community based home, secure, with all the facilities and meets all the needs that they have so that they can spend less to get more.”
This project is open to anyone who wants to own a piece of Jamaica including but not limited to, first time home owners, young professionals, investment purchasers and returning residents and so Kemtek has dedicated the time to provide a housing solution that meets all needs.
There are currently three housing solutions available for sale in Drax Hall Manor, The Vista, The Crystal and The Royal. The Vista, is featured as the perfect home for first time homebuyers, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, it has some of the finest details including granite countertops and standard Moen brand faucets. It is an open concept home with the living and dining area flowing seamlessly into the kitchen, with built in wood cupboards. Both bedrooms are located side by side with a Master Bedroom en suite, while the second bedroom has direct access to the main hall bathroom. This house is listed at $150,000 CDN.
The Crystal is a three bedroom, two bathroom home with two bedrooms off to one side and the master on the other. The large windows in the living room provide streams of sunlight into the main living/dining area as well as the kitchen. This house features the same granite counter tops, Moen fixtures, adequate cupboard space in the kitchen and lots of area to work and function with ease and comfort. This house is listed at $182,500 CDN.
The Royal is the largest home with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. It has a spacious open concept plan with a combined living/dining area conjoining with the kitchen. The master bedroom en suite showcases a standing shower with glass partition and the other two bathrooms provide for optimum privacy, comfort and relaxation, listed at $200,000 CDN.
Each of these homes feature a covered porch, solid wood cupboards, granite countertops and Moen faucets, as well as enclosed laundry rooms, with convenient in home access. Alongside ConserveiT Solar Power Solutions they have implemented energy saving solutions to many households in Jamaica and every house in Drax Hall Manor will be equipped with a ConserveiT water heater.
Drax Hall Manor is located conveniently ten minutes away from some of Kingston’s most sought after attractions like Dunns River Falls, Scotchies Jerk Center, Mystic Mountain, Dolphin Cove, as well as many beaches and the Ocho Rios tourist area. This provides the opportunity live like a tourist in the day, but then at the end of the day you can go home to your own home.
