133 Acres of Paraquita Bay Estate for Sale ~ 1914

Paraquita Bay Estate
1914

Paraquita Bay is located south of Maya Cove on the eastern end of Tortola.

It features one of the largest natural harbors in the British Virgin Islands where many of the vessels sought refuge before Hurricane Irma.

In 1914, over one hundred and thirty acres of Paraquita Bay was offered at auction.

Interestingly, in today’s value, the price would be about $8,000.00.

What a bargain for such a beautiful property!
