Widcombe Estate: an exclusive enclave with unparalleled views

The desire-inducing proposition in Widcombe Estate - a new residential development overlooking the Liguanea Plains of Kingston - is the opportunity to buy into a truly exclusive enclave and call it home.

Situated in the cool foothills of the island’s capital and offering incredible panoramic vistas, the gated development - which seems miles apart - is conveniently located just two minutes away from the buzz of busy Barbican.

With lot sizes ranging from 8,963 to 15,214 spacious square feet, the new community is luring buyers seeking an exclusive island residence in safe environs; lots start at $220,000.

Close to shopping malls & other amenities in Barbican

“Widcombe Estate has many unique features,” developer Peter Rousseau explains, “its location in the hills of Kingston 6 and proximity to important Kingston landmarks is one important feature; it is literally two minute's drive to Barbican Road, three minutes to Matlida’s corner and Barbican Square in the other direction.

Another feature is that every lot has a spectacular view. Some have 270-degree views of the city, others have magnificent hill views and a few have both.”

A quiet haven in the busy city

Nestled in an area of light traffic, Widcombe Estate provides easy access to Hope and Old Hope Roads, as well as East Kings House Road - which in turn gets residents into downtown Kingston or New Kingston without any hassle or delay.

The property is also close to UWI, UTech, University and St. Andrews Hospitals, and several high schools including Campion College and Jamaica College.

Central to its appeal is the fact that the 25-acre gated community has exceptional security designed to guarantee peace of mind.

Available residential lots

Kaili McDonnough Scott, Realtor with Coldwell Banker Jamaica Realty, the exclusive sellers of the Widcombe Estate, explained, “What we are recognizing is that the Widcombe buyer is really a niche buyer - he or she is someone who isn't afraid to build and is eager to take on the project.

"Sales have been steady since we launched in January but in the next few months, the Widcombe buyer will change as the developers will be building homes on a few of the lots and then selling them.

This will be good for the buyers who love the development but who were afraid of taking on the task of building.”

Land space for expansion

According to Scott, “Buyers have been intrigued by the fact that there is still available land space in Kingston 6 and, what's more, that it comes with such spectacular views and easy access.”
