Part of the Marquis Estates beauty is found in its original volcanic creation. According to studies, the Marquis area would have been among the first parts of the island to be formed. 70 million years of weathering has created a lush, dramatic landscape of mountain ridges, gentle slopes and the wide graceful river valley. The North West of St Lucia is steeped in history. The family of Empress Josephine, Napoleon's first empress, once owned the plantation Paix Bouche just along the ridge southwest of Marquis; St Lucians claim that the first Empress of the French was actually born there and not Martinique. A civil engineer by trade, the Baron de Laborie became Governor General of the island in 1784. In an island wide campaign he restored and improved much of the island?s infrastructure. A portion of the old French Road ran across the Marquis Estate, remnants of stone walls still remain. St Lucia lies 21 miles south of its nearest neighbour, Martinique, 24 miles north of St Vincent and 100 miles northwest of Barbados. This 238 square mile island is the second largest of the Windward Island chain, a sub-group of islands within the West Indies. The first European to settle in St lucia was Fran?ois Le Clerc, known as Jambe de Bois or wooden leg. He was a pirate who set himself up on Pidgeon Island from where he attacked passing Spanish vessels. The English first landed in 1605, having been blown off course on their way to Guyana. Sixty seven settlers landed and bought huts from the Kalinago, also know as the Caribs, who were supreme rulers of the Windward Islands. One month later only 19 were left and were forced to flee from the Caribs by canoe. The French arrived in 1651 when representatives of the French West Indies Company bought the island. Eight years later, ownership disputes between the French and English ignited hostilities that would endure for 150 years. During this time the island changed hands fourteen times. St Lucia was finally ceded to the British in 1814. In 1842, English became the islands official language but St Lucia retains a strong French heritage. The majority of the island´s village and town names are French, and with the Creole language Purchase Incentives Cashback Investment Characteristics Cashback Below Market Value Fully Managed Fully Furnished Guaranteed Rental Lifestyle Activities Casino Historic Sites Mountain Town Village Hills Resort Marina Equestrian Golf Beach Spa Amenities and Services Shops Tennis Court Property Characteristics Furnished Property Features Garden Landscaped Gardens Key selling points: 40% under market value 100% finance 30 days FREE use per year Guaranteed rentals St Lucias first SUPER RESORT Gary Player golf course Liverpool FC football academy Pat Cash tennis academy. http://www.arkadia.com/zpoc-t156965/
