Lion Castle Plantation Estate Lands, St. Thomas

A rare 140-acre Barbados estate offering multiple residences, polo facilities, horse stables, agricultural land, and exceptional development potential in St. Thomas.

Opportunities of this scale are increasingly rare in Barbados.

Lion Castle Plantation Estate Lands comprises approximately 140 acres in the parish of St. Thomas and forms part of one of the island’s most historic plantation properties. Positioned in Barbados’ central uplands, the estate enjoys panoramic views stretching across the South Coast, Bridgetown, the Port, and towards the West Coast.

This is not simply a parcel of land. It is a working estate with multiple residences, equestrian facilities, agricultural acreage, and infrastructure already in place.

Whether envisioned as a private family estate, equestrian property, agricultural venture, tourism project, or long-term development opportunity, Lion Castle offers a level of flexibility that few properties in Barbados can match.

Priced at US$6,450,000, the estate lands can be purchased separately or together with the historic Lion Castle Great House, which sits on 2.419 acres and is priced at US$9,000,000.

Why Lion Castle Plantation Estate Lands Stand Out

Large tracts of Barbados land rarely come to market.

Even fewer include multiple residences, equestrian facilities, established infrastructure, and panoramic island views.

Lion Castle Plantation Estate Lands combines all of these elements in a location that remains within easy reach of the West Coast and major commercial centres.

For buyers seeking scale, flexibility, and long-term potential, it represents one of the most significant estate opportunities currently available in Barbados.
