Strategic Sale Offering – Isla di Yerba & Landhuis Jan Sofat Estate
The owners of Isla di Yerba and the Landhuis Jan Sofat Estate have made the strategic decision to offer these exceptional properties for sale to allow a new visionary to unlock their full potential.
Originally acquired in 2007 with a long-term development vision, both properties have been carefully maintained and prepared for future realization. Over the years, substantial time and capital have been invested into obtaining development plans, building permits, and zoning approvals for both locations. Isla di Yerba was envisioned as a private island retreat or exclusive residential development, while the Landhuis Jan Sofat Estate was set for a boutique apartment project, with a valid permit already in place for 44 units.
Due to shifting personal priorities and a change in focus, the current owners have decided not to proceed with active development. Rather than leave these extraordinary properties unrealized, they are now being presented to a buyer or developer who recognizes their unique value and opportunity.
This offering includes:
• Isla di Yerba: The last private island available for development in Curaçao, with the ability to create up to 10 high-end waterfront lots, a single estate with mega yacht docking, or a boutique resort concept.
• Landhuis Jan Sofat Estate: A generous parcel of land with a historic building in the heart of Jan Sofat, one of Curaçao’s most desirable gated communities. Ideal for luxury residential development or conversion into a private estate or exclusive club.
Both properties are offered as-is, with clear title, and no development obligations or encumbrances, allowing maximum flexibility for the buyer. All relevant documentation, permits, and drawings are available for review.
This is a rare chance to acquire two of Curaçao’s most iconic real estate assets — positioned for privacy, exclusivity, and long-term value in one of the Caribbean’s most sought-after locations.
Approved Development Plans Included – Ready-to-Build Opportunities
Both Isla di Yerba and the Landhuis Jan Sofat Estate come with existing development plans and government-approved permits, significantly reducing the timeline and risk for investors and developers. These plans are included in the sale price, offering a turnkey foundation for execution and a clear path to high-return development.
Isla di Yerba – Development Potential for Exclusive Waterfront Residences or Boutique Resort
For Isla di Yerba, detailed development plans have been approved for the creation of up to 10 luxury waterfront lots, each ranging between 2,500 and 3,000 m². Current zoning regulations permit a maximum building coverage of 20% per lot, allowing for residences between 500 and 600 m² each.
The concept allows for either:
• A subdivided high-end residential development, with each lot individually sold, offering a strong return on investment
• A single luxury estate with space for a mega yacht pier and supporting facilities
• Or a boutique eco-resort, capitalizing on the unique privacy and natural setting
All plans are fully aligned with local zoning requirements, and consultations with government bodies have already taken place. The expected timeline for a full build-out is approximately three years, from breaking ground to completion.
Landhuis Jan Sofat Estate – Permit for 44 Luxury Apartments
The Landhuis Jan Sofat Estate includes approved plans and permits for a 44-unit luxury apartment complex, carefully designed to blend with the historical character of the property while maximizing modern comfort and profitability.
Alternatively, the estate offers flexibility to shift toward:
• A signature private residence or family estate
• A wellness retreat, exclusive club, or hospitality concept
The property is located in a high-demand residential area, offering excellent sales or rental potential upon completion. The estimated development and construction timeline is also three years, depending on the scope and chosen design direction.
Strong Investment Potential
With all major groundwork already in place — including permits, zoning, and architectural concepts — the next owner will benefit from a significant head start, minimizing initial delays and upfront planning costs.
These assets offer:
• A rare combination of location, readiness, and flexibility
• Multiple viable development paths with high-end appeal
• Strong resale or rental potential in Curaçao’s growing luxury market
Both properties are development-ready, making this a strategic acquisition for private investors, developers, or luxury resort groups seeking to enter or expand in the Caribbean market.
