With each interview my heart unfolded further, counting again and again the blessings we enjoy living on North and Middle Caicos. Of course we have challenges too, and the rustic rural ambiance is not for all. (Did I mention the mosquitoes and sand flies?) There is no doubt that the peace and quiet of North and Middle Caicos are considered by all who live here to be our greatest assets. The open space between the villages gives us calm vision out over the natural landscape, reminding us daily of the beauty we are blessed with here. The dark night sky lets us gaze in awe at the stars, reveling in the gentle sounds of nature. The warm and friendly faces of our neighbours bring easy smiles to every day—and soon all are your neighbors on these special islands. Living here inspires us to take the time to relax, take the time to appreciate, take the time to be grateful for our life. The steadily evolving and increasing population reflects the quality of life possible here inclusive of growth potential, friendly communities, a pollutionfree ecosystem and safe investment environment. Real estate for sale has something for everyone from multimillion dollar commercial opportunities (resorts/ subdivisions/developments) to high-end vacation rental villas ($850,000 to $1.5 million) to waterfront cottages under $500,000, beachfront condos and townhomes for $150–$200,000 and interior building lots under $75,000. At this time there are over 15 construction projects ongoing on North and Middle Caicos! The business opportunities are wide open from traditional trades (plumber/electrician/mechanic) to alternative energy, from fruit orchards to hydroponic farms, from watersports to tourism marketing. And in this country there is no income tax, no property tax, no sales tax! I often laugh with myself, using the same phrase for years: North and Middle Caicos are for the brave, perhaps best suited to those who would have liked to be a pioneer or an explorer. These islands offer themselves fully to those of stout heart and unobstructed vision. Whether you come to start a small business, take forward a development, partner with an existing business or simply to retire, please know that the 64 www.timespub.tc
opportunities are plentiful, waiting for you to investigate and make your choice. I am well content to know I will live out my life watching these islands slowly and sustainably grow, happy to be sharing this great lifestyle with new neighbours. Come and stay a while with us soon. a Forbes Realty TCI Property for Sale North & Middle Caicos Sara Kaufman moved to the Turks & Caicos Islands in 1994 after 15 years in Europe as a top management consultant. She fell in love with Middle Caicos and was one of the original developers of the Blue Horizon Resort on Middle Caicos. She co-founded the Middle Caicos Co-op to promote local artisans and traditional TCI handcrafts with friends working on the Crossing Place Trail Project, and met her partner, Daniel O. Forbes, in 1998 at a local dance to celebrate the opening of the trail! Daniel and Sara opened Daniels Café in 2000, an iconic Middle Caicos landmark. Their next venture was to set up Forbes, Forbes & Forbes Ltd., (aka Forbes Realty TCI) in 2005 to sell real estate. While initially dedicated to the private island of Pine Project1:Layout 1 11/10/16 1:54 PM Page 1 Cay, within a few years they were proudly promoting properties in North and Middle Caicos too.
