Own a piece of the birthplace of Bond

By the Caribbean Journal staff

James Bond was born in the Caribbean, in the mind of creator Ian Fleming, who owned a villa called Goldeneye in Jamaica.

Today, of course, the villa is a top resort operated by Island Outposts.

But the property is now launching a real estate component, meaning the opportunity to buy a piece of Bond’s birthplace.

Cottages and villas available range from 722 square feet to 1,570 square feet and range in price from $1.25 million to $2.75 million, according to Island Outpost.

Owners will have full access to resort amenities; the homes are furnished with all locally-made furniture.
