Location Only half a mile off the northeastern coastline of St. Thomas, Thatch Cay is one of the last undeveloped, privately-held U.S. Virgin Islands. This island gem is part of an island chain along a tranquil body of water between St. Thomas and St. John, with The Caribbean Sea to the South and the Atlantic Ocean on its North side. With close proximity to St. Thomas and its marine facilities, Thatch Cay is wonderfully suited for one or more private estates. A water sports paradise, this island affords seclusion and security yet is only a 3-minute boat ride from the myriad of amenities of St. Thomas.

Property This 230+/- acre island stretches west to east for almost 2 miles, culminating in a 500+/- eastern peak. Numerous gentle knolls, spread along the spine of the island, afford breathtaking ocean vistas. A gentle promontory along the southeastern section of the island forms a protected bay for landing and development staging. Thatch Cay has already been subdivided into 3 parcels consisting of 57 acres west, 57 acres central, and 115 acres east, but further subdivision is possible, in accordance with standard land development procedures.

Thatch is heavily wooded as compared to most Caribbean Cays, and in its shaded areas provides great nature hikes with numerous panoramic views. One of St Thomas’s best dive sites is found in some caves by the north shore. There is excellent snorkeling in the crystal waters surrounding Thatch. Fish abound in the turquoise waters, and lobsters inhabit the coral caves.

Development opportunities Thatch is now subdivided into three parcels. Parcel #1, the western section, is 57 acres, Parcel #2, the middle section, is 57 acres, and the eastern section, Parcel #3, is 115 acres. Building one home for the entire island would be fabulous, but the three sections could each be developed into private estates. It is probable that permits for further subdivisions could be granted. It would be easy to locate numerous home sites with breathtaking views along Thatch’s northern cliffs and canyons.
