One of the most common requests from people looking for St Lucia land for sale is a great view! A flat lot is also usually high on the wish list. Unfortunately the two often do not go together. St Lucia is a volcanic country. (Worry not, the volcano is dormant!)While the dramatic mountains and steep valleys are of legendary beauty, they can also be intimidating to property buyers. Anyone who has been searching for St. Lucia land for sale knows that completely flat 

land is a rare commodity!

However, steepness is not something one should fear. In fact, a little slope is a good thing. You have to be on a hill to get a view! Engineers know how to build structures to suit the topography of the island. In fact, some of the best views of the iconic Pitons are from buildings that are practically suspended in air. I am not saying you have to go that far! Hugging cliff sides is not everybody’s cup of tea. However, when viewing St Lucia land for sale, it pays to embrace a gentle to medium slope.

It is a great idea to involve one’s builders in the process of choosing St. Lucia land for sale. Bring an architect to see the property before making a final decision. They will advise as to what types of structures can be built on the land. Engineers will also let you know the proper drainage techniques to ensure that rain water is efficiently managed. This is very important as rain water must be directed away from the house. The engineer will also know the type of foundation that will best suit the soil and gradient.   

You can have it all when searching for St Lucia land for sale! With proper advice, you will enjoy those panoramic views, even if you like keeping your feet firmly planted on solid ground! Shop for land with an image of your home in mind and keep your architects and engineers close by.  With a little vision, you will find St Lucia land for sale that will have you living your dreams!
