Terres Basses

Terres Basses

The majority of St. Martin Sotheby’s International Realty rentals are located in an area known as Terres Basses (French Lowlands) on the Western tip of the island. Unique in the Caribbean, Terres Basses is an exclusive gated enclave of over 300 residential lots, of at least 2 acres, containing some of the most spectacular luxury properties in the Caribbean. Private and secluded, the area is home to the beautiful white sandy Baie Longue Beach, Baie aux Prunes Beach (Plum Bay) and Baie Rouge Beach.

Terres Basses is well known for its cliff side and beachfront villas. St. Martin Sotheby’s International Realty has spectacular villas on the cliff (Falaise des Oiseaux) that boast incredible views of Anguilla, Baie Rouge, and Marigot Bay. Beachfront villas are located on Baie Longue Beach, Baie aux Prune (Plum Bay) and Baie Rouge. Each beach has its own charm and attraction. Baie Longue is known for privacy as well as beautiful sunsets. Many claim to have seen the famous “green flash” while vacationing on Baie Longue Beach. Plum Bay has great snorkeling when the sea is calm and good surfing when the swell picks up. At times you can also find locals surf casting for snapper, sea bass, and grouper. Baie Rouge is best known for crystal clear water and the local beach bar that serves fresh fruit rhum cocktails. The Baie Rouge Residence is an exclusive gated residence on the far end of the beach. The beachfront estates on Baie Rouge have world-class privacy and are protected by the rocky outcrop formations of the cliff.
