Ti Vilaj Villa

Ti Vilaj Villa – Structurally Reinforced Renovation-Ready Home with River Retention Wall and Garden on 3,700 sq ft Plot in Coulibistrie, The Commonwealth of Dominica - A Rare Opportunity in a Historic Coastal Village

Located just steps from the main coastal highway in the heart of Coulibistrie—a charming fishing village on Dominica’s scenic west coast—Ti Vilaj Villa presents a unique opportunity to own a structurally upgraded home with exceptional potential for short-term rental or long-term living.

This concrete-built property has been gutted and reimagined for modern living, with extensive structural enhancements and layout improvements already underway.

Set on a flat 3,700 sq ft plot, the approximately 1,200 sq ft home has undergone major foundational upgrades, including 9-foot vertical steel reinforcements buried deep into the ground, paired with double horizontal steel bars for added underground stability. These reinforcements provide a solid base for future expansion and long-term climate resilience.

Interior walls have been removed to create an open-concept kitchen and dining area, while doorways and windows have been widened to enhance airflow and natural light. The living room now features an expanded doorway frame for wall-to-wall sliding glass doors, offering opportunity to invite the outdoors in, and offering seamless access to the surrounding mountainous views.

The home is connected to electricity for construction, has a ready water supply, and includes redesigned bathroom layouts to maximize space and comfort. As part of the sale, the owner-builder is offering approved architectural plans from Dominica’s Land and Planning Division to add a second story—accessible via interior or exterior stairs—to take full advantage of the mountain, river, and sea views that define Coulibistrie’s natural beauty.

Renovation Options & Estimated Costs

Buyers have the flexibility to complete the home as a single-storey residence with roof addition or pursue the two-storey expansion design included in the approved plans.

• Estimated cost for completing the one-storey option: USD $25,000

• Estimated cost for the two-storey option: USD $55,000 Final costs may vary depending on whether the buyer has DIY skills or chooses to hire a professional contractor.

• The Seller-Builder is available for consultation and support and is offering discounted rates for pre-bought building materials for the renovation.

Climate Resilience & Outdoor Living

To further enhance the property’s durability, the design includes a climate-resilient river retention wall along the entire boundary—engineered to mitigate erosion and protect against inclement weather flooding. This feature adds long-term value and peace of mind for future owners.

A small, low-maintenance patio garden has also been envisioned for the front and rear of the home—perfect for container plants, herbs, or a shaded seating area. It’s an ideal addition for guests or residents seeking a touch of greenery without the upkeep.

Ideal for Airbnb or Boutique Rental

With its central location just a stone’s throw from the village center and main highway, this property is perfectly positioned for Airbnb-style hosting, especially during high-traffic events like Discover Dominica annual events, like Carnival, the World Creole Music Festival. It also offers strong appeal for digital nomads and eco-tourists seeking immersive village experiences with modern comforts.
