Mornings begin with an eFoil ride, afternoons are spent fishing or exploring, and evenings end with a sunset cruise.
This 0.76 acre lot on Caravel Avenue puts you in the heart of Leeward, Turks and Caicos' most sought-after neighbourhood. With 106.97 feet of surveyed canal frontage, imagine your private dock just steps from home, with the marina under ten minutes away for a sunset cruise.
Moments from Pelican Beach on Grace Bay, within walking distance of the International School and surrounded by luxury residences, this is where lifestyle and investment meet. Build your dream home or a high-earning villa; either way, you are securing one of the last great canal-front opportunities in Leeward.
From your dock to the outer cays
The Leeward canals bring you out at Leeward Going Through, the channel between Providenciales and Little Water Cay. From there the chain of cays runs north east toward North Caicos: Half Moon Bay, Water Cay, Pine Cay, Dellis Cay and Parrot Cay, each a short run rather than a day trip. Choose your cruising speed and the times update; tap a destination to pick out its line on the map.
From your dock
Times include 10 minutes idling out through the canal to Leeward Going Through.
Distances are measured over open water from Leeward Going Through to the middle of each cay's ocean beach, around the islands rather than across them. Times run from your dock: 10 minutes idling out through the canal, then a steady cruising speed over open water; your captain's course follows the channels, the reef and the tide, so allow a little longer. North Caicos is timed on the ferry route, which lands at Bellefield Landing in about 30 minutes from Leeward at full throttle, plus the canal, and does not change with the speed setting. Coastlines are drawn from the GSHHG global shoreline database. Indicative only and not for navigation.
120 feet on the road, 106.97 on the water
This is Lot 58 redrawn to scale from the 2019 site plan, with north at the top. It runs about three hundred feet from Caravel Avenue to the canal, with a block wall along its northern side and 106.97 feet of frontage at the water. That depth is what puts real distance between the street and the dock, and room for a house, a pool and a garden in between.
Press "Show the estate that fits" and the site fills up at true scale: the buildable envelope with the setbacks taken off, then a main residence of 5,040 square feet on the ground, 10,080 over two levels, a 60 x 16 ft pool on its terrace facing the water, a 1,440 square foot guest house, a garage and motor court off Caravel Avenue, and an 80 foot dock at the canal with an XStar 25 alongside. The second button shows where the sun comes up and goes down across the year.

Redrawn to scale from the site plan prepared by Robinson Surveying Services on 3 June 2019 at 1 inch to 45 feet. Distances, and the bearings shown for the road boundary and the two sides, are as surveyed; corner beacons W9142, W9145, W9161 and W9143 are as shown on that plan. The block wall and the edge of the canal are drawn where the site plan shows them. Sunrise and sunset bearings are for the longest and shortest days. The estate is a massing study rather than a design: the envelope is drawn 30 ft from Caravel Avenue and from the canal boundary and 15 ft from each side as working assumptions, every building, the pool and the terrace sit inside it, and the dock sits on the water within the lot boundary. Final setbacks, site coverage and height are set by the Department of Planning, and a dock is subject to approval. This is not a survey document.
Pick the boat for the bottom of the garden
Turks and Caicos has its own authorised MasterCraft dealer, Yellow Sun Marine, and its sister company Wake to Wake runs an all-MasterCraft charter fleet, so you can spend a day on the boat before you buy it. Pick a model and see it drawn to scale against the 106.97 feet of canal frontage.

Lengths, seating and ballast as published by MasterCraft for its current range. Boats are drawn to scale by length and laid end to end along the frontage for comparison only; the dock layout, any lift and the usual approvals decide the real arrangement. Yellow Sun Marine is the authorised MasterCraft dealer in Turks and Caicos, and Wake to Wake is its charter sister company.
A dock at the bottom of the garden
The lot runs from Caravel Avenue to the canal, with 106.97 feet of frontage on the water. That is room for a private dock just steps from the house, with the boat, the eFoil and the paddleboards at the bottom of the garden.
Afternoons are spent fishing or exploring Grace Bay, and the evenings end with a sunset cruise to the marina, under ten minutes away.
Out through Leeward Going Through
The canals open onto Leeward Going Through, and from the channel the whole chain of cays is laid out ahead of you. Half Moon Bay is 1.2 nautical miles away, Pine Cay 4.5, Dellis Cay 6.3 and Parrot Cay 8.1, which at a 20 knot cruise is about 34 minutes from your dock, allowing 10 minutes to idle out through the canal.
Even North Caicos is in reach for lunch. The ferry runs from Leeward to Bellefield Landing in about 30 minutes at full throttle, so from your own dock allow around 40.
Leeward, among luxury residences
Caravel Avenue sits in the heart of Leeward, Turks and Caicos' most sought-after neighbourhood, surrounded by luxury residences and the canals that make the area what it is.
Pelican Beach on Grace Bay is moments away, and the International School is within walking distance, which matters as much to a family living here full time as it does to a rental guest.
Room for a signature estate
As one of the larger canal-front lots still available in Leeward, it offers the scale, setting and prestige to deliver a property that not only stands out, but sets a new benchmark in this world-class community.
It is an exceptional opportunity to work with leading architects and designers to craft a signature estate on Providenciales.
Hours of light on the water
The survey puts numbers on the light. The canal frontage faces 061 degrees, east north east, so in June the sun comes up at 064 degrees, almost square to the water and straight down the length of the lot; by December it rises at 115 degrees. Sunsets fall on the road side, from 245 degrees in December to 296 degrees in June, so the evening light is at its best from the boat. The plan above shows both: press "Show sunrise and sunset".
For planning days on the water, this is the light you have to work with. In June there are almost thirteen and a half hours between sunrise and sunset, enough for an early run out to Parrot Cay and a sunset back on the canal; in December it is still almost eleven. The times move with the clocks, which go forward in March and back in November.

The numbers
Calculated from the asking price and the surveyed figures: 0.76 acres and 106.97 feet on the canal. Canal-front land is worth comparing by frontage as well as by area, because the water is what you are paying for.
The Turks and Caicos has no annual property tax, no income tax and no capital gains tax, so stamp duty and closing costs are paid once and that is the end of it. Run the full figure for this lot before you make an offer.

What buyers ask
How long does it take to reach the cays by boat?
Allow about 10 minutes to idle out through the canal to Leeward Going Through. From the dock at a 20 knot cruise after that, Half Moon Bay is about 14 minutes away, Pine Cay about 24, Dellis Cay about 29 and Parrot Cay about 34. North Caicos is the furthest: the ferry runs from Leeward to Bellefield Landing in about 30 minutes at full throttle, so allow around 40 from your own dock. The map above recalculates the cays at other speeds, and the channels and the tide may add a little more.
Can I put in a private dock?
The lot has 106.97 feet of canal frontage, which is room for a private dock just steps from the house. A dock is subject to the usual approvals, and I can point you to the right people before you buy.
How far is the beach?
Pelican Beach on Grace Bay is moments away. By boat, the beaches of the outer cays begin with Half Moon Bay, 1.2 nautical miles from the channel.
How big is the lot?
0.76 acres, about 33,100 square feet. The survey gives 106.97 feet on the canal, 120.10 feet on Caravel Avenue, and sides of 299.24 and 290.79 feet from the road to the water. It is one of the larger canal-front lots still available in Leeward.
How big a house can I build here?
Take the working setbacks off the surveyed lot and the buildable envelope comes to about 19,600.0 square feet. The study on the site plan fits a main residence of 5,040 square feet on the ground inside it, about 10,080 over two levels, with a 60 by 16 foot pool on its terrace facing the water, a 1,440 square foot guest house, a garage and motor court off Caravel Avenue, and an 80 foot dock at the canal. Buildings cover about 22 per cent of the site. It is a massing study rather than a design, and the Department of Planning sets the final setbacks, coverage and height, but it gives you the scale of what the lot carries before you commission anybody.
Is there a survey?
Yes. The site plan was prepared by Robinson Surveying Services on 3 June 2019 at one inch to forty five feet, with all four corner beacons, the block wall on the northern side and the edge of the canal shown. The plan on this page is redrawn from it, and I can send the original.
Can it work as a rental villa?
It is offered for either a private home or a high-earning villa, in Turks and Caicos' most sought-after neighbourhood. As with any build, the design needs planning approval, and your architect will take you through that process.
Can a foreign buyer own this outright?
Yes. There are generally no restrictions on foreign ownership in the Turks and Caicos. Title is held by an individual or by a Turks and Caicos limited liability company, and plenty of overseas buyers use the company route. Your attorney will advise which suits your circumstances.
What will it cost to buy, beyond the price?
Buyers pay stamp duty plus legal and registration costs. At this price point on Providenciales the stamp duty rate is 10%, payable within 30 days of the transfer being executed. The closing cost calculator gives you the full figure before you make an offer.
