Pristine Bay Resort "Black Pearl" Golf Course Roatan

Pristine Bay Resort

“Black Pearl” Golf Course

A Golf Course on Roatan has been talked about for several years and now it is finally starting to become a reality. We will be having a “Black Pearl” Golf Course!

A Pete Dye Signature Golf Course will be at about the half way mark on Roatan and it will be the best thing that has ever happened to the Island and Roatan property.

Taylor Zimbelman is the man behind the landscaping and the architecture for Pete Dye. Taylor Zimbelman will be the man on site to implement the philosophy that the “Pete Dye family” has in order to make things work.

Pete Dye has become a big name in the Golf world for his designs and eco-sensitive Golf Courses. Over the years Pete Dye and his family have designed over 200 Golf Courses and have always had nature at the top of their list when they implemented Golf Courses and started the designs.

Most of the Golf Courses Pete Dye has designed have been close to the water and therefore Pete Dye had to come up with designs and techniques that would prevent water runoff that would not effect the eco-sensitive habitats. Here on Roatan property is in the same situation and we are happy to have a great name like Pete Dye, with such eco-sensitive thoughts giving his name to this prestigious project.

The Golf Course, Hotel and Marina will be situated on over 400 acres of the best Roatan real estate land available on the Island. Located on the North shore and protected by the second largest reef in the world, this Golf Course with excellent views will be the most prestigious project ever seen on Roatan.

REMAX-on-Roatan.com would like to wish Pete Dye and Taylor Zimbelman the best in their venture and we hope Roatan will be a better place for us all.

Roatan and “The Bay Islands” of Honduras are unique “pearl’s” in the world that are just being discovered. Roatan has a colorful history of pirates such as Henry Morgan and Lord Becket; a unique multicultural heritage; and is currently considered one of the top dive spots in the world. Pioneers of old and the divers of today have definitely found the mysterious "Black Pearl" (a rare and valuable commodity). As divers my wife and I came to Roatan in 1995 after looking for just the right spot for over 15 years. With the “right spot” I mean the best place in the world to raise our children in what would be a peaceful and beautiful environment. We then purchased a home and moved to Roatan with our daughter to start our new Roatan adventure. In 2005 we had a little boy. With a son and a daughter our little family was complete. My wife enjoys being a mom and also works as a Property Manager for “Lawson Rock”. This high end condo and retirement development has fantastic amenities with its membership and is famous due to its location and the lush tropical setting. I, Robert van der Weg, RE/MAX-On-Roatan, am a full partner with the RE/MAX office for Roatan and “The Bay Islands”. It is my pleasure to help people find their own piece of Paradise like we did. Roatan has an incredible amount to offer from an investment point of view, a retirement status, or just an enjoyable form of life on an Island that is still moving up the scale. Being in the early years of the real estate market here on Roatan you will be able to find your dream home, dream development, or even your own land to build your estate on. If you compare the prices and property in the Caribbean real estate market, you will not only find that Roatan is one of the most affordable islands but also one of the most diverse environmentally. Breathtaking views reveal that Roatan is green with rolling hills, mountains, and jungle vegetation accented with white sand beaches and a pristine coral reef. If you want to be in those hills with a view overlooking the turquoise and emerald green waters of the Roatan reef, I will find it. If you are looking for a beautiful condo on the beach, it is here and still affordable. If you are part of an investment group and want a beautiful piece of land that has an excellent return and is suitable for development, I will show it to you. “You ask for it, and I will find it!” ... All over the world the real estate industry is very competitive and in that sense, I like to be different. Living on an island as beautiful as Roatan, keeps my slogan simple: “Paradise Sell’s Itself” All you need is someone to point you in the right direction and that is where I come in. Roatan doesn't need people that are pushed into a deal that they may not want. Roatan needs people that enjoy the island and would like to make a purchase that they are comfortable with. I enjoy being the one that will show you all the purchasing possibilities and then help you feel comfortable as you make the final decision.
