House for sale Caracasbaaiweg CURACAO Willemstad Jan Thiel, Willemstad

Landhuis ( translated as Manor) Jan Thiel is tucked away at the end of a small sidestreet off the Caracasbaaiweg on a part of the old plantation Damasco. In the 17th century the lagoon west of Caracas Bay was one of the major salt lakes of the island. By the end of the 17th century, Damasco plantation was founded and became one of the most important salt plantations on the island. The first known owner of the plantation was the Dutch captain Jan Thielen. Until today, the name is therefore plantation Damasco, aka Jan Thiel.

The estate is approximately one and a half acres in size and is located near the bay of Jan Thiel, with fantastic views over the salt pans, where always large groups of flamingos are foraging and the special salt ponds are still visible. A private gate gives access to the salt pans for nice walks, cycling tours or horse riding. The beaches of Jan Thiel and Seaqurium Beach as well as the Spanish Water and Marina are located at five minutes by car of the estate.
