An enchanting, intimate eco-chic hideaway nestled in 7 acres of gardens
on a forested hillside that offers panoramic mountain and ocean vistas
while being mere minutes away from the beaches. Overlooking the town
of Port Antonio, the Caribbean coast and the Blue Mountains, Mockingbird
Hill offers quiet, peaceful and secure surroundings.

The hillside location offers the best of both worlds: mere minutes from the world famous Frenchmen’s Cove Beach, and panoramic views of the dramatic coastline. This eco-hideaway reflects the unique character that has made Port Antonio a destination for in-the-know travellers and is the place for anyone seeking spellbinding natural beauty. The property is just under 7 acres and is a Garden of Eden (with a wellness area for yoga & massages.) The 11 airy en-suite rooms are furnished with Jamaican bamboo furniture and European fixtures offering views of the lush gardens and coastline. The property has extensive common areas (lounge, bar, perch, dining terrace, 2 toilets), pool and a parking lot. Mockingbird Hill is being sold fully furnished with extensive environmentally friendly infrastructure, (rainwater harvesting, solar power & solar water heating) making it turnkey. With the ambiance of a relaxed, casual, quiet private estate, the property offers a range of options from a large homestead, a retreat for integrative recuperation and wellbeing or as a bolthole for musicians or as boutique resort and has great potential for further development and expansion

Greater operational efficiency and lower operational costs result from the use of renewable energy technologies .

Operational hazards and indirect losses as the result of potential natural disasters or
irregularity of public services have been minimised by the management. This includes
investing in an anaerobic waste water treatment plant for the hotel that utilises the grey
water for the water landscape feature. With regular rainfall the hotel can go for months
without requiring the use of the public water supply.

REDEVELOPMENT
The property itself is large enough and the flat tracts of land under the pool provide the
potential to be able to build more rooms and therefore offset the main costs occurring from
the public areas. The property provides an opportunity to create a holistic destination for integrative recuperation, healing and recovery. The existing Hotel Mockingbird Hill is the perfect starting point to create a space for patients that is therapeutic, restful and re-energizing. Additionally, Jamaica is one of the few countries worldwide where the cultivation of psilocybin mushrooms is legal. The property is ideally suited to be developed as psilocybin therapeutic retreat given its quiet, secluded location in the hills above Port Antonio. This peaceful corner of Jamaica with stunning natural beauty and the warmth of its people create a nurturing environment for healing and recovery. The potential to develop and expand on what has already been established to date is immense.
