Maho Bay Camps land for sale

Trust_edit_2 The Trust for Public Land is hoping to acquire the 14 acres which include Stanley Selengut's Maho Bay Camps

A director of the trust told St. John Rotary the lease for Maho Bay expires in 2012 and the land owner, Geri-Geri Corp., has it listed for sale "for a healthy price," according to the St. John SourceGreg Chelius said the Trust plans to meet with the owner's attorneys in New York next month.

Earlier this year, the Trust made a $19 million deal for Park acreage inland. Chelius told Rotary how his group got a foothold in the 419-acre parcel. 

One of the heirs had been presumed dead because he'd not been heard from for years.  The trust hired a private investigator who, in fact, found the heir, Joey Adler, living in a Veterans Affairs facility in California.  He received $1 million and is now more comfortable, and the Trust had the land which let it negotiate with other heirs.

Comments

If this tract of land goes for sale--and is bought by greedy rapacious interests--the island has lost its charm. Save Maho!

Sad sad...

Aloha.

I would think the property can be sold at any time.

The land is leased by Mr. Selengut until 2012.

A new owner would be likely to honor the lease.

Confused, Maho is up or sale in 2012 when the lease expires or now?
