Chestertons Global Expands to St Vincent & The Grenadines with Bellegarde Estates
For the world’s most discerning property buyers, true luxury is defined by absolute privacy and untamed discretion. In an era of widespread over-development, Chestertons Global has expanded into one of the Caribbean’s most exclusive property frontiers via a dual-branded partnership with Bellegarde Estates.
Operating as Bellegarde Estates, the firm brings global reach to an extraordinary archipelago of 32 islands and cays. While joining an international network of high-net-worth buyers, the firm retains its vital local ownership and boutique on-the-ground advisory expertise.
Preserving Low-Density Luxury
St Vincent and the Grenadines sit at the pinnacle of private, low-density residential markets. This island chain has consciously resisted the dense commercialisation seen elsewhere in the region, preserving an authentic, low-density character that is increasingly rare on a global scale. It remains a historic haven for elite sailing enthusiasts, ultra-high-net-worth families, and second-home buyers who place an absolute premium on anonymity and discretion. The firm is led by Michelle Bellegarde, an industry leader who spent over two decades in senior corporate marketing roles at global technology giants IBM and AT&T before pivoting to luxury real estate. Holding prestigious designations including Certified International Property Specialist, Bellegarde brings corporate precision and an international outlook to the archipelago’s ultra-prime residential layer.
A Diverse Portfolio Across Pristine Cays
The agency's deep, localised knowledge spans the full length of the island chain. The team specialises in private islands, commercial development land, resort properties, and ultra-luxury villas across world-renowned enclaves, including St Vincent, Bequia, Canouan, and Mustique.
Because land across these exclusive cays is tightly limited and new development is fiercely controlled, properties within the Grenadines represent an exceptional, long-term wealth-preservation asset. By pairing Bellegarde’s deep, localised trust with Chestertons’ 220-year heritage, the partnership introduces global capital to a market where local knowledge is paramount.
