I agree, the range of availability is pretty large without specifics. The most important of these would be where, geographically, on the island you would be interested. Large plots of land are become more scarce, especially in the north of Rodney Bay in Cap Estate and the island seems to be developing north to south, and west to east. The largest plots of land at the lowest prices may be in the southeast, which is now being anchored by 'le paradise' a Westin and Greg Norman project that will be increasing tourism numbers and property values dramatically in that region. There is still area undeveloped up the east coast (which is the atlantic side and more prone to harsh weather), but it looks like plans are under way at the Marquis Estate and South of that at Grande Anse. There is still plenty of space between Grande Anse and Le Paradise if you're thinking atlantic coast.

The west coast (Caribbean Side) is under even more resort development but there seems to be some available space for the right project. As stated before, you need to arrive at some specifics and there are plenty of people on St Lucia that would be able to help you find what you're looking for.

If you are looking to invest less than 50k for property with a home on it, why not try the Bay Islands (e.g., Roatan) in Honduras. They are very cheap compared to most other Caribbean destinations and have excellent investment potential. This is somewhere that you can still get in on the ground floor.

I think the best place to Invest is StMaarten,Netherlands Antilles
Very good Quality of life and really good income rental and sales!

Why not take a look at Grand Bahama Island, its got a lot to offer.
Grand Bahama Island lies at the northernmost point of a chain of islands known as The Bahamas (Spanish for “shallow seas “) only 60 miles from the east coast of Florida.
The island is 96 miles long west to east and 17 miles at its widest point.
Great location, all year round sunshine, 57 miles of fantastic beaches, crystal clear warm seas, Caribbean lifestyle, friendly people, safe, English speaking, great food and entertainment.
Leisure activities include golf (4 courses), sports fishing, sailing, scuba diving, all watersports, swimming with dolphins, cricket, football, tennis etc.
Purchasers of property can receive an annual Homeowners card entitling the holder and his family to stay for up to one year without visas.
No Property tax, No Inheritance tax, No Capital Gains tax, No Corporation tax, No Income tax.
Possible to rent property all year without restrictions. Shortage of homes available to rent which are suitable for foreign workers on contracts and tourists requiring more than a “condo”.
Rental yields are excellent with rental income for a 3 bed 2 bath house of $2500-$3000 per month for a one year contract.
New investment coming into the island includes Ross University, College of the Bahamas, Shipyard expansion, Fleming Group and numerous smaller investors.

Freeport the capital is a relatively new city and an International Duty Free port, founded in 1955 by American financier Wallace Groves who was given 150,000 acres in exchange for developing the island.
The roads are modern and traffic drives on the left as in the U.K. The infrastructure has been built to support a population of 250,000 people yet has only approximately 50,000 full time residents. Fresh water is in abundance and the Power Company has a modern reliable supply of electricity. Telecommunications services and facilities are state-of-the-art with direct International links provided through a 100% digital switching system. Cable television and internet are available throughout the island.
It is remarkable in this day and age to find an unspoiled place with no pollution or traffic congestion, only a 30 minute plane ride from Miami or Fort Lauderdale (home to Sawgrass Mills the largest shopping mall in the world) and 45 mins to Orlando home of Disney World.
Grand Bahama offers a chance to get in on the ground floor of some tremendous growth. The island is only just beginning to be discovered, it often reminds people of the opportunities they saw 40 years ago in Florida. Check it out !!
