A 400-acre private cattle property and great house near Mandeville, widely regarded as the single best birding site in Jamaica. The diverse habitats — open pasture, coffee shade forest, woodland edges — support 27+ endemic Jamaican species confirmed in eBird checklists. Specialist birding tours led by expert guides have reported over 100 species in a single day. Advance booking essential; group sizes limited to preserve the experience.
