History

The Jan Sofat plantation and country house, located on the Spanish Water, date from the 18th century and were also known as Jan Zoutvat or Vredeberg plantation.

The property consisted of 555.000m² surrounding Landhuis Jan Sofat, the scenic hillside peninsula and three islands: Isla di Yerba, Isla Kiniw and Kiniw Chikitu.

Jan Sofat was not very successful as a plantation and therefore had several owners over the years, including the Government. The penultimate owners (until 1969) used the grounds, among other things, for the rental of plots for weekend houses at the Spanish Water. In 1969 the development of this area took an interesting twist. The land development company Spanish Water Resort N.V. bought the plantation and developed it into one of the most exclusive areas of the island.

The development of Jan Sofat has known interesting phases:

  • Since 1969, the company has been focusing on the development of the north, south and east side of this neighborhood;
  • Nowadays the lots in phases 1, 2 and 4 have been sold;
  • In 2014 phase 5 development started. The construction of a marina gave this phase an interesting turn;
  • In 2018 the company focused on phase 3.1, in which a total of 28 new lots were developed;
  • In early 2021 phase 6 was finalized.
