Lindbergh’s vision for future development is being expanded through the eyes of his son Spencer, a retired banker; daughter-in-law Jacqueline, a retired tourism executive and grandchildren Nicola and Spencer Jr. They have complimented the natural fauna of the original agricultural woodlands with old fashioned Nevisian cottages with modern amenities for long term and short term rental, Bed and Breakfast options, plus nature walks/hikes through the fringe of the rain forest.
