N2  - In 1966, Don Noel and his wife discovered, on Jamaica's South Coast, an unspoiled, out-of-the-way village. They built a beachfront house, embellishing it over the years with a tennis court, a swimming pool and other improvements--and fending off roaming goats to establish lush plantings of tropical flowers and trees.
