Additionally, a larger plantation was situated inland, north of Oranjestad in San Barbola, birthplace of Virginia Demetricia.

[4] The plantation derives its name from a Swedish mining engineer Paulus Printz, who lived in the area during the eighteenth century while searching for gold on behalf of the Administrators of the Chamber of Amsterdam of the Dutch West India Company.

According to Van Raders' 1825 map, the ruin of his dwelling (№ 37) was located on the hilltop to the northwest of the plantation, but it has since disappeared.

[6] Situated 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) from the visitor's center and approximately 600 metres (0.37 mi) northwest from Plantage Fontein (Fontein Plantation) within Arikok National Park, a trail leads to the historic Prins Plantation, formerly owned by Mr. Mokki Arends,[8] and two neighboring arroyos, Rooi Prins and Rooi Dwars.

While the coconuts are gone, and only a few fruit trees remain, native vegetation thrives more densely than on the surrounding hills.
