LIVING AREAS:
With an abundance of living and dining areas (and ocean views from nearly every space on the property), everyone will be comfortable and relaxed. Think lounging by the infinity pool, dining beneath the canopies of the pergola or sipping cocktails on the porch whilst watching yachts drifting lazily past. It's an island dream.
At the heart of the property is the Great House with large living space with both indoor and outdoor dining and living areas. Whether you choose to grab a sofa or bite to eat in either won't affect your view as all have sweeping azure vistas. A gourmet kitchen with all the conveniences you would ever need (including a 6 burner viking stove, dishwasher, warming drawer and subzero refrigerator) connects the indoor formal dining area and living room.
BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS:
1) Vine cottage is a short sunlight-filled stroll past the pool and is the large primary suite with a king-sized four poster bed looking out onto the ocean and Jost Van Dyke. The ensuite includes both indoor and outdoor showers (showering with a soundscape of birds and tree frogs never gets old). There is a kitchenette and a private veranda overlooking the glimmering ocean making it a private and self-contained suite.
2&3) Two large and airy bedrooms lie at the heart of the estate in the Great House. In one bedroom there is a four poster king-sized bed with outdoor shower, the second bedroom has the convenience of two twin beds or a king sized bed with an indoor shower. These bedrooms both open onto a porch overlooking the infinity pool and the ocean view. The bedrooms can either be opened up to enjoy the sea breeze but also come with sliding screens and air-conditioning for those important cool down periods after enjoying the Caribbean sun.
4)The 4th bedroom is another private suite downstairs of the landscaped courtyard of the property has two twin beds (can be made up as a king), an ensuite with rainfall shower and a kitchenette with refrigerator and coffee maker.
STEP OUTSIDE:
The outside dining area overlooks the infinity edge pool and is a magical place to enjoy a meal with friends. The patio area is equipped with an outdoor kitchen with both gas fired BBQ and pizza oven, as well as an Indonesian hand crafted dining table set under a shaded pergola perfect for experiencing the outstanding Caribbean sunsets.
The villa is designed around a beautiful infinity edge pool overlooking the warm clear waters of the Caribbean Sea. The pool has a deeper and shallower stepped area to allow an additional place for guests to relax and admire the view, and also to allow kids a slightly shallower area of the pool. For working off those indulgent barbecues, there is a swim current machine, which can be used for swimming laps or just for fun! If chilling is more your thing, then one of the comfy cushioned sun loungers are a great place to catch some rays. The pool can be heated, so can be used day and night, and is excellent for star gazing as the property's private location allows wonderful views of the clear Caribbean night sky.
There are spectacular ocean & island views of the North Shore of Tortola. You'll be able to spot Jost Van Dyke, Sandy Cay and Green Cay from all parts of the property. Enjoy over an acre of landscaped gardens full of colourful and fragrant Caribbean plants. Do not be surprised to see native hummingbirds enjoying their favourite firecracker plant. For the kids there are lots of places to explore both on the property, including the 'castle keep' area, and around Long Bay. For those times when you prefer a shaded and cool area, there is a lawned back garden.
