luxury real estate for sale Virgin Islands, British (page 2)

Never have I come across such breathtaking views as those often witnessed from morning, noon and/or night, throughout the year, at Stargazer on Privateer’s Bay Estates, Great Camanoe. Anyone can easily become awestruck and distracted drifting away from the world’s concerns and madness, as they gaze out over the glorious sunrises and ever-changing pallets of sunset or simply staring up at the endless galaxies, planets and stars on a cloudless night. Various covered lounging areas and open-air dining decks surround this newly renovated spacious home. 7 foot high by 10-20 foot wide sliding glass doors maximize the multi-island views found on 3 of the 4 sides of the main living, dining and lounging great-room. This remarkable getaway and meandering retreat consists of three private and equally spaced master suites. Two bedrooms are located in the main building structure and the third getaway guest house stands all on its own about 20 feet from the circular stone path entrance with only a few steps, making it convenient for the young and old alike. This glorious slice of heaven offers a serene retreat with Atlantic Ocean views looking northeast toward several of the islands of North Sound including Necker, Eustatia, Prickly Pear and the Dog Islands. The deep blue horizon continues to stretch westward past VGorda, Fallen Jerusalem, Round Rock, Ginger, Cooper, Peter, Norman, Beef Island, Tortola, including St Croix, St John and Guana Island. The never-ending horizon with constantly changing scenery is a true respite as one sits and enjoys watching various yachts and vessels weave or chart their course through the 60 plus island archipelago. Stargazer was originally built by Fred Whipple, the famous American astronomer (1906·2004) who chose this particular gentle bluff location due to it’s gentle hilltop bluff location which never disappointed delivering absolutely breathtaking ever changing panoramic views. The new roof over the main living was rebuilt and strengthened after Hurricane Irma and now stands as a fortress boasting cathedral ceilings of heavy 3x8 and 3x10 pressure treated pine rafters and beams with wind and water shield waterproofing topped with and galvalume corrugated metal roofing. The structures are designed to withstand the most inclement weathering storms. Natural local stone walls were used throughout as a decorating face stone placed against reinforced concrete and steel structural columns. The house was re-engineered to allow for the majestic views to remain seen through heavy-duty hurricane resistant glass doors and windows. Insulated roofing and ceiling fans in the main living room makes you think the house is air-conditioned, since the cooling trade winds are ever-present. The adventurous outer island living offers both peace and solitude, and yet Stargazer is only a short ride down the hill and a 5-15 minute boat ride to the mainland shops, airport, ferry terminal, restaurants which are conveniently located at Beef Island. Marina Cay and/or Scrub Island. Most owners keep a small panga or power boat on a trailer in the communal boat storage area near the Privateer’s leasehold dock and a mechanic from the mainland can be employed and can readily be available to help launch upon the owner’s request when coming or leaving the island. A communal library, book exchange and message center, with small restroom and large covered lounging area can be found on the small bluff adjacent to the communal dock and beach. It’s surprising how easy it is to get from Beef Island Airport and back home again to one’s private island retreat within only a 15-20 minute boat excursion. Retired sailors and/or adventurous young boaters find life on Camanoe a most rewarding lifestyle. Parents tend to pass their properties down continually through the decades. Several families and visitors comment on how they treasure the memories of the quiet escape, away from the world’s madness.

High in the hills overlooking Road Town and the southern cays of the British Virgin Islands, there is a palatial home that evokes the grandeur of another time. Set on 1.5 acres, Palazzo del Sol boasts four stories, numerous balconies, staff quarters, a two-car garage, and an indoor pool. This is only the beginning of what could be a virtual palace or boutique hotel upon completion, with its marbled grand entrance, numerous chandeliers, double master suites with walk-in wardrobe rooms, personal hair salon, fitness room, and lush gardens. This home can described as statuesque with 13,500 square feet of interior living spaces and multi-levels of solid concrete construction designed to withstand all weather conditions. Oversized double doors open into a chandeliered foyer and a large open living area with ornately tiled floors and statuesque columns throughout. The dining areas, living rooms and entertainment rooms are all arranged around the three-story atrium with a winding stairway that services the two main floors. The kitchen area is vast and waiting for appliances, cabinets and countertops to be installed. There is a large pantry with a two-door garage and an office. Custom imported furnishings are included in the purchase price. The Main Floor level boasts one of two master suites which consist of a large bedroom, grand bathroom with both shower and jacuzzi tub, a large walk-in closet, and an additional office complete with exterior door access. The dimensions of the room sizes can best be described as palatial with its 16-foot ceilings and wrap-around viewing balconies.The Upper Floor hosts a Second Master Suite which has been fully finished, with a cosmetics makeup room, hair salon, and electric fireplace. A tiled promenade shares the atrium with the floor below which leads westward to two additional bedrooms, each with en suite bathrooms. A winding stair leads upward to a viewing lookout with small service rooms that could easily be converted into a bar for entertaining while taking in the never-ending views. The ground floor, below the main Floor, maintains the grandeur of the other two floors but with a focus on fitness and entertainment. It could host a full-sized kitchen, bar with pool table, large media room, and several additional storage areas. There is already an indoor lap pool with creative tile finishes. If a gym/fitness room is desired, there remains plenty of interior space for such. On this level there is a large outdoor area which could be created into a large outdoor BBQ area with meandering flower gardens. This additional downstairs area was originally planned to be used as a wedding and catering venue but could also convert to an independent apartment separated from the rest of the house. A home as grand as this may wish to have full-time staff in place in either the studio efficiency apartment or have extended family and guests stay in the full-size one-bedroom apartment complete with their own kitchen, exterior entrance and separate driveway with parking. This lovely manor home is being sold without being completely finished. Remaining to be completed are the main kitchens, the tiling of the main master suite, the installation of the elevator and equipping the entertainment rooms below, thus allowing for a complete redesign from the original intent, or conversion of the whole structure into a grand boutique hotel with guest rooms and or large apartment complex.

As one travels the gentle winding drive to the stunning hilltop location among the giant granite boulders of Virgin Gorda’s Princess Quarters’ Estates right up to its highest point, over 200 feet above sea level, there’s a growing sense of wild expectation in knowing that you’ve reached the crest of the highest southwest ridge on Virgin Gorda. From the first moment one walks along the boulder-lined entryway and through the rustic French doors into the spectacular Villa Somoya foyer, one can most assuredly guarantee, that you, and just about any visitor, will have to stop and stare with mouth agape, completely enthralled and mesmerized with the awe-inspiring views in every possible direction! Of course, the view is a show stopper, but so is every architectural and visual detail of the interiors and exteriors as well. It’s simply breathtaking, from the owner’s clever use of sophisticated Caribbean collectibles and artwork to the exotic hardwoods, coral stones and Cuban tiles throughout. Outside, there are numerous varieties of tropical palm trees, with aromatic floral highlights interwoven through the colorful garden pathways and all have been artfully blended together within the abundant 2,000 sq. ft. of exterior covered and/or open air lounging zones. Dramatic natural granite bolder features have been eloquently highlighted with the use of romantic evening accent lighting to complement the panoramic sunsets, moon rises and nautical views. Left of the main foyer are dramatic wooden stairs leading around the main indoor living room up to one of the two grand master suites. The stairs are made of exotic hardwood and overlook the 20-foot high living room. Once inside the double French doors is one of the master suites, with its king-sized mahogany four poster plantation style bed. A large circular shower sits atop the tower where wonderful views of the Copper Mine and the reef below await. A private balcony offers private views of the Sir Francis Drake Channel with its ever changing colors, views and the boating activity out on the water. Even at night, the twinkling lights from distant islands mesmerize the soul. Additional features include the petrified stone wood kitchen countertops, with gourmet kitchen appliances, sophisticated fixtures and fittings, an 8ft wide roll down power screened kitchen window with pass through countertop bar, an adjacent outdoor barbecue kitchen and a covered 8- 12 person al fresco dining area, purposely designed to enhance the overall experience of Villa Somoya. The numerous architectural features blend so seamlessly together that it would take a separate novel to adequately describe them all. Each interior and exterior space has been specifically designed to satisfy the most sophisticated palate. The owner and renowned Caribbean architect James O’Halloran managed to showcase each of the rooms of this breezy 3 bedroom, 3 bath home to create an amphitheater of overviews using the manicured terraced gardens, various covered and descending uncovered multi level lounging areas, each intentionally positioned to complement one of the most awe-inspiring panoramic views in the whole of the Caribbean. Upon arrival, most guests will pause and simply stand, entranced as they try to absorb and take it all in. Large glass doors and roll back screened windows allow for some of the most picturesque views known to man. Several multilevel terraced lounging and dining decks are interwoven among carefully landscaped gardens, surrounding the large outdoor kitchen and dining areas to overlook the meandering garden paths down to the pool. Before you know it, visitors get lost in a peaceful sense of Nirvana that’s so intense they rarely choose to leave after they have checked in.

A great deal of attention has been given to each and every design concept and structural feature. and because it was so well-built and continually well-maintained, that one would never guess it’s age of 20 years. Those of us who have lived on an island for any length of time will appreciate the value of such a functional home with superior structural integrity, built to stand against wind, salt air and geological shifts. My personal wish list for a perfect Caribbean retreat would include many of the built-in features this particular home.

We asked the owner of this home what they loved most about their home and here was their heartwarming answer. “We chose this location for our home, because being a surfer, Cane Break Surf House has a commanding view over the best surf break in the entire Caribbean. We can sit on our breezy quiet deck and watch the surf and the various sail boats coming and going from Cane Garden Bay. There is always something to look at from the mesmerizing curling waves on the point or the boats coming and going in the calm anchorage. We also have colorful and mature landscaping with coconut, frangipani, and banana trees and even a wading bird observation point below. Cane Garden and the nearby Brewers remain to be two of the most beautiful swimming and snorkeling beaches in the BVI. Cane offers several of our favorite bars/restaurants within easy walking distance. In the evenings, we love to just sit on our breezy balcony and watch the spectacular sunsets as the evening stars and the lights of the distant island of St. Thomas appear on the horizon. A short 40-minute ferry ride or car ride will soon deliver us to direct flights to the US. The private road leading to our driveway is located within a small estate neighborhood that is quiet and secluded. We feel so blessed to have found this small slice of paradise and have truly enjoyed being here.” Their heartwarming thoughts were so well put together that we had to include and just add the following overall general description. The house was originally designed to have 2 bedrooms and one bathroom main house with a separate storage and laundry room below. The current owners added a work room and apartment below complete with one bath and kitchen, which still needs cabinetry and appliances to complete. There are large opening doors toward the bay that have both roll down and wooden hurricane shutters throughout. 2 bedroom 1 bath upper main house w/ 1 bedroom 1 bath apartment private estate home Walking access to marina and beaches located above one of the top surf breaks in Caribbean Hurricane shutters throughout 17,000 cistern capacity 0.635 acre Generator Duro Max XP 5500 push start runs the whole house including pump paved drive and parking Banana and coconut trees

Perched in a very private spot on Big Scrub Island in the British Virgin Islands, Wali Nikiti is a truly inspired and inspirational Villa. At Wali Nikiti indoor and outdoor living are one and the same. The owners relied on innovative materials and artistic flourish to create their one-of-a-kind, open-air house. Cocooned in foliage from Broom Palms and Turpentine trees, Wali Nikiti is a tranquil haven set in two acres of land spilling down to the Atlantic Ocean. The two-bedroom main house was completed in 2010. There are plans for five, very private cottages to be built around the main house. All five cottages are designed to have outdoor showers using the natural boulders and vegetation to afford privacy. Leaf-canopied steps form the approach to the main entrance porch where two hardwood, Yourola tree trunks feature as columns. A 5’ x 8’ door made of panels of Purple Heart and Kabukalli pivots open on a fulcrum to reveal the upper living level of Wali Nikiti. Constructed of concrete and hardwood throughout, an impressive 50-foot circumference hardwood beam and synthetic-thatch roof caps the house. The roof withstood everything Hurricane’s Irma and Maria could throw at it and came out intact! In fact damage to the home really was minimal and what little there was has largely been repaired. The house, with pigment colored concrete floors, is designed in different levels to form an organic and appealing view from within: Each level delineates the areas of the house. The heart of Wali Nikiti is the custom designed kitchen specifically built to demonstrate, instruct, and invite guest participation in the art of cooking. The culinary hub features a center island with a professional stove, a wood burning oven and a country fireplace for creating wood grilled dishes. A shallow 5’ Carrara marble sink runs along the back wall. Meals can be served in the covered dining area or in the al fresco eating area, just across from the 20’ x 10’ pool and wooden deck area. Descending a few steps down from the kitchen area you come into the living area, which faces out to the north. The view is as far as you can see to the Atlantic Ocean, where during the wintertime you may spot breaching whales. The large built-in concrete couch, covered in comfortable pillows to create an area of relaxation and tranquility. Stepping down from the living area, you enter the cozy media room with low slung, built-in seating. To the right of the living area is the dining area, enclosed by a low wall so as not to block the view towards the sea. Adjoining is the swimming pool, 3 feet higher than the dining room floor, where a cascade of water flows, creating a soothing sound of running water. A large dining table that can accommodate 12 people dominates the dining area. The entire house is designed in natural earth tones with hardwood featured as the dominant building material. Ethnic objects d’art feature as the decorative element. On the lower sleeping level, lattice wooden shutters allow a constant natural breeze to circulate in the two, fan-cooled double guest rooms. Each bedroom has a private outside shower. The rooms can be accessed from the upper level from two stairways. Unusual detailing throughout Wali Nikiti combines to create a unique living space: From a counter top embedded with segments of fiber-optic lit colored glass to the suspended tree limbs sporting vine-held lights to the 14’ solid slab of ironwood dining table to the earth-tone pigmented concrete floors on staggered levels, to the gentle waterfall that cascades into the dining area, Wali Nikiti is anything but predictable and ordinary.
