The brief

The reason to consider it.

Nestled in the green hills of Castle Bruce in Saint David Parish, this 10-bedroom boutique hotel sits on 3 acres of lush tropical grounds, offering a rare opportunity to revive a cherished hospitality establishment or create an extraordinary private estate.

Perched 250 feet above the Atlantic coastline, the property commands sweeping ocean vistas across mature gardens that cascade down to the Richmond River. Just 40 minutes from Douglas-Charles airport, this privileged location perfectly balances accessibility with natural seclusion.

Over its 14-year history as a boutique hotel, the property earned excellent TripAdvisor ratings while hosting journalists, travel writers, and discerning guests from around the world.

The main structure, completed in June 2003, exemplifies traditional Caribbean plantation house design with its robust steel frame construction that has maintained its structural integrity even through Hurricane Maria in 2017. Within, six thoughtfully designed guest rooms each feature private showers and ocean-facing balconies. The authentic Caribbean atmosphere flows throughout, with soaring ceilings, classic jalousie shutters, and wraparound verandas. Common areas include an inviting lounge, library, upper-level bar, dining room, and an outdoor dining terrace perfectly positioned to capture the cooling Atlantic breezes.

Complementing the main house, an undamaged poolside cottage contains two additional guest rooms with private showers, while a separate garden cottage provides an intimate private suite.

With its versatile layout, the property presents multiple exciting possibilities – whether continuing its legacy as an intimate hotel or transforming it into a magnificent private residence complete with staff quarters and guest accommodations.

This exceptional property combines solid architectural foundations with unlimited potential. Whether reimagined as a boutique hotel or transformed into a private estate, its prime location, proven history, and spectacular setting make it an outstanding investment.
