The brief

The reason to consider it.

Architect-designed and owned by the same family since the early 1970s, this traditional Caribbean-style home was the island’s first of its kind. Inspired by Danish plantation great houses, the single-level, ground-floor layout offers open-air living.

Entry through a garden gate leads to a covered living and dining pavilion of hand-laid stone, cooled by island trade winds. An adjoining tiled patio and landscaped garden of native trees and flowers create a peaceful private setting. The kitchen features a pass-through to the main living area, ideal for entertaining.

Two air-conditioned bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms are separated by the great room for privacy. A third air-conditioned bedroom adjoins the primary suite and opens to a secluded patio with hot tub and pool patio.

What people say about US Virgin Islands

Sources agree that the US Virgin Islands is simple to enter for Americans, since it is US territory, but costly to run once there.

  • Concern WAPA electricity is expensive and outages are routine; backup power is treated as standard
  • Concern Insurance is a hard market: higher premiums, large percentage windstorm deductibles, trouble for wood-frame homes; flood is separate
  • Mixed Closings are attorney-led, take longer than on the mainland, and need a USVI-licensed lender; surveys matter on irregular hillside lots
  • Mixed Condo costs are driven by windstorm insurance; check reserves and master policy before buying
