The brief

The reason to consider it.

4-bedroom house set into the hillside on approximately 1 acre in Apple Bay, Tortola, British Virgin Islands, with sweeping 270-degree ocean views over Apple Bay, Long Bay and the outer islands. The property was completely rebuilt following the 2017 storms.

The master suite includes an en suite bathroom and an outdoor shower that overlooks the surf break. Three guest bedrooms each have en suite bathrooms and high ceilings; there are five decks and abundant indoor/outdoor living space.

Beneath the main house is a fully equipped studio apartment with separate access, providing strong rental potential. The house is about a two-minute walk to Apple Bay village and a short walk to Long Bay and Smuggler’s Beach; the West End ferry terminal is approximately a ten-minute drive.
