The brief

The reason to consider it.

A rare walled historic estate with harbor views located in the heart of Christiansted offering a distinctly European, walkable lifestyle, just steps from the boardwalk, dining, galleries, and shops.

Anchored by a five bedroom, four bathroom main residence showcasing classic Danish West Indian architecture, the estate also includes a separate one bedroom, one bathroom 18th-century guest cottage and multiple parcels that offer exceptional flexibility and development potential. Enclosed by tall masonry walls and centered around a lush tropical courtyard and pool, the property provides a high level of privacy and tranquility for a historic offering.

Distinctive features include reclaimed ship timbers used as structural floor joists, ballast-brick staircases, five French doors encircling the living room, a signature Captain’s Watch, a tiled front porch with classic rocking chairs, and an expansive veranda overlooking the harbor. Recently refinished living room floors and split-system air conditioning enhance everyday comfort while preserving the home’s historic character. A poolside tool/workroom with plumbing offers the opportunity to create an additional guest suite. The estate also includes two garages and valuable off-street parking.

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
