The brief

The reason to consider it.

This expansive Northside estate spans 8 acres and offers breathtaking Buck Island Sea views, alongside remnants of historic ruins.

The estate comprises a spacious 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom Main House, furnished with antiques, and includes a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment. It features a heated pool and hot tub on a large two-level deck, and is equipped with solar power (net metered) and a generator, as well as a working well.

Additionally, there is a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom Carriage House with a 4-car garage, and a separate 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom Cottage.

A tree-lined driveway leads to parking for over 15 vehicles. The property is being sold AS IS and has been under the same ownership for the past thirty years.

Nestled just below Blue Mountain, the Beard of Paradise Estate is set within the lush and verdant Little Fountain and Mon Bijou landscape. Upon arrival via the concrete driveway, stone pillars and an electric gate mark the formal entrance. The paver driveway is adorned with palm trees, Norfolk pines, and large agave plants. Beautifully landscaped ruins await opposite the Main House. Ample parking is available on the upper deck, bordered by a stone wall. Two frangipani and lily gardens are home to South American Red Footed Tortoises, roaming within a stone wall gallery styled after the ruins and capped with Danish brick.

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
