8 Bedroom Luxury Estate for Sale, Great Camanoe, BVI

Available on request

The brief

The reason to consider it.

Nestled on a hillside on 10 acres of grounds on Great Camanoe — one of the British Virgin Islands’ most exclusive private islands — this extraordinary 8-bedroom estate enjoys panoramic views across the Sir Francis Drake Channel, with Marina Cay as its closest neighbour and Scrub Island just across the water.

Accessible only by boat via a communal dock, the property offers privacy and seclusion and is ideal as a private family compound, a luxury retreat, or a high-end vacation rental.

Elegant Caribbean Architecture
The estate is a celebration of traditional Caribbean architecture — rich hardwood beams, natural stone, travertine floors, and bespoke furnishings throughout. The main building and its terrace overlook a natural stone piazza, an infinity pool, and multiple outdoor dining areas shaded by tropical fruit trees. Inside, the great room makes an immediate impression: sweeping ocean views through elegant arched windows, vaulted ceilings with massive hardwood beams, and fitted furnishings that feel designed for the space rather than installed in it. The grand salon kitchen is housed in its own dedicated structure — a thoughtful nod to traditional Caribbean design — and features travertine floors, soapstone counters, custom appliances, and a commanding hardwood island.

8 Bedrooms Across Five Buildings
In total, the property offers 8 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms distributed across five buildings connected by stone pathways, piazzas, pools, koi ponds, intimate grottos, lush gardens and centuries-old trees, giving the estate a village-like quality that still feels completely cohesive. The range of spaces is impressive: from the expansive master suite — complete with hot tub, indoor and outdoor showers, and dual walk-in closets — to the charming Writer’s Cottage, which has both indoor and outdoor kitchens.

Self-Sufficient Estate
The estate is designed for off-grid capability. A solar and gravity-fed low-energy desalination plant produces a continuous supply of fresh water while keeping power consumption low — an important practical advantage on a private island. Large garages, storage facilities, and a garden nursery complete the infrastructure.

With its exclusive location, expansive grounds, panoramic views, and elegant architecture on one of the BVI’s most coveted private islands, this is a truly singular estate.
