The brief

The reason to consider it.

Perched at an elevation of 660 feet on the exclusive, gated roads of Washington Hill, this exquisite estate epitomizes timeless craftsmanship and offers unparalleled ocean views, encompassing Frederiksted pier, Puerto Rico, Vieques, and Culebra.

Designed by the esteemed George Hascup, former Director of Design at Cornell University’s School of Architecture, this remarkable residence was constructed between 1997 and 2000. It features a robust exterior of poured, steel-reinforced concrete and elegant cement block interiors, all set upon over 8 expansive hilltop acres. Every element of woodwork, from the grand four-poster beds to the gracefully arched windows and doors, is crafted from luxurious mahogany, culminating in a breathtaking mahogany cathedral ceiling.

The exquisite millwork and treated metal finishes were all installed by Walsh Metal Works.

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
