The brief

The reason to consider it.

St Peter House is an impressive five-bedroom home in an exclusive neighborhood, just moments from Gibbs and Mullins beaches, Sea Shed restaurant, Singita Wellness spa, and Haymans Market. Built in 2010 and custom-designed by its current owners, the property offers exceptional privacy without the costs of a gated community.

Designed as an eco-friendly residence, it features high ceilings that allow easterly breezes to naturally cool the space. Upon entering, guests are greeted by panoramic sea and sky views, along with generous open-plan living and dining areas.

The east side of the home includes a fully equipped kitchen, an enclosed kitchen garden, and a media room. Four en-suite bedrooms are on the ground floor, including two primary suites opening onto the pool deck and two additional suites with private balconies. The expansive pool deck provides ample space for sun loungers, a covered gazebo for outdoor dining, and stunning coastal views.

Additionally, the home features a large loft space with exceptional views, ideal for a home office or conversion into a principal suite, as well as a guest/staff apartment on the lower ground floor.

Offered fully furnished and move-in ready, the property also presents remarkable remodelling opportunities designed by renowned architect Peter Inston. One scheme transforms the loft into a spacious en-suite bedroom, the lower ground floor into a gym and spa, and adds a 1,750 sq. ft. guest cottage—all without requiring planning permission.

A more extensive remodelling plan expands the home to 15,000 sq. ft., redesigning the exterior to match the island’s finest estates. Additional land is available on the east side, increasing the total plot to 1.3 acres, with the potential for a 3- or 4-bedroom guest house with a pool, subject to planning approval.

Architectural plans and cost proposals are included, and the architect is available for custom modifications. St Peter House offers a rare combination of privacy, breathtaking views, and the flexibility to enhance or expand this already stunning home.

What people say about Barbados

Sources agree that Barbados is an expensive place to live by Caribbean standards, with the west coast (Platinum Coast, Holetown, St James) described as the priciest area and the east and inland parishes as cheaper.

  • Mixed Barbados is expensive overall; the west coast (Platinum Coast, Holetown) is the priciest area, east and inland cheaper
  • Mixed Foreigners can buy freely but should use a local attorney; Central Bank / exchange control approval and registering foreign funds are part of the process
  • Mixed Property transaction taxes: sources disagree on who pays and the rate (2.5% seller-paid transfer tax plus 1% stamp duty vs a 10% non-resident figure)
  • Concern Repatriating sale proceeds is restricted under exchange control; many non-residents use offshore holding companies
