The brief

The reason to consider it.

Located on the ridge above Long Bay Beach and a short drive to Smugglers Cove, this villa offers commanding and enviable views out to Jost Van Dyke and the USVI. Currently used as a successful vacation rental property and for those who want some extra space, it can be purchased with its sister property, The Stone House next door.

This unique villa is arranged around the infinity pool and terrace with Polynesian style shingle roof offering shade and cooler air. The main house has an open plan kitchen and formal dining room which leads to an additional BBQ terrace with outside dining. A spiral staircase takes you to 2 ensuite guest bedrooms. The master bedroom suite is located in separate cottage offering extra privacy. While the main house is tiled, the master suite has fabulous hardwood floors.

In addition, there is a library set up with comfortable sofas and armchairs for cosy nights inside during the colder winter months.

Interior design is a marriage between antiques and bold colours with Caribbean flair. Plenty of characterful details and country cottage style windows.

  • Mixed Rental use is now built into licences but a trade licence is still required
