The combination of Villa Zara’s European classical theme, antebellum style and Caribbean influence fit perfectly within the Cayman Islands real estate market to create an original and stunning piece of architecture. This 6,000 square foot villa sits on one acre of lush lawns and indigenous tropical landscaping, overlooking the reef protected ocean and pristine white sands of Rum Point, Grand Cayman home to some of the finest luxury beach front properties in the Cayman Islands.
Enjoying Cayman’s ultimate seaside address, this beautiful house is very private but not isolated. Designed by Chalmers Gibbs Martin Joseph, Villa Zara exudes a sense of pride and presence for all to appreciate. The gated drive is flanked by a guest 2 bedroom cottage and two car garage, leading up to the main house and past the brilliantly flowering bougainvillea. Above all, the floor plan for this 4BR/4.5BA house was designed to enhance the beautiful views offered by the sea from each room, thus creating something truly special. On entering the grand foyer you are met with elegance and grace, reminiscent of a time gone by. An imposing double staircase with wrought iron balustrades leads to the private guest suites situated on the second floor.
To the left of the great living room and dining area is the executive chef’s kitchen fully fit with Clive Christian solid wood cabinets, stainless steel sinks and appliances and picturesque views of the Caribbean Sea. When entering the bright and airy master bedroom, one is immediately drawn to the spacious balcony overlooking the gardens, patio, pool and beach. A walk in closet and large en-suite bathroom complete the effect. All of the bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms in Villa Zara have a unique design and are fitted with antique or reproduction French fixtures.
The marble floors continue into each bathroom with marble walls adding further luxurious effect. Two of the four bathrooms feature elaborate claw foot tubs, while the master bedroom’s en-suite bathroom is the most striking as it features a large Jacuzzi tub with walk in shower, both overlooking the sea, pool and patio. The vast patio, spacious lounging area and two gazebos flank the raised hot tub and infinity pool. The mosaic marlin at the bottom of the pool is a playful reminder of fun, sun and relaxation just a few of the lifestyle options to be enjoyed whilst at the luxury home that is Villa Zara.
