4 Bedroom Historical Home for Sale, Church Ground, Nevis

CHURCH GROUND, NEVIS – PROPERTY FOR SALE

This property is set on 5.48 acres of beautiful tropical grounds within the old Morningstar Estate where the owners of the Morning Star Plantation likely lived.

Restored in 1995 and then in 2008, the property comprises a main house plus 2 guest cottages which has been used as an artists’ retreat by the current owners.

The house opens on to a long sea-facing covered terrace which is ideal for breakfast or dinners al fresco in the shade.

GUEST COTTAGE 1

A veranda runs the length of the cottage, providing plenty of outdoor sitting space.

THE GROUNDS

The property is set in over 5 acres acres of beautiful gardens filled with orchids, fruit trees, tropical flowers and herbs which attract exotic birds and butterflies.

A separate 1 acre lot remains vacant so as not to obstruct the views from the main house but could be used to built a new structure or to add a swimming pool.
