Gracefully occupying more than 27 acres of land overlooking the picturesque Half Moon Bay, this magnificent private estate is ideally situated in a private area adjacent to Antigua’s highly exclusive Mill Reef Club.
Considered one of the most prestigious estates in the Caribbean, the property comprises a main residence, guest house of three bedrooms, staff house, music house and multiple outbuildings, each built in an understated style which fuses classic British-Colonial design with refined tropical elegance.
The estate’s main entrance opens to reveal lush, manicured gardens. With a grand double staircase overlooking a courtyard and reflecting pool, the main home incorporates indoor and outdoor living spaces which exude a sense of laid-back elegance and sophistication ideally suited to the surroundings.
The great room and its terrace, as well as the lavish double master suite, enjoy spectacular views of Half Moon Bay and the gardens of the property, while the library/guest room overlooks the reflecting pool, providing a quiet retreat. Opening onto another waterfront terrace, the dining room leads on to a lovely orchid nursery. A wine cellar is located below the kitchen and opens on to a seating area with access to the pool and the garden.
The property also includes a substantial pool, pool house with changing rooms and kitchen, two greenhouses, vegetable gardens and a citrus orchard.
The spacious grounds gently slope toward the bay, providing direct access to one of the most secluded and stunning white sand beaches in the Caribbean and the warm, turquoise-hued sea.
Custom designed to capture the tropical trade winds which blow across the island, the house needs no air conditioning. The structure was constructed of local stone quarried on the property, and the foot-thick walls give it the look and feel of a beautifully maintained 250-year-old plantation home. A functioning water catchment facility, cisterns, and various administrative outbuildings support the residence.
