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.<br \/>\nThe 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.

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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\u2019s highly exclusive Mill Reef Club.
