Description

A Breathtaking Tropical Retreat Overlooking Salt River Bay Welcome to your private island paradise—set on over an acre of lush, terraced hillside with panoramic 180-degree views of Salt River Bay, Columbus Landing, and St. Thomas. This captivating estate includes a 2-bedroom, 1-bath main residence, a charming studio cottage (used as a vacation rental), resort-style amenities, and expansive outdoor entertaining spaces—all nestled in a meticulously landscaped Mediterranean-style garden. Main Residence Thoughtfully designed and premium construction by renowned architects and lovingly enhanced by the current architect-owner, the main house is optimized to make the most of its extraordinary views and natural surroundings. Inside, you'll find a well-appointed galley kitchen, a full bathroom, and a spacious bedroom with exits to both the north and south patios. Travertine floors throughout offer a seamless transition between indoor comfort and outdoor beauty. Upstairs, the light-filled living room and primary bedroom feature even more jaw-dropping vistas, all styled in elegant Caribbean décor. Outdoor Living Step outside to discover a true entertainer's dream: a canopy-shaded patio, an elegant rotunda firepit for sunset cocktails, and a large dining terrace complete with a bar, chaise lounges, and high-top tables. Follow a white stone path through tropical gardens to reach the private plunge pool. Plans for an upgraded pool deck, artificial grass lounging area, and two-story pavilion are already laid out on-site, offering even more potential for personalization. Studio Cottage Perfectly situated for privacy and currently operating as a successful vacation rental, the studio cottage is a retreat of its own. Guests are welcomed via a lit, tropical tree-lined walkway leading to a tranquil setting featuring a goldfish pond with a fountain, private outdoor dining and lounging areas, and a spa-style bathroom with an outdoor shower window facing the Morning Star enclave. The cottage also includes keyless entry, a kitchenette, travertine floors, custom built-ins, upscale island-inspired furnishings, and private parking.
