Full Description


The property sits in 3 acres of landscaped perfection - it houses the largest personal palm collection in the whole of the Caribbean, over 160 varieties, lovingly collected from all over the world by the previous owner.

It also has an abundance of fruit trees including lime, lemon, 2 x types of banana, avocado, Pomegranate, mango, orange and breadfruit and a plethora of flowering and fragrant shrubs.

The property has been lovingly restored, with no expense spared or detail overlooked by the current owners and the gardens have been extremely well maintained and restocked.

The spectacular 38 x 20 feet swimming pool is the latest addition and has just been completed. It is edged in Nevisian hand cut stone and has a wonderful sun deck on two sides for lounging in the sun. It is surrounded by a bounty of colourful flowering shrubs in a range of reds, pinks and oranges and is the perfect escape for an afternoon of relaxed indulgence.

The property is fully fenced and has over 300 feet of restored stacked dry stone walls.

GARDENERS COTTAGE
The Gardeners Cottage was originally built to provide accommodation in the grounds for a resident caretaker.
