 ocated above the quiet fishing village of Carrot Bay, Lone Palm is a seven-minute drive to Long Bay and Cane Garden Bay - the best beaches on Tortola - and even less to the great little beach at Apple Bay, home of the Sugar Mill, or Capoons Bay, home of the Bomba Shack and the best surfing on the Island.
This recently completed, architect-designed residence lies a short, steep ascent to about 400 feet, which affords extraordinary views of Jost Van Dyke, Sandy Cay, and West to St. Thomas. After a day on the water, exploring Nature’s Little Secrets, or on the beach, retire to this cooler, drier, quieter elevation still within sight and sound of the surf. The main living area is comprised of a great room, including a large, fully equipped kitchen with island, dining area, buffet and bar, and a large family area. Also on the first floor are two master bedrooms, each with en suite baths and truly lovely ocean views, and a third bedroom with garden view and full bath. The house is surrounded on three sides by a wide verandah, nicely accessible from all the bedrooms and the great room. The large front porch leads to the parking areas, the lower level suite, and the outdoor, hot/cold shower. Breakfast, lunch and dinner can be served inside at the island (seats 4) or on the verandah (seats 10 at two teak tables). Or on more formal occasions in the dining area (seats 8). Our rather extensive entertaining suggest no more suitable or interesting floor plan. We put a Caribbean Steel Pan Band on the ocean verandah for dancing, and there is ample room for circulating, or for privacy. Take your morning coffee on the verandah amidst the soft tropical breeze with a wide-sweeping view of one of the Caribbean’s most spectacular island profiles, dotted with sailboats of all sizes. A private downstairs suite with separate outside entrance includes bedroom, full bath, kitchenette, and outstanding views. Formerly rich, terraced farmland growing banana, yams, sugar cane and tapia, the property is now abundant with banana, plus some papaya, and other fruit trees. The stone-walled front access is professionally landscaped with tropical flowers and palms, and outdoor lighting enhances the natural beauty after sundown. Ample parking for you and your guests. |
