Why this property will seduce you

  • Exclusive Sheltered Cove: Direct water access with private dock and lift.
  • Classic Caribbean Architecture: Exposed beams, terracotta tiles, covered veranda.
With the Spanish Water on two sides and a private dock with boat lift on a sheltered cove, this Jan Sofat villa offers a way of life centered on the water. The home stands on a 591 m² freehold lot, complemented by an additional 50 m² freehold strip running down to the water at the front, for a total of 641 m². Built in 1990 in a classic Caribbean style, it offers four bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms and two levels of living, including an independent guest suite.
The Spanish Water is one of Curaçao’s best-known boating areas, a broad, protected inland bay on the island’s southeast coast with a navigable channel to the Caribbean Sea. Steady trade winds keep the shoreline pleasantly cool.
The approach is framed by a white picket fence, flowering bougainvillea and a gated entrance. A patterned tile forecourt leads to a central staircase and up to a deep covered veranda with white crossbuck railings and terracotta floors. Raised above the street, the veranda takes in the lagoon and the Tafelberg beyond.
Behind a red front door, the main living level opens beneath vaulted ceilings of exposed white timber trusses. French doors and paned windows bring light into the living and dining areas, and terracotta tile flows throughout, linking the interior with the surrounding terraces. A guest powder room completes this level.
The kitchen pairs aqua cabinetry and brass hardware with dark countertops, a gas cooktop, a built-in oven and microwave, a side-by-side refrigerator and a breakfast bar. A pass-through window opens directly onto the veranda, so serving outdoors is effortless.
On the water side, a second terrace extends from the living level. Paved in terracotta and edged with white railings and planters, it has space for an outdoor dining table and sun loungers, shaded by mature sea grape and coconut palms. From here the outlook moves across the cove to the boats moored along the neighboring waterfront homes.
A white spiral staircase descends to the bedroom level, where three bedrooms are each cooled by split air-conditioning units. The principal bedroom has an adjoining bathroom with a double vanity, generous mirrored storage and a glass-enclosed shower. Additional bedrooms and bathrooms accommodate family and guests comfortably, while a dedicated workspace makes working from home practical.
Practical features include two enclosed garage bays beneath the veranda, accessible from inside the house and each accommodating one car, a separate laundry room and additional storage, including a dedicated room for boating equipment added in 2005.
The independent guest suite, with the fourth bedroom, has its own exterior entrance. It comprises a living room with seating area and a kitchenette with breakfast counter, a spacious bedroom and a bathroom, with French doors opening to a balcony overlooking the cove. Exposed beams and terracotta tile carry the character of the main house. The arrangement offers real flexibility for rental use or for extended family, visiting friends and long-staying guests.
From the garden, stairs descend between sea grape hedges and palms to the waterline. The private 8.5-meter wooden dock, with about 1.5 meters of water depth and a boat lift rated at 1,600 kg (approx. 3,500 lbs), gives direct access to the Spanish Water and, through its channel, to the open sea.
Jan Sofat is an established residential neighborhood on the lagoon, known for its waterfront homes and private docks. Jan Sofat Marina is less than five minutes away, the nearest beaches are about ten minutes away, and Willemstad is roughly fifteen minutes by car.
