Tucked away in the rolling countryside of St. John, just beyond Four Cross Roads, this remarkable estate offers a rare opportunity to step into a piece of Barbados’ living history while enjoying the comforts and conveniences of modern-day living. Set across approximately 11.5 acres of beautifully maintained grounds, the property is being offered as two adjoining parcels that together create an extraordinary private estate. Approaching the Great House, one is immediately transported to a bygone era. Majestic coral stone walls, mature trees, and expansive grounds tell the story of generations past, while the stately residence stands as a testament to Barbados’ rich architectural heritage. Built during the island’s sugar plantation period, the home captures the elegance and craftsmanship that defined Caribbean Great Houses, with soaring ceilings, gracious proportions, and an atmosphere of timeless sophistication. Lovingly maintained over the years, the estate seamlessly blends old-world Caribbean charm with thoughtful modern upgrades. Significant electrical and plumbing improvements have been completed, ensuring the home meets contemporary standards while preserving its historic integrity. This rare balance allows owners to enjoy the character and authenticity of a heritage residence without sacrificing comfort or functionality. The Great House & Grounds – Approximately 3.5 Acres At the heart of the estate sits the impressive two-storey, six-bedroom coral stone Great House, surrounded by approximately 3.5 acres of lush landscaped grounds. The residence offers expansive reception rooms and inviting living spaces designed for both family life and elegant entertaining. Each of the six bedrooms is air-conditioned, while the basement level has also been climate controlled, adding further versatility to the home. Throughout the property, original architectural details serve as reminders of its storied past, creating a sense of warmth and authenticity that cannot be replicated. Beyond the residence, a large swimming pool and entertainment terrace provide the perfect setting for gatherings with family and friends. Nearby, a tennis court adds to the recreational appeal of the estate, while a multi-car garage, nursery wing, and several ancillary structures contribute to the property’s practicality and flexibility. An additional highlight is the former garage, thoughtfully converted into a self-contained two-bedroom apartment, ideal for guests, extended family, staff accommodation, or rental income potential. Estate Buildings & Land – Approximately 8 Acres Complementing the Great House is an additional eight-acre parcel that expands the estate’s possibilities considerably. Here, you’ll find a collection of traditional estate buildings including the Manager’s House, barn, workshop, stable block, horse paddock, and tennis court. Constructed of rubble stone and coral, the two-storey Manager’s House presents an exciting opportunity for restoration or modernization, while retaining the authentic character of a historic estate building.
