luxury villas with terrace for sale Virgin Gorda, Virgin Islands, British

As one travels the gentle winding drive to the stunning hilltop location among the giant granite boulders of Virgin Gorda’s Princess Quarters’ Estates right up to its highest point, over 200 feet above sea level, there’s a growing sense of wild expectation in knowing that you’ve reached the crest of the highest southwest ridge on Virgin Gorda. From the first moment one walks along the boulder-lined entryway and through the rustic French doors into the spectacular Villa Somoya foyer, one can most assuredly guarantee, that you, and just about any visitor, will have to stop and stare with mouth agape, completely enthralled and mesmerized with the awe-inspiring views in every possible direction! Of course, the view is a show stopper, but so is every architectural and visual detail of the interiors and exteriors as well. It’s simply breathtaking, from the owner’s clever use of sophisticated Caribbean collectibles and artwork to the exotic hardwoods, coral stones and Cuban tiles throughout. Outside, there are numerous varieties of tropical palm trees, with aromatic floral highlights interwoven through the colorful garden pathways and all have been artfully blended together within the abundant 2,000 sq. ft. of exterior covered and/or open air lounging zones. Dramatic natural granite bolder features have been eloquently highlighted with the use of romantic evening accent lighting to complement the panoramic sunsets, moon rises and nautical views. Left of the main foyer are dramatic wooden stairs leading around the main indoor living room up to one of the two grand master suites. The stairs are made of exotic hardwood and overlook the 20-foot high living room. Once inside the double French doors is one of the master suites, with its king-sized mahogany four poster plantation style bed. A large circular shower sits atop the tower where wonderful views of the Copper Mine and the reef below await. A private balcony offers private views of the Sir Francis Drake Channel with its ever changing colors, views and the boating activity out on the water. Even at night, the twinkling lights from distant islands mesmerize the soul. Additional features include the petrified stone wood kitchen countertops, with gourmet kitchen appliances, sophisticated fixtures and fittings, an 8ft wide roll down power screened kitchen window with pass through countertop bar, an adjacent outdoor barbecue kitchen and a covered 8- 12 person al fresco dining area, purposely designed to enhance the overall experience of Villa Somoya. The numerous architectural features blend so seamlessly together that it would take a separate novel to adequately describe them all. Each interior and exterior space has been specifically designed to satisfy the most sophisticated palate. The owner and renowned Caribbean architect James O’Halloran managed to showcase each of the rooms of this breezy 3 bedroom, 3 bath home to create an amphitheater of overviews using the manicured terraced gardens, various covered and descending uncovered multi level lounging areas, each intentionally positioned to complement one of the most awe-inspiring panoramic views in the whole of the Caribbean. Upon arrival, most guests will pause and simply stand, entranced as they try to absorb and take it all in. Large glass doors and roll back screened windows allow for some of the most picturesque views known to man. Several multilevel terraced lounging and dining decks are interwoven among carefully landscaped gardens, surrounding the large outdoor kitchen and dining areas to overlook the meandering garden paths down to the pool. Before you know it, visitors get lost in a peaceful sense of Nirvana that’s so intense they rarely choose to leave after they have checked in.
