This
luxurious villa is located at the end of
a private lane on over 1300 m2 of land.
Facing NNW, the front property line is
defined by the waves crashing over the
rocks below. Designed by renowned French
architect Pierre Monsaingeon, the villa
was custom built solely for our personal
use and has only recently been placed on
the rental market. Constructed in
typical West Indies Style, the villa
features a generous Master Suite with a
large private bath. The Guest Suite is
equally impressive, again with private
bath. In the main house a vaulted
breezeway provides a breathtaking
entrance for your guests as they look
over the infinity edge pool, across the
sapphire waters to the neighboring
island of St. Maarten. Arriving yachts
frequently sail past providing a
picturesque backdrop to delightful
terrace entertaining.Step up into the
Salon, a relaxing, exquisitely furnished
respite. From the silk divan to the fine
Italian inlaid wood furnishings, it is
apparent no expense was spared in
decorating this jewel. Across the
vaulted breezeway, the yacht - inspired
kitchen beckons. Hand built cabinetry of
exotic tropical hardwoods surround you.
Black granite countertops twinkle with
gold accents. View the garden through
the large, authentic, ship's portholes
while preparing for your luncheon.
Appliances are top - notch and include a
Sub-Zero refrigerator with dual freezer
drawers and filtered ice maker, a deep
cast iron Kohler sink with a Grohe
pull-out faucet and separate filtered
drinking water tap, Viking gas range,
Fisher-Paykel drawer dishwasher, and GE
microwave - convection oven. Enjoy
breakfast overlooking the ocean at a
custom designed bistro table featuring a
cut-stone image of St. Barthelemy
resting on a carved whale's tale.
Comfortable Philippe Starck yacht chairs
allow you to forget time and enjoy life.
The
terrace continues the aquatic theme with
oversize octagonal tiles accented with
fossil fish deco's. You will
marvel over the Venetian glass pool and
enjoy the custom Mexican glass mosaic
scene gracing the pool bottom while
frolicking sea turtles "swim" along the
wading basin. The terrace powder room
features a Duravit closet and a marble
hand basin mounted on a Mahogany
pyramid, the only one of its kind.
All details were painstakingly chosen
for stunning visual effect with the
utmost care taken to select durable,
beautiful appointments, furnishings and
construction components. This villa was
designed and built to provide joyful,
care-free living for years to come. As
the massive automatic wooden gate rolls
open, drive into the beautifully
landscaped parking courtyard. You'll
immediately be impressed by the stunning
tropical gardens with exotic palms,
flowering hibiscus and bougainvillea. As
you walk down the tiled staircase to the
main entry, take time to admire the
oversized hand built double doors. As
you enter, nothing can prepare you for
sight awaiting you. Your eyes will be
drawn straight ahead, across the Italian
tiled terrace, the Infinity edge pool,
the sparkling blue waters to the nearby
island of St. Maarten.
As you enter the air-conditioned Master
Suite, notice the quality of the custom
sliding doors. Draw the custom drapes or
leave them open to enjoy the direct
ocean
view. A view that can NEVER be blocked
because your land is bounded by the
ocean. Settle into the king-size bed and
notice the furnishings are unlike any
others found on the island. A beautiful,
art-inspired divan serves as the perfect
accent to the ornate bedding and crystal
chandelier. In tribute to our modern
era, the master suite features a 42"
plasma TV and high speed internet
connection.
Argentinean
tiles lead you into the generous master
bath with its extremely large walk-in
shower (dual shower heads, tile seat and
a personal shower), large double vanity,
spacious closets and a separate dressing
table. You become one with nature as you
shower, watching through the huge tile
surrounded window as waves crash onto
the rocks below. Paradise Found. A few
steps below the main terrace you'll find
the separate terrace entrance to the
Guest Suite. This suite is also served
by a private garden entrance. You will enjoy
your stay on a king
size, four poster bed in traditional
island Mahogany style with coordinating
nightstands and armoire. The armoire
serves as an entertainment center with
TV and stereo. Generous closets line the
hall to the bath, again with a walk-in
shower, two vanities and a view over the
palm gardens with the ocean providing a
picturesque backdrop complete the suite. |
