A Complex Overlooking the Caribbean on Antigua

$4.25 MILLION

This three-and-a-half-acre property sits on an 80-foot bluff overlooking Nonsuch Bay, on the east coast of the Caribbean island of Antigua.

The property includes a three-bedroom, three-bathroom villa; a one-bedroom, two-bathroom guest cottage; a swimming pool; a garden; and a private boat dock.

The 3,500-square-foot main house was built about 30 years ago on a peninsula that once was part of an 84-acre plantation, said Hilton Ramseyer, an owner of the property. Now part of the gated Emerald Cove development, the house was constructed of solid concrete, which helps it weather storms.

From a roadside gate, a walking path of Antiguan stone winds past flowering hibiscus to a vaulted portico with exposed beams shading the front entrance. Beyond the arched doorway is a large living room with a vaulted ceiling and exposed beams. Windows have a mirrored treatment, to deflect heat. Floors throughout are handmade white-ceramic tiles from Sardinia.
