Contemporary interiors abound offering a bespoke style of modern design blended with an external Caribbean flair, with gorgeous south-west views over the 16th fairway to the Caribbean Sea.

The entrance to the house has been created with a unique wooden, welcome bridge over moving water that features illuminated jet streams leading into large open plan indoor spaces that flow seamlessly from room to room. The kitchen features modern under-counter appliances built into European counter high cupboards nestled behind a large, stone waterfall island.

The indoor living spaces open onto a large undercover terrace that features both a "wet" bar and an" alfresco" cook station, located at opposite ends to each other, perfectly framing the large infinity edge swimming pool, ideally positioned to overlook the golf course and sea beyond. Steps either side of the pool lead down to a substantial sun deck. 1 of the guest bedroom suites can be found on this main level and is easily accessed via the main entry courtyard.

An illuminated, wood featured staircase leads to the first floor where the remaining 3 en-suite guest bedrooms are situated as well as the large master suite located in the top left-hand corner of the property to take full advantage of the south-west view. All the bedrooms are fully fitted with tall European style built in closets, complemented with clean and contemporary styled bathrooms.

Externally, the property features a purpose-built carport for 2 cars, a gated entrance and fully landscaped floodlit gardens.

The villa also comes with planning permission for a sizeable 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom guest cottage that can be constructed at a later date, should the need arise.

Seduced, available fully furnished (turnkey), complete and ready for immediate occupation from late October.

This price is inclusive of the membership sign-up fee for Royal Westmoreland Golf course and facilities.
