3A-13 Estate Zootenvaal, Saint John, VI 00830

Heaven’s Gate sits alone, high atop a hill, surrounded by Virgin Islands National park lands, with sweeping, unobstructed 180 degree views of Hurricane Hole and open ocean dotted with small islands and cays, including Leduck Island, Peter Island, and Tortola. This mountaintop retreat affords complete peace and privacy and is close to world-class snorkeling at Haulover Bay just below. It is also close to Brown Bay Trail, one of St. John’s best hiking destinations. This trail connects with the Johnny Horn Trail, which takes you to the Annaberg Sugar Plantation Ruins. The villa is a well-appointed off-grid retreat featuring four Tesla Powerwalls and a solar array. The home includes a private sparkling pool with built-in seating, a gourmet kitchen, a large comfortably furnished great room, and both upper and lower level covered terraces framing the breathtaking views. And it is all surrounded by beautiful gardens and extensive tropical landscaping. The property sits on over an acre of private land. Its hilltop location facing east provides direct exposure to the cooling winds, unlike many other properties that remain hot with little to no breeze. You may open the French doors to enjoy the natural cooling of the Caribbean trade winds while you relax. Deeded access to the beautiful waters of Hurricane Hole make this property an even more wonderful asset. The Coral Bay area and East End of St. John has a very special atmosphere. It is much more peaceful and private than crowded Cruz Bay. There are several great restaurants in the area. The central proximity to the North shore, South shore, and East End beaches is a huge plus. You will see right away why the New York Times rated Coral Bay as the fourth best destination in the world to visit in 2016.
