A Breathtaking Tropical Retreat Overlooking Salt River BayWelcome to your private island paradise--set on over an acre of lush, terraced hillside with panoramic 180-degree views of Salt River Bay, Columbus Landing, and St. Thomas. This captivating estate includes a 2-bedroom, 1-bath main residence, a charming studio cottage (used as a vacation rental), resort-style amenities, and expansive outdoor entertaining spaces--all nestled in a meticulously landscaped Mediterranean-style garden. Main Residence Thoughtfully designed and premium construction by renowned architects and lovingly enhanced by the current architect-owner, the main house is optimized to make the most of its extraordinary views and natural surroundings. Inside, you'll find a well-appointed galley kitchen, a full bathroom, and a spacious bedroom with exits to both the north and south patios. Travertine floors throughout offer a seamless transition between indoor comfort and outdoor beauty. Upstairs, the light-filled living room and primary bedroom feature even more jaw-dropping vistas, all styled in elegant Caribbean décor.
