Villa Bonheur sits about 300 feet above the sea on Saddleback Ridge in Cap Estate, with the Morne Pavillon National Trust Park right next door. That gives the house the privacy and quiet of a hilltop, with a wide view south and west over the island and out to the Caribbean. It is a traditional plantation-style home of 5,000 sq ft, built for big family gatherings, easy entertaining and, as its history shows, for holiday guests.
The House
The architecture is classic Caribbean, with generous rooms and two very large covered verandahs. All five bedrooms are air conditioned.
Upstairs, a welcoming entrance hall works as a reception area or a home office. Four bedrooms open straight onto an 80-foot south-facing covered verandah. The master suite has its own covered balcony and seating area, and the other bedrooms are private and comfortable for family and guests.
Downstairs, a 100-foot south-facing terrace carries the living space outdoors. Inside are a large main reception room, a separate air-conditioned TV room and the fifth bedroom, which has its own en-suite bathroom and opens onto the terrace. The kitchen is well equipped and leads to a covered outdoor dining area with a barbecue, so meals can be eaten outside with the view in front of you.
Pool and Gardens
A 40-foot infinity-edge pool, about 15 feet wide and 4.5 feet deep, runs alongside the ground-floor terrace and seems to merge with the coastline beyond. The shaded pool deck gives you plenty of room to lounge or host.
The gardens are mature and well established, with mango and other fruit trees, tropical flowering plants, shrubs and vines. The whole property is fenced, and a remote-controlled gate at the end of a private driveway keeps it secure.
There is also a self-contained one-bedroom caretaker’s apartment with wheelchair access. It suits a caretaker or staff member, or it can be used as extra accommodation for the household. The property has a garage and a parking area for about five vehicles, plus another space below the house. It is sold fully furnished, including fixtures and fittings, so a buyer can move in or start hosting guests without needing to equip it.
Cap Estate is one of the north’s most prized addresses. From Villa Bonheur you are close to:
Golf: two golf courses in the north of the island
Beaches and dining: Smugglers Cove and the Naked Fisherman Beach Bar & Grill
Marina and nightlife: Rodney Bay Marina, with its restaurants and waterfront scene
Resorts: The Landings and other established luxury resorts
Sightseeing: Pigeon Island National Landmark and Rodney Bay
The villa sleeps up to ten adults, which suits large families, multigenerational households and group holiday rentals. It has an established letting record and comes fully furnished, giving an investor a rental business that is ready to run. It would equally suit a buyer who wants a permanent home or an exclusive second home with space for visiting family.
