This former 18th century sugar plantation property consists of three and a quarter acres of beautiful mature gardens, 3 residential buildings plus, the historic Great House - in need of restoration, but not a lost cause. The estate and its houses have been restored by the current and previous owners. The foundations are strong and the carriage house and two cottages are comfortable homes to the owners and guests. The Carriage House The carriage house has accomodation on both levels. The house is currently set up as two separate living spaces, each with dining areas and kitchens. The lower level has a one bedroom, sitting room plus open kitchen dining room and a lovely private, shaded verandah, just off the kicthen, to enjoy that cuppa and a good book while the breeze gently cools you. The upper level, accessed by an exterior staircase, has 2 bedrooms and bathrooms with a large living room and a verandah which runs the width of the house. Hard wood floors and traditional west indian plantation style throughout. Cottage One Fully restored and surprisingly spacious, the stone walls keep the cottage cool even in the heat of the day. There are two bedrooms and a living - dining room, plus kitchen and one bathroom. The garden of the cottage has beautiful tropical foliage and plants, private and quiet yet just steps away from the other two properties. Cottage Two Entirely renovated, this one bedroom cottage has plenty of storage , its own living room and kitchen. Enter the cottage through the garden and enter into your own little private space. The cottages are currently rented. The 3 1/4 acres of grounds are landscaped in true tropical plantation style. The grounds are tended by a gardener and contain many fruit trees and well as beautiful flowers, palms and lush foliage. The Great House- Renovation Project The historic plantation great house is in need of restoration. However, an extensive survey was carried out 18 months ago to determine the feasability of restoring the house and the annex buildings which housed laundries, a kitchen, pantries and workshops. Whilst it is a large project, it would certainly be rewarding and would open up the potential for the property to become a venue for events, both local and for weddings. There is a walled garden in front of the Great House which would be perfect for afternoon teas or evening cocktails. The swimming pool is in good condition and was renovated recently. It has been drained but would need minimal upgrading to become fully functional. The terracing around the pool is in good condition and offers a beautiful view from the pool deck over the valley and out towards the Caribbean sea.
