Serenity enjoys panoramic views of the Platinum coast of Barbados from its enviable position on one of the most exclusive ridges in Barbados. The property is beautifully landscaped with water features such as the elegant fountain and koi pond which graces the entrance.
This Barbados Luxury Villa is a six-bedroom villa that sets the standards for private villas in Barbados, encompassing 13,500 sq. ft. of covered space and designed to maximize the views in an opulent style that is hard to surpass. The stately great room is stunning and generously scaled, with soaring ceilings. Its open layout allows the cooling breezes in, while floor-to-ceiling pocket doors slide away to reveal panoramic views over the countryside, the Royal Westmoreland golf course, and out to sea. From the great room one can also enjoy the view of the property’s stunning free-form swimming pool with cascading waterfall infinity edges and a swim-up bar.
Just off the great room is the kitchen – a true epicure’s delight featuring top flight amenities including a double oven, pantry, thick marble work surfaces, oversized double fridges/freezers/ dishwashers, custom cabinetry and a marble-topped island – perfect for sharing informal moments with friends. Floor-to-ceiling windows let natural light in and frame views of the countryside to the east. The formal dining room, accessible via the kitchen, features hand-laid herringbone wood floors, custom made wine cellar storage, high ceilings and sea views.
This outstanding home expertly marries physical beauty with smart functionality and was built with state of the art security and efficient upkeep in mind. The composite concrete shingle-style roof, built to Dade County standards, provides full hurricane protection, as do the impact and weatherproof exterior doors. A silent, integrated air-conditioning system provides cool comfort throughout. Control temperature, ceiling fans, lighting and audio in each room via laptop, iPhone or switch. The building’s water supply is specially filtered to provide optimal quality, as well as to ensure the longevity of all appliances, equipment and piping. In the event of a power cut, all security, lighting and amenities are instantly restored by a diesel-powered generator.
This masterfully designed sanctuary encompasses every detail required for fine living, including an elegant wood-panelled library and office, two wine cellars, a fully equipped gym and games room, plus a state-of-the-art cinema with 15-ft. screen, surround sound and luxurious armchair seating. A guest cottage, finished to the same exacting standards as the main residence, provides additional accommodation. Facilities include a commercial laundry area, staff baths and living quarters, designated staff and guest parking, covered space for up to 8 vehicles, and a separate garage for a golf buggy. All levels have stairwell and elevator access.
Superb security features provide complete privacy and peace of mind – the eastern edge of the property is bordered by a natural gully, enhanced by walls and railings, while razor wire fencing hidden by extensive landscaping secures the north and south borders. Strategically placed, non-intrusive cameras with DVR backup recordings further enhance the security. Serenity comes fully furnished and completely turnkey, inclusive of all fixtures, fittings and furnishings. Private viewings are available upon request.
