Description
Tropical countryside haven at the south-west of St Lucia
Two acres of land and a house and gardens so large, so inviting, so welcoming, so cool, so comfortable – everything about this property just calls out: ‘Caribbean Living!’
This is an 8,800 sq ft tropical haven in River Doree at the south-west of St Lucia. Wide covered verandahs and cathedral ceilings allow this house to breathe in keeping with the best of tropical architecture: like the huge tree that spreads its arms over much of the garden, the house is cool and welcoming. Not often does a home embrace you as this one does. The kitchen is large enough that the 10-seat wooden dining table floats in space, feeling entirely well-proportioned. The house is furnished with locally produced wooden items in a post Art Deco style known as Mission or Prairie, with an emphasis on sturdy, honest materials, straight horizontal lines, an open floor plan and integration between interior and exterior space.
The main house has 6 bedrooms and bathrooms, wide covered wrap-around verandahs, and a lovely swimming pool area. The garden is brimming with grafted mango trees and other fruit-bearing plants. The balcony off the master bedroom gives glimpses of the Caribbean Sea, which is just a hop and a skip to the south, and St Lucia’s iconic Gros Piton looms to the west. At the bottom of the garden, under a huge spreading canopy of trees, is a one-bedroom, one-bathroom guest cottage.
