A Home for Sale in Tortola, BVI Ideal for Year round Living

Rarely does one find a better positioned home, specifically designed for year round living, than this immaculate gem, which is centrally located overlooking a popular full service marina and only a short 10 to 20 minutes drive to several white sandy beaches which include Smugglers, Long Bay, Apple Bay, Cane Garden Bay and Brewers Bay.

The property rests on a flat knoll above Pleasant Valley, across from Nanny Cay Marina on Tortola which is the BVI capital Island. With its hilltop location, this idyllic 3 bedroom home enjoys panoramic views and continual Northeast to Southwest breezes. The house has been handsomely crafted by the current owners to easily pass any structural engineer’s evaluation and gets top scores by those who like to live year-round in the BVI or frequently travel while keeping a home there.

The current original home owners rented for several years before choosing this pragmatic and central location. They used the help of a well-known local Caribbean architect, Paul Whattley, who carefully created their own island paradise. A great deal of attention has been given to each and every design concept and structural feature and, because it was so well-built and continually well-maintained, one would never guess its age of 20 years.

A Well Constructed Home

Anyone who has lived on an island for any length of time will appreciate the value of such a functional home with superior structural integrity, built to stand against wind, salt air and geological shifts.

The property includes built-in features such as poured solid concrete foundations with steel reinforced concrete columns tying down heavy wooden beams and rafters, PGT glass windows with either manual or electric roll-down shutters, hinged locking wooden shutters that are easily closed or opened by any single resident, neutral off-white tiled floors, numerous additional storage rooms, solar heated water, strategically placed hot tub for romantic star gazing, large covered outside entertaining patios, and lush tropical gardens with walking paths, a gated and fenced perimeter, hilltop breezes and well engineered to last for many centuries.

This 3 bedroom home offers 2 large bedrooms with 2 full baths on the main level floor and a totally independent spacious and charming one bedroom, one bathroom self sufficient apartment below. The main floor is entered using only a few steps from the large parking lot at the back and is designed to be a single level dwelling which could suit the handicapped or elderly. The lower apartment can be entered from its own parking on the south side which also uses only a few steps to enter. Both independent living spaces offer a full kitchen, spacious living room, walk-through closets, large bedrooms which are designed to suit king-sized beds, and very high cathedral ceilings on the main floor above of pressure treated pine or pickled tongue in groove or concrete ceilings with a height of 10 feet below.

Botanical Gardens

This retreat offers a sturdy sliding electric gate at the entrance leading to the large turnaround driveway, aromatic botanical gardens surround the property with stone lined and terraced pathways that lead to several mature fruit trees such as bananas, lime, olive, cherry and guava.

Hot Tub

The hot tub offers a relaxing therapeutic respite and is often used on clear starlit nights and wisely placed on the leeward side of the deck. This reduces the cost of maintaining and heating a large pool and an ideal solution for any retired couple who wish to travel abroad for part of the year and a perfect solution for those who wish to quickly closeup and go without having to hire anyone to maintain such.
