Elegance in the heart of the Caribbean

Gorgeous villa offers sweeping views of sea and mountains. Only home within the romantic 500-acre St. Lucia Estates plantation, a tract filled with historic sites, rain forest, flora and fauna. Private beach. Located conveniently between Castries and Soufriere; only 10 minutes to Marigot Bay or 5 to tikaye village. Superb staff prepares meals, daily laundry and maid service, and is trained in Swedish massage. Each room of Brigand Hill offers sweeping views of the mountainous rain forest to the east, the Caribbean Sea to the West or the plantation floor below.

The late George Poindexter built the original villa in 1964. The present owners, guests at the St Lucia vacation house since the early Seventies, bought the property and completely rebuilt from a new design (by J.Andrew Carr, of Essex, Ct) on the old footings, adding a second floor master suite, enlarged caretaker's quarters and many other features. The main St Lucia house includes three bedrooms, each with private bath, the dining and living rooms and kitchen, and a two-bedroom cabana, with shared bathroom. Privacy is assured regardless of where you are in the villa.

The bathrooms feature stunning tile mosaics of the St. Lucian parrot, St. Lucian whip-tailed lizard and the leatherback turtle. All rooms feature overhead fans and Jalousie windows and doors that are designed to open up each room, encouraging the constant, gentle trade winds to flow through the house unimpeded.

Tastefully decorated with furniture crafted on the Island, complemented by imported fabrics and 450-count linens, three bedrooms have queen beds; the other two feature twin beds.
