This very secluded and easily accessible villa is not visible from the road
and is perched on the hillside above Smugglers Cove with unparalleled views
of the ocean and the coastline from all the rooms. Smugglers Cove has a
sandy beach and the reefs provide one of the most interesting places to
snorkel in St. Lucia. A championship 18 hole golf course is just minutes
away by car.
Smugglers Nest combines all the essential elements of a dream home in the
Caribbean, from its stunning architecture and finishes to its wonderful
location and its beautiful tropical landscaped gardens with a network of
footpaths that allow for leisurely strolls. You can rest for a drink in one
of the two delightful gazebos, one of which looks out over the sea, the
other one is tucked away in the garden. Or, have lunch on one of the many
terraces around the house. A full size swimming pool is nestled below the house with
views out over the ocean.
The house is designed as an open plan, so it can benefit from the cooling
tropical breeze. It is imaginatively furnished with antique Indonesian
furniture and artifacts set against a dazzling white background giving a
unique blend of the old and the sophisticated. There are two lovely airy living areas. One for lounging,
with the other serves as a TV room with cable television. The open plan dining room is adjacent to a
well appointed kitchen and a series of open patios.
The master bedroom has a king-sized bed with unusual bamboo posters draped
with a net. There are small patios off this room giving a 180 degree view of
the ocean. Complementing this bedroom is an ensuite bath room with the
privacy to enjoy 'a bath for two with a view', a separate shower and
dressing room. The second bedroom has an interesting gallery with the bedroom on a lower
level, opening on to its own large private patio. This has a double bed and
a large ensuite shower room.
A cozy study and a conveniently located bathroom completes this house.
The resident watchman/gardener lives in a gatehouse in the garden, giving renters complete privacy.
His dog roams the property at night, an added security.
