Set on approximately 5.5 acres of exquisitely landscaped grounds, this remarkable private estate is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Barbadian history fused with timeless design and modern luxury. Located just east of the prestigious Sandy Lane Estate and overlooking the famed Green Monkey Golf Course, the property boasts panoramic sea views and unmatched privacy.

At the heart of the estate is the original plantation house, famously redesigned in the 1970s by legendary theatre set designer Oliver Messel. This Palladian-style masterpiece has been thoughtfully restored and expanded under the guidance of renowned Barbadian architect Michael Gomes. Today, the estate offers a total of up to 7 en suite bedrooms spread across the main house and four charming guest cottages—each blending classic Barbadian design with modern comfort.

The main residence showcases Messel’s signature style, featuring a grand formal sitting room that opens into relaxed living and dining areas, all framing the lush gardens and ocean beyond. The expansive primary suite includes a private terrace, direct access to the pool, and a luxurious bathroom with an outdoor tropical shower garden. Additional spaces include a second bedroom or media room, a private office with garden views, and a sleek, modern kitchen.

Outdoors, the estate continues to impress. The large swimming pool and sun terrace overlook a stunning Messel-designed 'folly'—a romantic coral stone ruin set beside a tranquil fish pond. Scattered throughout the grounds are four standalone cottages, perfect for guests or extended family, each echoing the island’s architectural charm.

Adding to its uniqueness, the estate includes a professionally laid cricket pitch and pavilion, currently enjoyed by a well-known Cricket Academy, making it an extraordinary property for sports and leisure.

Supporting facilities include a laundry and staff quarters, a separate gardener’s cottage, and a two-car garage.

This is a legacy estate that offers architectural distinction, expansive grounds, and an elevated lifestyle—just minutes from Barbados’ Platinum Coast. Ideal as a private residence, luxury retreat, or investment with heritage appeal.
