BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS (June 19, 2019) – Scrub Island Resort, Spa & Marina, a AAA Four Diamond resort in the British Virgin Islands, has teamed up with the area’s leading real estate brokers, Coldwell Banker BVI, to offer five new luxury villas for purchase. With expansive views of the Caribbean’s turquoise waters and surrounding islands, these five private villa estates range from two to six bedrooms and offer between 3,000 and more than 6,000 square feet of luxurious space.
“When Scrub Island asked us to join their team and assist in their real estate efforts after the hurricane in 2017, it was an easy decision to make,” said Chris Smith, Managing Broker at Coldwell Banker BVI. “The Scrub Island team has restored a beautiful and unique setting we’re very proud to represent and we look forward to showcasing some of these select properties for purchase.”
Perched atop one of the highest points on Scrub Island, the grandest villa in the collection is The Spinnaker House. Listed for $5 million, this lavish six-bedroom, six-bath estate features stunning southward Caribbean views across the channel to Marina Cay and Tortola. Brushed by the steady breeze of the trade winds, The Drake House is a four-bedroom, four-bathroom villa on the southern tip of the island. With breathtaking views of Sir Francis Drake Channel, Marina Cay and Tortola, The Drake House will be ready for occupancy in July and is listed for $4.5 million. The other villa in the four-bedroom collection, The Reef House, is listed for $4 million and overlooks one of the largest reefs of Scrub Island, providing a shimmering palette of blues.
For a more intimate retreat, buyers can choose between two exceptional three-bedroom villas – The Shoreline House and The Leeward House. One of the island’s most secluded villas, The Leeward House offers a bird’s-eye view of North Beach during the day and fantastic stargazing by night. The Leeward House is offered at $3.6 million and will make its debut later in 2019. Boasting close proximity to the water’s edge and the award-winning Ixora Spa, The Shoreline House will also be unveiled later in 2019 and is priced at $3.5 million.
Each luxury villa features large balconies and terraces as well as Subzero and Wolf appliances, enclosed rain showers and infinity-edge or plunge pools. Hirsch Bedner Associates designed the interiors of the Hillside Villas with dark woods and light walls to convey a British West Indies inspiration. The villas also feature local artwork, custom furnishings, king-size beds with luxury linens, bamboo ceiling fans and flat panel televisions. Large sliding windows and doors when fully open invite the balmy trade winds and display unobstructed views. Each bathroom is grand in size and splendor, with natural stone flooring, granite-top twin-vanity, rainforest showerhead, water closet and a soaking tub. Exteriors of each villa, designed by architectural design firm OBMI, speak to a British Colonial-style with distinct touches of Caribbean in a village-inspired setting.
Two-bedroom Marina Village condominiums and vacant lots are also available for purchase on Scrub Island. For more information on Scrub Island Resort, Spa & Marina, call +1 (284) 340 3000 or visit https://oldsite.coldwellbankerbvi.com/scrubisland.
