house is surrounded on all sides by shaded verandahs, with a

Beautifully positioned overlooking Hope Bay and set in near
10 acres of exclusive woodland estate. The indigenous forest
sweeping around the property provides a secluded aspect with
an almost unique access to the idyllic Hope Bay Beach
beneath.
The villas, designed by the renowned international architect
Jack Beyer of New York firm Beyer Blinder Belle, stand out on
the island as magnificent examples, combining natural
equatorial materials and building methods with a combination
of sophisticated international design and classic West Indian
style. The houses have been built using a combination of local
stone cut from Hope Estate, Brazilian hardwoods and Brazilian
kiln dried Ipe.
A large water tank facility means water shortage is not an
issue, and there is also a small staff house located in the
grounds. Vehicle access is available via the private Hope
Estate Road.
There is also additional land on the point available from Hope
Estate, to the North and North East of Plenty Wind.
The Main House
The central open plan living area, paved with antique Spanish
terracotta, finished in local stone and Brazilian hardwoods has
a high paneled ceiling and wide louvered wooden sliding doors
offering panoramic views to Mustique and the uninhabited
islands of Baliceaux and Battowia. All the walls are made from
stone cut from the Hope Estate and all the rafters, studs,
louvres and windows are engineered and fabricated in Brazil
from kiln dried ipe.
The main open plan living space offers access to a variety of
outdoor dinning areas… There is a wooden deck, which seems
to float above the sea, for dining under the stars while
listening to the waves roll into hope beach. On the front side
of the house there is a stone patio dining area overlooking a
lush terraced garden of tropical plants rising up the hill along
side the fountain and pool. This beautiful area attracts
Hummingbirds and Bananaquits by the fragrance of the
tropical flowers and cool refreshing sound of the fountain.
The separate master bedroom cottage, reached by a short
stone path through tropical gardens, sleeps 2 and boasts an
antiquated hardwood four-poster bed and Brazilian kiln dried
Ipe flooring. The interior bath has two sinks, custom hand
painted tile counter and marble floor. The bedroom opens on
the ocean side to a wooden deck, wonderful for sleeping under
the tropical night skies or relaxing in the shade of the
verandah roof, and on the other side to a private sumptuous
walled garden overhung with flowering tropical vines and an
antique French porcelain bathtub with claw and ball feet
standing on the local rounded pebble floor. The opportunity to
take a deep, relaxing bath under the star studded Bequian sky
is another fantastic feature of this stunning property.
As you enter the cottage hallway there is a separate room on
the ocean side which can be used as a dressing room, artists
studio, or guest room for a visiting child or single guest.
The architect designed space uses the elevated position, high
ceilings, wrap around verandahs and local trade winds to
naturally air-condition the living and sleeping spaces.
