Description

Dating back to the 18th Century, this rare original plantation house offers a unique opportunity to restore and reimagine a significant piece of Antigua’s architectural heritage. Constructed with imposing stone walls over two feet thick on the lower level and a classic timber plantation-style upper floor featuring original wood panelling and mahogany floors, the property stands on approximately three acres of elevated land benefiting from cooling breezes. The main floor comprises a magnificent 49-foot great room surrounded by verandas on three sides, a kitchen, four bedrooms, and two bathrooms, while the substantial lower floor—partly converted into a small apartment—offers further scope for accommodation. Fundamentally sound and benefiting from a new roof, the house requires renovation and updating, presenting exceptional potential as a distinctive private residence, boutique hotel, or spa retreat with room to add holiday cottages, all within easy reach of the island’s key destinations.
