Steele Point Estate
We are truly delighted to present this outstanding property which offers the benefits of private island living seamlessly blended with accessibility and community. This eight-acre waterfront estate occupies the most western peninsular on Tortola and is surrounded by aqua blue seas and many of the smaller islands that make up the beautiful BVI archipelago. With easy access from the United States and Europe this is one of the premier properties in the Caribbean and it is available for acquisition for the first time in over twenty years. With two docks and a helipad arriving without intrusion could not be easier.
The estate provides complete privacy and seclusion, yet Tortola’s gourmet restaurants, bars and white sandy beaches are just a short drive away. As a family retreat there are very few properties that offer the freedom and tranquility of Steele Point Estate.
There are four luxurious villas. Each home offers contemporary and innovative interiors, high end finishes and floorplans that works for multi-generational families and holiday makers alike. Each property has a pool and is completely private and independent, yet they are connected by garden pathways bordered with Hibiscus and Olander and a gentle paved road which runs across the ridge of the peninsular. The current owners have made the property available for rentals when they are not in occupancy and the estate attracts VIP and repeat guests and has an established track record of successful income generation. The estate also has a number of undeveloped lots that could accommodate additional villas if desired.
The Villas:
Steele Point
Named after the peninsula upon which it rests, Steele Point Villa is an architectural masterpiece. Designed by Michael Helm this is a truly visionary and iconic home. Multiple pods resting and built into the cliff-face give this property the feeling of being aboard a majestic ocean liner. Overlooking the ocean and the shoreline below there are 360-degree views of the surrounding scenery from multiple decks and vantage points. This unique property has recently been fully renovated and upgraded to an exceptional standard and offers five air-conditioned bedroom suites which share the central living and dining areas.
From the parking area there are beautiful stone walls and winding walkways with flowering bougainvillea and palms on either side that lead to the property. Overlooking the ocean and neighbouring islands is the pool and wooden sun deck. Stone stairs on the right lead to the first of five ensuite bedrooms. This standalone pod is nestled amongst the boulders and trees. With floor to ceiling glass walls which celebrate the vast ocean and sky views this a wonderful and romantic escape.
The main house with its elegant stone courtyard leads to the open plan kitchen, dining and living area. This air-conditioned space is contemporary and stylish and large windows and glass sliding doors open up to three decks offering panoramic and breathtaking views. Built into the stones outside is an outdoor kitchen and BBQ area and there are multiple seating areas in the rock face to enjoy the views and reflect on what matters. Adjoining this space is an ensuite bedroom suite.
A further three bedrooms are in a separate structure which dramatically embraces the cliffs. This has three levels, a bedroom with ensuite and private decks are on each, linked by an open staircase. The lower bedroom is just above sea level. A stone walkway leads to sun loungers, a swim platform and the docks.
A collection of fine art and original sculptures adorn the interiors and the grounds making this a truly unique and transformation space. The sunsets from this peninsular are breathtaking and it is difficult to imagine a more perfect combination of island living and stylish and elegant natural opulence.
The Treehouse
This a magical retreat on the brow of the peninsular and it is built amongst the trees and the boulders. The Treehouse showcases one of the most stunning panoramas that Tortola has to offer. A stone staircase leads to the beautiful and richly colored wooden stairs. The great room with high vaulted ceilings, fully equipped kitchen, a bedroom, outdoor bath, and wraparound deck are located on the upper level. The lower level offers a privately-accessed bedroom suite, indoor bath, and wraparound deck, along with a private pool. With its grand doors that open to inviting ocean breezes and its beautiful views of the unspoilt and rugged north shore, this West Indies-style villa exemplifies the feeling of freedom and invigoration that you get from being in the Caribbean.
