Die atemberaubende und einzigartige Natur des Ridge bedeutete, dass es fast fünf Jahre dauerte, bis er fertiggestellt war. Bei der sensationellen Konstruktion wurden keine Kosten gescheut, bei der viele der aus der ganzen Welt importierten Merkmale, darunter der gesamte italienische Marmor, der Herzstückbrunnen sowie die Statuen des Innenhofs, importiert wurden. Diese Liebe zum Detail bedeutete, dass sogar ein internationaler Künstler aus Großbritannien eingeflogen wurde, um die spektakuläre Kuppel zu bemalen, wenn Sie das Haupthaus betreten. Dieses palastartige Anwesen befindet sich auf 2,68 Hektar Land und bietet 11 Schlafzimmer; es gibt 5 im Haupthaus, 4 im charmanten „Chattel House“ und 2 im Cottage.

Der Ridge kann mit verschiedenen Immobilien mit Zugang zum Strand verbunden werden und bietet das Beste aus luxuriösem Leben auf dem Land und am Strand. Die Schatzkammer der Inhalte innerhalb des Anwesens wurde in den letzten zehn Jahren mit vielen der besonderen und einzigartigen Gegenstände gekonnt ausgewählt eine starke Verbindung zur Karibik haben. Zu den Highlights gehören außergewöhnlich seltene Film-Erinnerungsstücke wie Charlie Chaplins persönlicher Stock und eine sehr seltene Sammlung von Vintage-Filmplakaten, darunter ein Original für einen der wenigen Hollywood-Filme, die auf Barbados, Island in the Sun (1957) mit Harry Belafonte und Joan Collins gedreht wurden. Es gibt außergewöhnlich seltene Möbelstücke der Designer Carlo Bugatti und Viscount Linley sowie unglaublich seltene Skizzen des Künstlers und Designers Oliver Messel, der viele der berühmtesten Häuser von Barbados entworfen hat.

Gemälde signiert und geschaffen von Lord of the Dance-Star Michael Flatley, der Farbe auf seine Steppschuhe legte und auf der Leinwand tanzte!
