Villa Maarib Family Home In A Tropical Rainforest Setting

Situated in highly desirable district of Shannon, a lush and verdant estate on the North shore of Tortola, Villa Maarib has sensational views of Jost Van Dyke and is conveniently located within 10 minutes drive of Cane Garden Bay, Nanny Cay and Road Town. This wonderful family home, framed by tropical rainforest, offers 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, a flex room and beautiful open plan living room & kitchen opening onto a covered poolside dining deck.

With hardwood floors throughout, the main house is designed with indoor/outdoor living in mind. All the rooms have arched hacienda style doors opening out to the terraces, landscaped gardens and ocean views beyond. The main house is arranged over 2 floors, with the master bedroom suite and open plan living room at entry level. The living room opens up on 3 sides, inviting in an abundance of natural light and a cooling breeze. A grand staircase leads down to 2 further bedrooms (one of which is ensuite), 2 bathrooms, a flex room which could be used as an additional bedroom, office, or kids playroom and a spacious laundry room and foyer. Master bedroom and bedroom 2 both benefit from walk in wardrobes. The upper level of the property has vaulted, wooden beamed ceilings which could be refinished to create a visually striking design feature.

The galley style kitchen is fully equipped and includes a wet bar to provide seamless cocktail service to the adjoining outside dining area. Plenty of space outside to set up a barbecue or create an outside kitchen. The large infinity pool is framed by a stone pergola, which could be transformed with some flowering vines. Beyond the pool is standalone guest bedroom suite which undoubtedly will have a waiting list for family and friends seeking a Caribbean escape.

While the property would benefit from a little face lift (wouldn’t we all?!), Villa Maarib is structurally sound, making this a very easy purchase for anyone looking for a home in the BVI. The property is being sold unfurnished, but includes all appliances and an automatic generator. The property has been used as a family retreat and as a long term rental property. Access to the property is paved.
