St Thomas, Barbados

An exceptional estate comprising a large main house and four further cottages.

This rare and distinctive private estate is located just east of the prestigious Sandy Lane Estate, set on approximately 5.5 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds with sweeping sea views across the renowned Green Monkey golf course.

At the heart of the estate is the original plantation house, masterfully reimagined in the 1970s by acclaimed theatre and architectural designer Oliver Messel. The current owners have meticulously renovated and fully restored the residence, with renovations overseen by Michael Gomes. Their work has preserved the elegance of Messel's Palladian style while introducing contemporary comfort and a collection of new buildings.

The estate now offers up to seven en suite bedrooms, including several charming guest cottages. Each is thoughtfully integrated into the lush tropical gardens and designed with authentic Barbadian character.

The main house features a formal sitting room that flows into an inviting informal living and dining space, all oriented to capture the garden and sea views. The expansive principal suite features a private terrace with direct access to the swimming pool and a luxurious bathroom that opens to a tropical outdoor shower room. Additional spaces in the main house include a second bedroom or media room, a study, and a modern, well-appointed kitchen.

Outdoors, the large pool and surrounding terrace are framed by a coral stone ruin and fish pond designed by Messel. The lower field of the property, maintained to professional standards, is generously made available by the owners to a well-known cricket academy and includes a cricket pitch and pavilion.

Additional amenities include four separate guest cottages, a staff and laundry building, a gardener's cottage, and a two-car garage.
