Description

Set high in the rolling countryside of St. Joseph, just five minutes from the iconic surf and dramatic coastline of Bathsheba and approximately fifteen minutes from Barbados' renowned West Coast beaches, Chimborazo Great House is one of the island's most distinctive historic estates. Rising 1,171 feet above sea level, it is reputed to be the highest plantation property in Barbados, offering sweeping, uninterrupted views across the lush interior and the rugged eastern coastline beyond.

Dating back to the 1700s, the Great House is a striking example of classic Barbadian colonial architecture. The main residence features three bedrooms and three bathrooms, all beautifully proportioned and rich in character. Original coral stone walls, wide wooden floors, grand shuttered windows, intricate trim details, and elegant window seats reflect the home's heritage, while tasteful antique and contemporary furnishings add warmth and refinement.

The Great House includes a gracious living and dining room, family room, library and study, and a modern, well-appointed kitchen, seamlessly blending historic charm with modern comfort. All bedrooms are equipped with ceiling fans and enjoy generous natural light and garden or countryside outlooks.

Complementing the main house is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage, ideal for guests, extended family, or staff accommodation.

Set on 8.25 acres of meticulously maintained grounds, the estate is a private sanctuary of manicured gardens, open pasture, and an established orchard. Multiple outdoor entertaining areas invite relaxed island living-perfect for afternoon picnics, elegant dinner parties, sunset cocktails, or quiet moments with a book.

Elevated among the treetops is the estate's free-form swimming pool, expansive sun deck, and wraparound terrace, offering a breathtaking vantage point over the countryside and beyond. A standout feature is the impressive 90-foot deck, ideal for hosting or simply soaking in the serene surroundings.

Chimborazo Great House is more than a home-it is a rare piece of Barbadian history, offering privacy, scale, and timeless elegance in one of the island's most scenic locations.
