The Castle is a secluded hideaway on a windswept mountaintop bordering the Virgin Islands National Park. This Caribbean home also enjoys one of the most extraordinary seascapes on St. John in the USVI.
True privacy... The Castle is the only property on a private, gated road. Neither neighbor nor tourist can disturb your tranquility.
Artistic refinement... lovingly created over eight years by the designers, the structure itself is art, as well as a vehicle for art... relics in the walls... fine mosaics... a sculptured Japanese garden.
More breezy, cool, and bug-free... because of our altitude, the windward orientation, and other factors, The Castle is far more comfortable than most homes or hotels.
A mythical, spiritual atmosphere... bas-reliefs of gods in the parapets, romantic balconies and courtyards, The Castle is a place for dreams to fly amidst rainbows and shooting stars.
The structure is entirely of stone... hand-hewn by master masons from St Lucia and Nevis. The Castle walls are not only grand and intricate, they also keep you cool by day and warm by night.
Two very separate bedrooms, queen and full, each with adjoining half baths. Besides the fully-equipped, modern kitchen and mahogany great room, there is a tiled outdoor shower, expansive decks, an observatory sundeck on the fifth level, and a whirlpool spa nestled in a tropical garden.
There is a gas outdoor grill, CD and cassette stereos, TV and VCR, beach umbrella, mats, towels, chairs, as well as native drums, hammocks, and a telescope.
Ceilings, furniture, and cabinetry are custom made of cyprus and mahoganies with a feeling of casual elegance. This unusual decor is accented by a Zen garden, local paintings, masks, crafts, and statuary.
Close by are the least crowded of the Park's famous beaches. Even on this quiet side of the island, there is a full water sports center, and several shops, clubs, and restaurants, all within a few minutes drive.
The Castle is not only unique, it is a place of inspiration. We invite you for a magical rendezvous.
