Platinum Coast Barbados A historic hillside retreat built in the 1700s the story of this Plantation is woven into Barbados’s history. The former residence of UK Governor lay in ruins until it was rediscovered in 2000 and lovingly restored to create a luxurious and comfortable family home with swimming pool and tropical gardens. this Plantation covers 195 acres of prime land and has uninterrupted, panoramic views across cane fields and wooded gullies towards the Caribbean sea, which is only 10 minutes’ drive away. Nestling among 30 acres of verdant gardens and manicured lawns the main house, carriage house and mill have been restored with meticulous attention to detail to create a spacious private house and great cottage that can comfortably accommodate fourteen people plus housekeeping staff. The buildings are constructed from coral stone excavated from the on-site quarry, which is now a lush secret garden. Painstaking care has been taken to combine original features with contemporary fittings. The property is luxuriously finished with artwork by Caribbean artists, bespoke Persian rugs, and West Indian plantation style furniture imported from Europe and America. Coconut, banana, papaya and breadfruit trees are dotted around the grounds and a historic bearded fig overhangs the quarry garden. A mature orchard of avocado, mango and guava is shared with the colony of green monkeys that visit the estate, and a monkey themed family room has been specially designed in their honour. Fully storm proof and self sufficient, the plantation house has its own generator and water supply. Designs exist for further development of the remaining out-buildings and more. ONE UNIQUE VISION, THREE STUNNING PROPERTIES, SET IN TROPICAL TRANQUILITY COMBINE THE BEST OF BARBADOS This historic Barbadian Plantation house has been restored to maintain the architectural integrity of the original house with the necessary finishes for modern comforts and luxuries.
