Description:
Chateau Margot is a magnificent gated estate situated on 4-1/2 acres nestled in the hillside of cool Bordeaux Mountain. Located 1,000 feet above the quaint town of Coral Bay with breathtaking views of Tortola, Norman Island, Virgin Gorda and several other British Virgin Islands along the Sir Francis Drake Channel, this estate is ideal for one, two or three families.
This spacious luxury estate consists of 3 masonry buildings connected by wooden walkways and native stone paths. The interior living space is 6,165 square feet and the exterior decking is 2,300 square feet for a total of 8,465 sq.ft. The main level of the 3-story great house contains the living, dining and kitchen areas. The master bedroom/bath and 2 guest bedrooms with shared bath are on the upper level. Overlooking the main house is a detached guesthouse with a 1-bedroom 1 bath suite, while a 2-story guesthouse with 2 bedrooms/2baths is beside the main house.
Take a dip in the 14' X 28' infinity edge pool - 4' deep in the shallow end with stairs for entry into the depths of 13'. A solar blanket is available for keeping the temperature mild. The tiled sun deck is equipped with 6 chaise lounges and sitting chairs placed around faux stone-top tables, can be arranged in many directions to capture the sun. For toddlers, a nylon mesh barrier around the pool area may be installed for your family by advance request, as well as safety netting for deck + balcony railings is available by advance request; $150 for installation.
The Great Room features two oversize sofas made from golden sea grass as well as two large chairs for additional seating to relax and enjoy the spectacular down island view or watching TV from the 36" big screen. The entertainment center is complete with remote control BOSE Wave Stereo, CD, Cassette Player and DVD. A video and cd collection are included for your enjoyment along with several board games and binoculars.
Two walls of 8ft screened sliding glass doors afford excellent views and open from the living room to the sun deck and pool. Stroll out one of the sliders to pass a small stone lily pond that leads to the office which includes a late model Dell Computer with internet access, printer, copier, scanner, phone, fax and lots of desk space for the guest who just can't leave the office behind. Wireless DSL is also available. Adjacent is a half bath which houses the washer and 2 dryers.
A stately mahogany dining table sits in front of a floor-to-celing native stone wall. Mahogany chairs provide seating for 14. The modern gourmet kitchen is well equipped for preparing meals for large or small groups. A state-of-the-art kitchen-aid flat surface cook-top sits on a large dark-wood center island. All new kitchen-aid appliances, including a convection oven, microwave, dishwasher, and side-by-side refrigerator are handsomely enclosed in pale, creamy cabinetry. Also included is a large pantry with additional refrigerator/freezer, toaster oven, coffee grinder, coffeemakers as well as a gas barbecue grill.
The lovely screened garden dining area featuring great breezes and majestic views of two forested mountains reaching down to the sea, makes dining at the four-seat bistro wicker table an exhilarating treat.
The garden entrance opens into the luxurious master bath. Open, airy and light, the vast size of this room is overwhelming. A 13-foot handmade granite-topped vanity, with double sinks, bronzed lighting, bronzed fixtures and a 10-foot mirror are perfectly built into a sidewall. Across, an alcove, with picture window views to the lily pond and Guest House, contains a platform Jacuzzi tub and a separate granite-topped vanity with mirror, drawers and a round padded stool.
Off to the side, behind a privacy enclosure, there is a toilet and bidet. Besides both vanity's storage areas, there are beautiful built-in floor to wall cabinets, which add to the master bath's tremendous storage space. Sleek tasteful accessories, silk plants and two ceiling fans, plus A/C, add the final upscale touches to this magnificent room.
Beyond, enter an archway into the two-person semi- circular shower. Made of cut polished coral and cream-colored tumbled marble tiles, it includes two sets of water fixtures, three arched windows and a built-in seat. This shower makes bathing an otherworldly experience. From the bath, pass through two large arched dark-wood slatted doors into a hall that opens into the Master bedroom.
Each side of the hall is composed of a large walk-in closet, thereby creating the perfect his and hers storage situation. Entering the bedroom itself, your focus is drawn to the carved mahogany four-poster king-sized Tommy Bahama bed. A Bauer International hooked wool rug lies in front of the great mahogany armoire, which holds a 27-inch cable TV/VCR. Shades of burgundy and gold are utilized throughout the decor. Open the woven sea grass patterned drapes and light floods in from two perpendicular walls that each contain 8' by 8' sliding glass doors. The sliders open out to a L-shaped deck that overlooks the spectacular down island view.
As with all bedrooms on the estate, there is a ceiling fan and A/C with remote control. Several silk plants and two cushioned armchairs complete the regal ambiance of this room.
The Pineapple and Parrot rooms both share one connecting bathroom. The bathroom's full tub/shower is set under a picture window overlooking the wonderful eastward view. Each bedroom contains a queen-sized bed, ceiling fan, A/C and telephone. The 8' sliding glass doors in the Pineapple room open to the adjoining L-shaped deck of the Master bedroom. The Parrot room's sliding glass doors open out to a large 9 x 13 foot semi-circular tiled deck. Westward facing, this deck has tables and chairs for afternoon sun tanning and evening stargazing.
The two-level Guest House sits angled to the side of the Great House. Tucked into the sloped hillside, it is shady and quiet. The entire interior is painted a cool jungle green that reflects the wild ferns and fan palms that rustle right outside the walls. All the tiled floors and high ceilings are light-reflecting white.
Sliding glass doors open up into the Bamboo suite. This bed/bath suite has a queen-sized split bamboo framed bed, bamboo wood furniture and shades. Palm print linens complete the island flavor decor. There is a ceiling fan, A/C, telephone, 14-inch cable TV/VCR, a stereo CD player and large walk-in closet. The bathroom has a six-foot white tiled vanity and a spacious U-shaped tiled shower. Arched windows inside look out upon a very private, lush forest.
The upper story of the Guest House, which sits beside a koi pond, is accessed from a terraced stone path leading from the main house's central entrance or from side steps near the lower Guest House bedroom. Here, the Orchid Suite contains a four-poster queen-sized bed, A/C, ceiling fan, cable TV/VCR/DVD and telephone. Blue and white cattleya orchid print drapes cover two walls of 8 x 8 ft. sliding glass doors, both of which opens out to an observation deck. There is ample closet space and a 4 x 8' wooden storage cabinet. A back-slanting plantation-style chair, bookcase and floor lamp decorate a cozy sitting area in the corner, perfect for reading that current best-selling novel. An attached bathroom has a four-foot tiled vanity and a large U-shaped tiled shower with windows similar to the one downstairs.
Enter the cottage and find yourself in a romantic private retreat. A bedroom/bathroom/kitchenette suite all in one, it becomes the perfect getaway. A couple with a young baby, or an older couple, preferring a quiet space away from the action of the main house, will appreciate this spot.
Inside, the interior color scheme matches the Guest House, cool jungle green walls with large cream-colored floor tiles. A wrought-iron four-poster king-sized bed, dark mahogany dressers, a 19 inch cable TV/VCR and two cushioned armchairs decorate the sleeping area. A round pedestal table, with four cushioned teak chairs on top of a black floral rug, defines the kitchenette space. There, cabinets and a counter hold a small refrigerator, sink, microwave, coffeemaker and dinnerware for four.
The attached bathroom contains a shower with full tub. Gentle light streams in from the plentiful windows that wrap around the cottage. The side window by the kitchenette, shaded by a giant alocasia elephant ear plant, looks out to the second smaller goldfish pond containing orandas and guppies. Cyperus and water lettuce grow in the water, while frilly ferns and red hibiscus hang nearby. Outside, on the tiled porch, there are two wicker chairs and a small love seat.
Listen to the stirring of the palms from the breezes that also brush gently across your skin. Hear the birds peep, trill and chirp up and down the bountiful hillside. Wake up early in the morning to see the mountains veiled in mist. Breathe in rich oxygenated air. At night, turn on the beautiful outdoor lanterns, found affixed over doors and on building corners. In their soft glow, primitive shaped shadows dance around as wispy winds play through the leaves. Know how captivating it can be to live completely surrounded by Caribbean nature.
St. John has much to offer: pristine beaches and crystalline water, world class dining, exotic and upscale shopping, historic ruins and rugged trails for exploring. Yet, when your day is done, Estate Chateau Margot offers a quiet castle-like retreat away from the rest of the world. Being her own little universe of serenity, Margot may entice you to skip the day trip, and stay comfortably home, daydreaming in her warm embrace.
The expansive gardens contain an abundance of fruit trees consisting of orange, grapefruit, lemons, key lime, avocado, mango, papaya, pomegranate, star fruit, guava, bananas, plantains and passion fruit available for the picking when in season. Chateau Margot is a unique design that incorporates abundant native stonewalls, gorgeous landscaping, many potted plants, orchids, fishponds, and other features that give this home a feeling of taste and refinement.
It is a 7 mile drive into Cruz Bay on paved roads on either Centerline Road, which runs through the mountains, or along the scenic canopied coast of the north shore road. The National Park Beaches Maho and Francis Bay are just a short 5-7 minute drive. In 10 minutes you can enter the small town of Coral Bay where you can dine at one of several restaurants or pick up groceries for dining in. The acclaimed Chateaux Bordeaux Restaurant is within a 10 minute walk from the estate on a paved road.
