| Lone
Palm is a seven-minute drive to Long Bay and Cane Garden Bay - the best
beaches on Tortola - and even less to the great little beach at Apple Bay,
home of the Sugar Mill, or Capoons Bay, home of the Bomba Shack and the
best surfing on the Island.
This
just-completed, architect-designed residence lies a short, steep ascent
to about 400 feet, which affords extraordinary views of Jost Van Dyke,
Sandy Cay, and West to St. Thomas. After a day on the water, exploring
Nature’s Little Secrets, or on the beach, retire to this cooler, drier,
quieter elevation still within sight and sound of the surf.
|
The
main living area is comprised of a great room, including a large, fully
equipped kitchen with island, dining area, buffet and bar, and a large
family area. Also on the first floor are two master bedrooms, each with
en suite baths and truly lovely ocean views, and a third bedroom with garden
view and full bath.
The
house is surrounded on three sides by a wide verandah, nicely accessible
from all the bedrooms and the great room. The large front porch leads to
the parking areas, the downstairs suite, and the outdoor, warm-water shower. |
Breakfast,
lunch and dinner can be served inside at the island (seats 4) or on the
verandah (seats 10 at two teak tables). Or in the Great Room at the table
that seats 8. We recommend taking your morning coffee on the verandah amidst
the soft tropical breeze with a wide-sweeping view of one of the Caribbean’s
most spectacular island profiles dotted with sailboats of all sizes.
A downstairs
suite with separate outside entrance includes bedroom, full bath, kitchenette,
and outstanding views.
Formerly
rich, terraced farmland growing banana, yams, sugar cane and tapia, the
property is now abundant with banana, papaya, and other fruit trees. The
stone-walled front access is professionally landscaped with tropical flowers
and palms, and outdoor lighting enhances the natural beauty after sundown.
Ample parking for you and your guests.

This 400-foot
elevation was selected because it is cooler, drier, and quieter, but is
still within sight and sound of the surf when the surge is up. It’s a perfect
place to retire after a day on the water, diving/snorkeling, on the beach,
shopping, or exploring the likes of the Botanical Gardens or the tropical
rain forest at Mount Sage Park.
