Particularly with the advent of WFH – working from home, or ‘working from hammock’ as we prefer to think of it on Nevis – families are looking to relocate to the island. The Caribbean offers beaches, year round sun and an unparalleled lifestyle, after all. With increasing numbers of flight connections to the US and Europe, the dream has never been easier to attain.

The first home worth highlighting for families interested in making the move here is Zetland Hills. This was remodelled in 2017 and made into the quintessential family home: four bedrooms are complemented by a games room, a gym, a billiard room, and dedicated entertainment areas. Of course, there’s also a generous pool in the garden which, for the safety of little ones, is fully fenced.

The garden is mature and in immaculate condition: this is a ‘ready to move into’ family home that will keep the youngest children entertained, give the older ones the space they crave, and those who have flown the nest a stream of excuses to visit on a regular basis. It’s valued at US$1,450,000, an excellent price for such an extensive property set in an acre of gorgeous gardens.

Those looking for even more bedrooms would do well to consider the Captain’s Retreat, a five bedroom luxury home with the longest private pool on Nevis. This is 50 feet of perfect pool, fenced and made safe in the acre of landscaped gardens. There is a completely separate two bedroom cottage in the grounds, and the master suite in the main house is separated by an internal staircase.

This is a place for those seeking space and privacy, but also the drama of sitting rooms with cathedral ceilings and a particularly beautiful sun room for coming together as a family. Recently reduced to US$950,000, it offers incredible value for money.

The final suggestion for families is Morning Star Manor. Tucked away in the hills at the end of a very private driveway, this discrete villa is an impressive blend of Caribbean charm and contemporary stylings. There’s an intercom system from all four bedrooms to the kitchen plus a completely separate studio downstairs that make the villa ideal for anyone seeking to have live-in staff.

Set in 2.5 acres of grounds, there is ample space for further cottages to be built or a pool to be added – even tennis courts would fit in here. Valued at US$975,000, this is an excellent opportunity for those looking to acquire a property that is ready to move into but also provides scope for development.

There are villas spread across the islands that are ideal for families, whatever size you’re looking to accommodate. Get in touch with us to discuss your needs or to arrange a viewing of any of the properties mentioned here or listed on our site.
