UNIQUE HOMES IN ST KITTS AND NEVIS

It is easy to form the wrong opinion of homes in the Caribbean, and a notion of brightly coloured sameness creeps into the assumptions. But Nevis – even little Nevis, tiny though it is – has an astonishing diversity in its properties for sale, offering unique living opportunities that range from historical to colonial to flat-out chic. Some of these homes were created hundreds of years ago, while others are newcomers to the island's verdant slopes. Here, we reveal just a glimpse of what is on offer. 

Vervain Mill

Nevis' history is wrapped up in its sugar mills, and Vervain Mill presents the opportunity to live in an integral part of that history. A romantic retreat cleverly created over four rounded storeys, the mill curls itself around its occupants offering a safe, unyielding harbour. Set in stunning mature gardens, the fragrance here is that of frangipani and the salt air of the sea; a swimming pool has panoramic views across the island, the sea and the mountain, and a gazebo offers a quiet retreat-within-a-retreat. Only a handful of converted sugar mills exist around the world, and here is the chance to become the new custodian of this sliver of history. 

The Galleries

Unique in that this traditional West Indian home was lovingly restored and cleverly transformed by well-known UK design consultant and interior designer Naomi Cleaver. The Blouse and Skirt architecture consisting of a stone base and wooden structure on the upper level, is a testament to the island’s century long design. The secluded 70-foot-long lap pool is a great addition even though The Galleries is only a 5-minute walk to the best beaches on the island. 

Blue Serenity

A stunning new addition to the Nevis real-estate scene, Blue Serenity is a chic, carefully styled property set in a prominent position to view sunrises over the Atlantic and sunsets over the Caribbean. Just a few steps from the island's best-loved swimming beach, this is a unique opportunity to own a home designed by experts in the island's properties. Interior designer Helene Robic brings French flair to the home that boasts such thoughtful features as a privately accessed office space, a fully equipped gym, and a dedicated yoga patio. Blue Serenity combines all the best possibilities of other island homes and has made them a reality.
