This luxury villa for sale in Anguilla has it all: elevation, breathtaking views, a path to the glorious Sandy Hill Bay, easy access through a paved road, perimeter wall, gated entrance, fantastic tropical gardens, quality equipment, tasteful decoration, space, privacy, allure – you name it Bird of Paradise has it!

Sitting on a generous acre of hilltop land overlooking the southern isles, from Saint Martin to Saint Barth, Flat Island, Statia and, on the clearest of days even Saint Kitts, the compound features three interconnected buildings with two swimming pools and five bedrooms, four of them master suites.

Leading on from the foyer there’s a path to the upper level of the main house, which is entirely taken by communal areas, from the grand living room with warming mahogany ceilings, panoramic all-around views, built-in bar and customised Balinesian furniture to the dining area and the impeccably assorted kitchen.

Outside the main house, the outdoor dining area adds a touch of class while the swimming pool, irregular, elastic and simply stunning, meanders along the side of the living room, flowing under the access bridge to the main master suite and over to the front of the property.

The lower level of the main building houses the second master suite with a large bathroom and a four-poster bed facing its own private patio (and the gorgeous view, of course). At the back of the lower level there’s the pump room and the independent laundry room.

The main master suite is located on the western side of the property, flanking the living room, in its own separate building connected to the main house through a quaint wooden bridge over the snaking pool. A four-poster king-sized bed reigns over the vast space, while the bathroom is equipped with separate sinks and granite counter, indoor and outdoor showers as well as a Jacuzzi. A wraparound patio widens toward the front of the building, ensuring privacy and comfort to relax by the second pool.

The third building of the compound is located to the eastern side of the entrance, slightly recessed from the main house. It has a cosy feel of autonomy, as it is set between the outdoor living area, with its signature fireplace, and its own private terrace.

The upper level of the third building features a master suite fitted with two twin-sized beds, while the pretty bathroom has been furnished with granite counters and a lovely tub. At the back of the upper level of this building there is an office and media room, which can easily be converted into a fifth bedroom. The fourth master suite is located in the lower level of this building, and comes with two queen-sized beds, its private terrace and bathroom.

Further accents of luxury pepper the property, from the day beds at the back to the sun deck right at the front. Furthermore, a footpath to Sandy Hill Bay puts the beach within a five-minute’s amble,

Bird of Paradise was designed by the firm Wilson Associates with beauty, from the intricate layout to the many pieces of African art in the various rooms, as a priority. However this has not come at the expense of practicality: access to the Internet is ubiquitous, a stand-by generator is at the ready to kick in when necessary, the gardens have their own irrigation system and all bedrooms come with both ceiling fans and a/c, as well as their own coffee service and small refrigerator. Not to mention private balconies (and glorious views).

The villa has been named one of the top 20 villas in the world by Islands magazine and Ocean Home magazine. Since it was completed it has had an excellent rental history with many repeat clients and considerable provable income. Located in an envious spot and spotlessly maintained, the property also has expansion potential, with plans to build a two-bedroom guest cottage already in existence. Asking price: US$3,650,000.
