As seen in the New York Times

This tasteful 3-bedroom house for sale in Anguilla sits on half an acre of oceanfront land in the residential neighbourhood of Sea Feathers, a bastion of tranquillity and community life on the eastern side of the island.

Laid out across 1,300 square feet, the house boasts a spacious central living room and open plan kitchen with terra-cotta floors and an aerie cathedral ceiling. On one end of the building you have the master bedroom with ensuite bathroom, while the opposite side houses, two visitor bedrooms with a shared bathroom. Both the master bedroom and one of the visitor bedrooms have direct access to the veranda, with panoramic ocean views.

The house pays a conscious tribute to Caribbean building tradition combining local stone with red cedar door and windows while adorning the perimeter of the roof with traditional gingerbread trimmings. Arched doorways open to the 1,200-square-foot veranda, the gorgeous pool deck and the Caribbean Sea, with stunning views of the southern isles, from St Martin to St Barth, and all the cays in between.

Outdoor living is central to this property, with the peaceful infinity-edge swimming pool connecting to the coastline through some steps. Whale-spotting in February, boat-race watching in the summer and sunset drinks throughout the year are just part of the ordinary outdoor activities calendar.

A lush tropical garden accentuates the Caribbean look of the property, with lavish hibiscus, bougainvillea and palm trees providing local colour, while the stone wall around the perimeter of the parcel gives it a stylish look. Conveniently located in one of the best loved neighbourhoods on Anguilla, this house is right on the paved road, just a short drive away from all the amenities (supermarket, wine store, petrol station). Meanwhile the solar panels fitted on the slanted roof give it an element of autonomy and alleviate electricity costs. Asking price: US $1,200,000.
