This luxury home for sale in Anguilla is a world all of its own, full of character and potential. Beautifully pinned to the southern face of North Hill, the property sits on a generous lot of 0.65 acres overlooking the picturesque village of Sandy Ground with all the traffic and activity that pertains to the island’s umbilical chord.

Split across three levels, the walled and fenced house has the free open feel of the French Riviera. Past the outer gates a superbly decorated stone yard is brimming with local plants. Meanwhile a number of sprawling hybrid spaces blur the line between indoor and outdoor. This is particularly true of the outstanding deck on the main floor, whose covered and semi covered areas around the 27ft x16ft swimming pool are both practical and irresistible.

Three steps up from the pool there is access to an inside-outside kitchen with wrap-around counters and Demerara windows. On the same level there’s a small hot tub and an outdoor dining area that links up with the covered gallery – a cosy nook beyond the outer colonnade which is perfect for an afternoon pause.

Inside, the ground-level living area is deliberately spacious, with clay floor tiles and traditional wooden double doors. A colossal chandelier hangs from the top-floor ceiling, lending substance to the gaping hole yawning its way from floor to ceiling. A guest bedroom (the Blue room) with ensuite bathroom, a study/library and a half bathroom complete the layout of the ground level.

The upper level features an ample master bedroom mezzanine majestically enhanced by a gorgeous terrace with sweeping views over the salt pond and Road Bay. The cut-out central panel in the middle of the room could be closed with a glass floor, although the current layout, with an inward wrap-around gallery, two sleeping stations, walk-in closet and separate bathroom makes for an intriguing and inventive space, naturally cooled down by the passage of the trade winds.

The indoor stairway leads down to the basement, where there is currently an open foyer, an office and a huge storage room. Additionally, a stand-alone studio which also profits from outstanding outside space. Other facilities include a three-car garage and a generator. There is an extravagant touch to this property that makes it unique, but its design is sufficiently flexible to allow for more conventional use, with the potential to easily transform it into a 4-, 5- or even 6-bedroom house if required. Asking price: US$2,900.000.
