Stunning contemporary villa near Montpelier Estate, designed by renowned UK architect Julian Arendt. This 9000-square-foot home melds into its tropical surroundings, with incredible views of the Caribbean Sea and Mount Nevis. The gardens include various stands of tropical bamboo; the huge glass windows and doors provide a bright, open atmosphere, where one space flows seamlessly into another. On the ground level, the two-story galleried living area leads into an enormous gourmet kitchen/dining area. On the upper level is a very large master suite and walkways leading to a belvedere look-out via a wooden bridge. That level connects to a private two-story guest area with two separate bedroom suites. The house is surrounded with 14-foot wide roof covered verandahs on both levels adding outdoor living space for all weather. Punctuating the clean lines is a fabulous mature garden with a wide variety of orchids, natural plants, palms, flowers, and of course, bamboo.
