Description
Jungle Stone, a new luxury estate situated within the Virgin Island National Park, is arguably the finest villa in the Virgin Islands. Located in the exclusive freehold of Catherineburg, Jungle Stone is perched 400 feet above Cinnamon Bay Beach and the scenic North Shore Road, with views sweeping over the azure waters of the Park cays and reefs, and beyond to the British Virgin Islands. The villa and its Pebble Cottage are set within one-plus acres of lush and exotic gardens, and surrounded by the dense Park forest lands. The gated circular drive leads guests to the main 4 bedroom-suite villa, Jungle Stone and its attendant 1 bedroom guest cottage, The Pebble. Guests may choose to reserve the Pebble in addition to the main house, but the Pebble is never rented alone or separately, to ensure the privacy of the compound. Jungle Stone offers a spacious Great Room with peaked beamed ceilings of exposed stained wooden shakes and rafters, and with polished teak floors. There is a large sitting area with a Bang & Olufsen sound system and a 53"� plasma TV, comfortable sofas, chairs and chaise lounges. A beautiful round dining table seats 10 easily. Custom painted floor cloths set off the furnishings as does the custom mahogany hutch with wet bar, ice maker, mini-fridge and wine cooler. The villa is filled with works of art, both by local and international artists, including a specially commissioned stain glass panel. All work together to create a casually sophisticated West Indies ambiance. The chef's dream kitchen has slate floors, granite counters, mahogany cupboards and stainless gas appliances, along with every convenience a cook could imagine, including 2 dishwashers, ice-maker, a refrigerator and a separate freezer. Off the kitchen is a lovely deck, perfect for morning coffee or late night desserts, surrounded with tropic flowering shrubs, and leading to an herb garden and fruit orchard. There is also a dedicated barbecue balcony with a 53"� Viking grill. From the Great Room, guests can choose between three very different outside spaces. There is a breezeway that connects the courtyard gardens with the ocean-side veranda. The breezeway offers a custom mahogany shuffleboard table, a portable wicker bar and comfortable seating. The poolside Veranda provides plenty of spots to sit, relax and enjoy the Caribbean breezes while overlooking the pool and the beautiful North Shore views. The third option is the wonderful Loggia, the preferred outdoor gathering place, with a large, cushy seating area, and an exotic hardwood dining table for 10. This outdoor living room has lovely arched openings to the mesmerizing sea views and breezes, with a mahogany coffered ceiling and gently whirring ceiling fans. There are 2 powder rooms at either end of the villa, and the Veranda has an outdoor shower to rinse off pool water and suntan lotion. All three outdoor seating areas lead to the pool, the teak sundeck, and the jacuzzi spa. Coral stone surrounds the heated pool, there is a delightfully splashing waterfall, and finally, there is a pool bar area with sink, mini-fridge and ice-maker. You'll never want to leave the villa, despite the lure of the beautiful island beaches! Jungle Stone has four air- conditioned luxurious bedroom suites, each different, each with its own West Indian character, and each with it's own private entry. On the west side of the villa, you'll find the Treehouse Suite and the Blue Lagoon Suite. The Blue Lagoon, on the main level off the breezeway, has an inviting king bed, a screened porch on the garden side, and an ocean-side balcony that leads out to the pool. The bathroom has a double porcelain pedestal sink and a semi-al fresco shower looking into the porch and jungle beyond. There is a twin-size daybed providing a relaxing spot for an afternoon read, or for a young child. Climbing an outside staircase brings you to the Treehouse Suite perched among the tree tops as the name implies. Here you'll find a queen bed, a lofty peaked stained ceiling with beams, teak floors, and a sea-view balcony. There is a private niche with a day bed window seat which can provide for a young child, or an afternoon secret getaway spot. There is a delightful bathroom with a semi-alfresco shower. On the east side of the house, you'll descend to the garden level to enter the Parrot Suite. This spacious bedroom has a maple faux-bamboo� king bed, a large sea-side balcony, and a surprising bathroom with an al fresco shower that looks into a private walled garden, yet with an ocean view. Climbing an exterior staircase to the very top of Jungle Stone, you'll enter the Orchid Suite, considered by the owners to be the master. This beautiful bedroom opens onto a large covered balcony that is perched above the surrounding jungle and beach. Sea turtles can be seen basking above the reef, and you can hear as well as see the surf breaking on Cinnamon Beach. The sumptuous king four poster bed is seductive, but the fabulous bath beckons.. here there is a wooden Japanese Hinoki cedar bathtub for two, an al fresco shower, and an antique mahogany vanity with copper fixtures. The 20' peaked ceiling lends a very tropical feel, along with the tropical hardwoods, teak floors, and bamboo window treatments. Jungle Stone also sports a Precor Fitness Center on the garden level, fully air-conditioned with LCD TV and Bose Wave player, as well as 2 laundry areas. In addition to the main villa, there is the Pebble Cottage. This fabulous West Indies style cottage is comprised of a living room, full retro-style kitchen (both opening into a large screened porch looking into the jungle), and a king bedroom with its own porch. The bathroom opens onto that porch where a private, al fresco shower awaits. The floors are forest green-stained wood with painted floor cloths, and there is an abundance of gloss white beadboard and stained yellow plaster walls with comfortable bright furnishings. The daily maid service, spa-quality robes and toiletries, the privacy and serenity, the amazing attention to detail in this beautiful villa, and the views will provide you with the most wondrous vacation experience on the beautiful island of St. John.
