Babonneau, St Lucia

Welcome to this tropical paradise, Heliconia House nestled on 2 acres of lush vegetation, refreshing mountain air, and the quiet of a suburban lifestyle. Only 25 minutes drive away from the commercial hub of Rodney Bay, this property is comprised of a 3-bedroom villa, a detached kitchen, bathrooms, and a fully serviced bar area all on the outside for private entertainment or otherwise. Heliconia House also houses a cottage for the live-in gardener/security guard and a gazebo laced with an evergreen climbing vine.

The property entrance is adorned with profoundly beautiful flowers, which extend all to the villa and its surroundings including the pool area in an array of colours. Heavenly scents consume one as they stroll through the variety of fruit-bearing trees, strategically planted to maximize the enjoyment of the gardens which are suitable for yoga, meditation, and other relaxing exercises. These fruit trees include but are not limited to golden apples, coconuts, plums, mangoes, bananas, tamarind, almonds, guavas, and star apples.

Although the property is partially fenced, the official entrance is accessed via chrome automatic gates which lead to the concrete driveway of about 450 yards en route to the front of the main house. There is ample parking space for 2-3 vehicles towards the front of the house and the well-manicured roadside hedges clearly define the perimeter of the property.
The main house constructed in two stories was recently refurbished and is built with hardwood flooring throughout the interiors. The patios on the ground and 1st floor are tiled with white ceramic tiles which blend in nicely with the dark colour of the wood floors. The patio on the ground floor is quite large, extends to the pool area, and can easily accommodate alfresco dining. On entering the villa one is embraced with a spacious living and dining area in an open-plan setting. The kitchen in its predominantly white and blue décor is well equipped with all appliances including an island with built-in cabinetry. On this floor is a powder room/cloakroom fitted with a washing machine. The entire ground floor is air-conditioned for one's temperature preference however there are several windows and doors on both floors ensuring a steady movement of cooling breezes.

From the ground floor, one ascends the vanished wooden staircase to the landing which leads to the bedrooms. The master suite is first in line, followed by the other two bedrooms and a shared bathroom. All the bedrooms are air-conditioned and afford one the opportunity to walk through its unique double door exit, into the full-length patio facing breathtaking views of the gardens and nearby mountains. Both bathrooms are completed with double vanities and granite countertops in captivating shades of beige and brown. The tempered glass walk-in rain showers are doorless for ease of use and maneuverability.

The pale blue outdoor swimming pool is open-air, allowing sufficient space on the tiled deck for dining and lounging. For easy access, the unisex bathrooms and outdoor kitchen are a short distance away. The bar area is quite large and accommodates a sitting party of 25 people should one wish to host a gathering or explore the option of using it as an entertainment investment for small weddings or birthday parties.
