St James, Apes Hill, Barbados

Great opportunity to purchase a large 10.5 acre plantation located in a quiet setting in Apes Hill, with stunning views overlooking the west coast with expansive views towards the sea.

Situated on one of the highest points of the island, just outside Apes Hill Club, on hole number 2 of the golf course.

The plantation dates back to the mid 1600's and today has 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. It benefits from the cooling trade-winds, which makes air conditioning a luxury and not a necessity. The main house is all on one floor except for the kitchen and laundry. These are downstairs. The thick rubble walls keep the house cool on the hottest of days.

There are 2 other homes on the property, 1 of which is a converted boiling house with 2 bedrooms and the other is a studio apartment which sits amongst the mahogany Tree grove in the paddock.

There are a few other old buildings which lend themselves to being converted into further accommodation and 2 old mill walls. 1 of the buildings is an old windmill that worked until 1939, it was then converted into a white lime kiln. The other is a water mill and is the only one like it on the island.

The home is furnished with beautiful antiques and can be sold furnished.
