An Elite Traveller's Top 10 Caribbean Villa

Miramar is the ultimate expression of Caribbean luxury, located on a dramatic waterfront bluff at the edge of the sea that offers sweeping, panoramic views of the turquoise Caribbean Sea and the iconic Buck Island. This landscaped extraordinary estate seamlessly blends refined elegance with the breathtaking beauty of its natural surroundings, creating a private sanctuary unlike any other. Formerly known as the Appleton Estate and named among Elite Traveler's ''Top Ten Villas in the Caribbean,'' this exceptional property is a private sanctuary of sophistication and comfort, located in the coveted Estate Solitude on St. Croix's northeast shore in the prime location facing Buck Island. From the moment you enter through the private gate, a columned portico and tranquil fountain set the stage for the grandeur that awaits. Inside, the magnificent 2,400-square-foot Great Room welcomes you with soaring coffered ceilings, regal columns, Italian marble floors that extend throughout every room and outdoor deck area, and sparkling crystal chandeliers. Artful lighting, stunning sculptures and art, and walls of French doors frame breathtaking, unobstructed views of the sea, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor beauty. Designed for both relaxation and elegant entertaining, the Great Room features a plush living area anchored by a 70-inch LED 4K HD television with surround sound, an elegant formal dining space with coral table for 12+ seating, and an 18-foot granite-topped wet bar facing the sea through large panoramic glass, complete with beverage coolers and an ice maker. The adjoining gourmet kitchen is a masterpiece in both form and function, offering black granite countertops, custom cabinetry, twin Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, Wolf and Asko appliances, and every culinary tool a chef could desire. Whether hosting intimate dinners or grand gatherings, this kitchen delivers the perfect setting for culinary excellence. Step through the Great Room's French doors to Miramar's outdoor paradise. A heated infinity pool appears to merge seamlessly with the shimmering Caribbean Sea, creating a visual masterpiece that stretches toward the horizon. The Corazzo marble extends to the expansive terrace that is thoughtfully designed with cushioned loungers, shaded seating areas, a private breakfast table and seating area, and a large coral-stone dining table ideal for alfresco meals and sunset cocktails. A built-in stainless steel gas grill adds to the effortless enjoyment of outdoor entertaining, while panoramic views of Buck Island, passing yachts, and soaring pelicans offer a constant reminder of the beauty that surrounds you.
