On The Market: Baie de St. Jean, St. Bart's
September 1, 2006
LOCATION: Less than a mile from the beach, near the top of a hill on the northern part of the island, overlooking white-sand beaches and turquoise waters.
HISTORY: The
home was built in 1991 and is currently owned by an American businessman.
$8.25 million. Offered by Christian Wattiau. (Click images to enlarge); function voidFunc() { } voidFunc();)

STATS: The
five-bedroom house has been designed to complement the 1.2-acre site’s unique
topography and wraps around the hill’s summit—instead of sitting on top of it—to
maximize views and privacy. The main house contains the master suite and
features terra-cotta floor tiles throughout the kitchen and dining area. Two
smaller, two-bedroom bungalows are adjacent to the main house, and each has
its own private terrace with an outdoor shower. Outside, a swimming pool and
low-lying plants complete the landscape.
WHAT SETS IT APART: "People overuse the phrase ‘amazing view,’ but it’s really true here," says broker Christian Wattiau. "You can see 360 degrees around the island, with St. Martin and Anguilla in the distance. Also, being up that high ensures that you’ll always have a nice breeze."
