Description
Villa Jungle Stone is a 5 bedroom, 6 bathroom ultra luxury Caribbean Villa on St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands, overlooking some of the most majestic and breathtaking views anywhere in the world. Completely surrounded by the Virgin Islands National Park, the Jungle Stone enclave is secluded, private, and luxuriously elegant in every detail.
Perched hillside in the exclusive Catherineberg neighborhood, Villa Jungle Stone overlooks St. John's famous and spectacular North Shore beaches of Cinnamon Bay, Peter Bay, Maho Bay, and Francis Bay, and is surrounded by natural tropical jungles, and lush tropical gardens.
Villa Jungle Stone is certainly St. John's ultimate villa for sophisticated travelers in search of architectural magnificence, geographical location, and refined & elegant interior design and Caribbean living.
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 spectacular view from Jungle Stone showcases Cinnamon Beach below and a ribbon of green islets and cays beyond, set like sparkling emeralds in the blue sea. And it feels like yours alone at Jungle Stone - what a memorable backdrop to lazy days spent here unwinding with family and friends.
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.
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.
Orchid Suite: 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 tropical feel, along with the tropical hardwoods, teak floors, and bamboo window treatments.
Parrot Suite: 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. Also found on this fully air-conditioned garden level is the fitness room, a large laundry room and a bathroom for villa staff.
Treehouse Suite: 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.
The Blue Lagoon Suite: On the main level off the breezeway this bedroom 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 also a twin-size daybed providing a relaxing spot for an afternoon read, or for a young child.
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.
