Palazzo del Sol

Other Tortola, トルトラ イギリス領ヴァージン諸島

High in the hills overlooking Road Town and the southern cays of the British Virgin Islands, there is a palatial home that evokes the grandeur of another time. Set on 1.5 acres, Palazzo del Sol boasts four stories, numerous balconies, staff quarters, a two-car garage, and an indoor pool. This is only the beginning of what could be a virtual palace or boutique hotel upon completion, with its marbled grand entrance, numerous chandeliers, double master suites with walk-in wardrobe rooms, personal hair salon, fitness room, and lush gardens.

This home can described as statuesque with 13,500 square feet of interior living spaces and multi-levels of solid concrete construction designed to withstand all weather conditions.

Oversized double doors open into a chandeliered foyer and a large open living area with ornately tiled floors and statuesque columns throughout. The dining areas, living rooms and entertainment rooms are all arranged around the three-story atrium with a winding stairway that services the two main floors. The kitchen area is vast and waiting for appliances, cabinets and countertops to be installed. There is a large pantry with a two-door garage and an office. Custom imported furnishings are included in the purchase price.

The Main Floor level boasts one of two master suites which consist of a large bedroom, grand bathroom with both shower and jacuzzi tub, a large walk-in closet, and an additional office complete with exterior door access. The dimensions of the room sizes can best be described as palatial with its 16-foot ceilings and wrap-around viewing balconies.The Upper Floor hosts a Second Master Suite which has been fully finished, with a cosmetics makeup room, hair salon, and electric fireplace. A tiled promenade shares the atrium with the floor below which leads westward to two additional bedrooms, each with en suite bathrooms.

A winding stair leads upward to a viewing lookout with small service rooms that could easily be converted into a bar for entertaining while taking in the never-ending views.

The ground floor, below the main Floor, maintains the grandeur of the other two floors but with a focus on fitness and entertainment. It could host a full-sized kitchen, bar with pool table, large media room, and several additional storage areas. There is already an indoor lap pool with creative tile finishes. If a gym/fitness room is desired, there remains plenty of interior space for such. On this level there is a large outdoor area which could be created into a large outdoor BBQ area with meandering flower gardens.

This additional downstairs area was originally planned to be used as a wedding and catering venue but could also convert to an independent apartment separated from the rest of the house. A home as grand as this may wish to have full-time staff in place in either the studio efficiency apartment or have extended family and guests stay in the full-size one-bedroom apartment complete with their own kitchen, exterior entrance and separate driveway with parking.

This lovely manor home is being sold without being completely finished. Remaining to be completed are the main kitchens, the tiling of the main master suite, the installation of the elevator and equipping the entertainment rooms below, thus allowing for a complete redesign from the original intent, or conversion of the whole structure into a grand boutique hotel with guest rooms and or large apartment complex.
