Smitty's Retreat Havers, Tortola British Virgin Islands

Smitty's Retreat is a charming retreat situated in the scenic Havers Hill neighborhood on Tortola's south shore. The property boasts a mature tropical garden and stunning panoramic views of the Sir Francis Drake Channel, Norman Island and St. John.

Hurricane and flood damage from Irma and previous storms have impacted this property. The photos included show the structures as they were before the storm. The property is now being sold as-is, with the owners seeking a cash buyer—preferably a Belonger who can appreciate the value in the existing retaining walls, cisterns, and structures.

Several structural walls have been damaged due to settlement beneath the seaside foundation, which was built on fill. As a result, reinforcement will be necessary. Additionally, there are signs of water runoff that need to be properly managed and redirected from behind and above the house.

This is a project home—either a major renovation or a partial tear-down and rebuild—located on a beautiful hillside site overlooking the channel.

Smitty's Retreat is a jewel of a property which benefits from excellent access and proximity to Road Town and the West End ferry dock. The views are lovely and the gentle breezes from the easterly trade winds provide a delightful relaxed Caribbean atmosphere.
