Description:
Luxury Estate in Marble Hill – Two Residences, Endless Possibilities Perched in the desirable enclave of Marble Hill, this exceptional estate offers a rare blend of Caribbean elegance, privacy, and income potential. Set on half an acre of fully fenced, fruit tree-filled land, the property features two distinct homes thoughtfully positioned to maximize space, privacy, and the cooling northeast trade winds. The main residence is a beautifully designed two-story home spanning approximately 5,000 sq. ft., offering 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. The primary suite, located upstairs, is a private retreat with a spacious walk-in closet & en-suite, along with 2 large rooms and a second full bath. Downstairs features a second en-suite guest bedroom, ideal for visitors and a large office/music room. Elegant open living areas flow seamlessly to the expansive outdoor space, where a large pool and pool house—equipped with its own bedroom and en-suite bathroom—create the perfect setting for entertaining or relaxing under the Caribbean sun. All windows and doors in the property are hurricane-impact rated, providing peace of mind year-round. The home would benefit from minor TLC to restore it to its full potential, offering the opportunity to personalize and refresh this beautiful space. Covered parking for two vehicles and additional uncovered parking for two more add practical convenience, alongside a dedicated generator room for uninterrupted comfort. The property is well-equipped with a 35,000-gallon cistern capacity, smartly divided across four separate cisterns to ensure a consistent water supply. A second home sits at a higher elevation on the property, offering 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a charming wrap-around veranda. With approximately 1,250 sq. ft. of living space, it’s perfect for visiting family, private guest quarters, or as a short- or long-term rental for additional income. The second home also offers dedicated parking inside the fenced area for one vehicle, with plenty of additional street-side parking available just outside the fence. Located in a quiet and safe neighborhood, this Marble Hill estate offers the best of Caribbean living—spacious, breezy, and versatile—just minutes from Antigua’s best beaches, dining, and amenities.
