Jungle Stone

Catherineberg, St. John, US Virgin Islands, 5 Bedrooms

Jungle Stone is a 5 bedroom/6 bath ultra luxury Caribbean villa on St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands, overlooking some of the most majestic and breathtaking views of 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, 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.

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 ten 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.

Climbing an exterior staircase to the very top of Jungle Stone, you'll enter the Orchid Suite, considered 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. Overlooking the majestic Caribbean, the Orchid Suite is the bedroom of your dreams.

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.

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 al fresco shower.

The Blue Lagoon, on the main level off the breezeway, 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.

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, an 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 is filled with works of art, both by local and international artists, including a specially commissioned stain glass panel. All of this works together to create a casually sophisticated, West Indies ambiance. The spectacular view from Jungle Stone showcases Cinnamon Bay Beach below and a ribbon of green islets and cays beyond, set like sparkling emeralds in the blue sea. It feels like yours alone at Jungle Stone: a memorable backdrop to lazy days spent here unwinding with family and friends.

Jungle Stone is certainly St. John's ultimate villa for sophisticated travelers in search of architectural magnificence, geographical location, and refined and elegant interior design and Caribbean living.
