Why is the Presidio Del Mar, in St. John, US Virgin Islands, considered the finest villa for sale in the Caribbean?
With the white sands of Trunk Bay located on one side of the peninsula property and Cinnamon Bay on the other side (which the famous country musician Kenny Chesney sang about in his record setting album, The Old Blue Chair. On a side note, he lived 3 doors down from Presidio when he recorded it!), Presidio Del Mar boasts the finest modern-day comforts, complimenting the natural beauty of the turquoise waters and the US Virgin Islands National Park. Situated on 1.63 lush acres, Presidio Del Mar, St. John real estate for sale, captures your heart and awakes your senses the moment you enter between the lion statues, and across the hand-laid cobblestone driveway, winding gracefully down to the main residence with it's 4 detached guest suites.
As a Caribbean vacation rental there is none finer.
Private and surrounded by the Virgin Islands National Park with panoramic ocean views, this estate is perched proudly on one of the most renowned peninsulas on the coveted north shore St. John real estate for sale - overlooking Cinnamon Bay, and a short snorkel from the tourist frequented Trunk Bay. To say that the sea life that abounds the coral reefs directly in front of the Presidio Del Mar is "rich" would be an understatement (there are barracuda, turtles, and parrot fish to name just a few), but that would only be fitting considering that there is no other Virgin Islands villa for sale, or Caribbean villa for sale for that matter, that compares with the quality, craftsmanship, detail, and exclusive use of materials as the Presidio Del Mar, St. John.
Not to mention that an estate such as this would not be permitted on the island of St. John if you were to build today. This project was "grand fathered in" and the 7 years that it took to complete the building of the villas and suites brought artisans from as far away as San Diego and Europe. The materials had to be transported in from many foreign destinations and lovingly set in place (just ask us about how long it took, and how many men, to raise the chandelier in the entry foyer and above the covered porch pool table.
Hurricane proof? You bet. Presidio Del Mar is a "fortess by the sea" and is built to withstand weather and time, perfect for use as a St. John family retreat, a St. John corporate retreat, a St. John second home, a Caribbean vacation rental or your exclusive St. John mega-estate villa residence.
