Highlands is an exquisite luxury residence in Barbados, exuding the charm of a bygone era. Nestled on the prestigious Platinum Coast within the lush surroundings of a two-acre tropical garden, Highlands is centrally located in the exclusive Sandy Lane Estate. Situated on one of the highest points within the estate, this villa offers a sense of intimacy, privacy, and exclusivity with no neighboring houses to the rear.

This stunning property features six bedrooms, with four bedrooms in the main villa and an additional two bedrooms in the cottage located on the grounds. The lush indoor and outdoor gardens create a captivating tropical ambiance that sets the stage for a truly unique villa experience.

As you enter Highlands, a serene atmosphere envelops you, and you cross a bridge over a tranquil stream that meanders around the villa and out into the garden. At night, the imaginative lighting within the gardens adds a particularly enchanting touch.

To the right of the entrance hall, you’ll find a living room that opens onto a large terrace, offering magnificent views of the garden, swimming pool, and glimpses of the sea. Adjacent to the living room is the gazebo-style dining area, where ten people can enjoy a unique dining experience amidst the soothing ambiance created by a water feature and tropical plants.

For more casual meals and breakfast, there is a dining terrace that opens onto the pool and BBQ area. Accessible through the wet bar, which adjoins the large kitchen and service areas, this dining terrace provides a convenient space for relaxed dining.

The bedroom wing, located to the left of the entrance hall, features three double guest rooms with en-suite bathrooms, linked by an intimate terrace that offers commanding views of the lush tropical gardens. The main bedroom wing includes a spacious master bedroom suite with its own private pool, bar, and outdoor lounge area. The terrace of the master suite boasts a wet bar and an outdoor plunge pool, while a private courtyard enhances the sense of privacy. The elegantly designed en-suite bathroom features marble finishes, a large shower, and a separate jacuzzi.

The remaining three guest bedrooms in the main villa are equipped with air conditioning, private bathrooms, and terraces. The fifth bedroom, located in the annex, is perfect for teenagers or an ‘au pair’. Additionally, there is a small gym near the service area, which could be converted into a sixth bedroom if desired.

Highlands offers ample space for guests to spread out and enjoy Caribbean villa living together. The pool area includes a private sun deck with sun loungers and dining tables, surrounded by exquisite gardens that further enhance the ambiance.

Situated in a highly sought-after location close to the amenities of the west coast and the Sandy Lane Estate, Highlands grants guests access to nearby tennis courts, golf courses, and a delightful beach club. At the Sandy Lane Estate Beach Club, guests can relax on sun loungers and enjoy the provided towels. The club also features a charming beach bar designed by Kitt Kemp.

Additional features of Highlands include a recently extended terrace, a temperature-controlled wine cellar, and a generator. The interiors and exteriors have been recently painted, and the property is being offered for sale furnished, including full sets of China, Waterford crystal kitchenware, and new patio furniture.

A private cabana at the Sandy Lane Estate Beach Club, located approximately three-quarters of a mile from the house, is exclusively available for residents of Sandy Lane Estate. The property also offers proximity to golf, tennis, and water sports, ensuring an array of recreational opportunities.
