Maison de Reve

The centerpiece of this very private estate property is an elegant 8,000 square foot, six-bedroom villa filled with spacious indoor and outdoor living. Lush and colorful tropical gardens, a grand entry courtyard, and expansive lawns surround the house. The mood is tropical, exotic, and inviting with the feel of a private home in Bali.

The villa's stunning panoramic views are accented by the brilliant turquoise sea, sandy beaches, sloping mountains and the charming town of Marigot. Multi-level sitting areas for dining or relaxing, both covered and open, surround the pool to take full advantage of the variegated view from dawn to dusk. The exotic rainforest-style pool, complete with a waterfall, adds visual interest by day and by night via fiber optics. At the pool level is the barbecue and bar, plus additional dining space.

The flow of the house creates a perfect villa for large family gatherings, good friends, or small corporate retreats. The interiors are serene and comfortable. The main living space features a large, open-plan room with soaring ceilings, Indonesian-style seating and accessories, a modern, high-end, fully equipped kitchen, plus a state-of-the-art sound system and media facilities. Tumbled travertine floors flow throughout the interior and exterior spaces.

Bedrooms include two off the living room, one upper and one lower, each with private sitting areas. Descend the outside stairs to the two-bedroom suite with a shared media room and terrace. Two more bedrooms are in private casitas surrounded by lush gardens. Every bedroom is furnished in Indonesian style in soft creams, whites, and sand beige tones. Each has a soothing marble, spa-style bathroom featuring big walk-in showers and carved stone sinks.

Although you might never wish to leave the house, you are within walking distance to Baie Rouge Beach, ten minutes to Porto Cupecoy's fabulous restaurants, and seven minutes to the charming French capital of Marigot with restaurants, the Creole Market, galleries, and shopping. Only ten minutes from the International SXM airport and 30 minutes to both Grand Case and Phillipsburg.
