Truly an exceptional property in the community of Dix Pas, Castle Bruce. This property is built for good and happy living, a beautiful marriage of European design and Dominican flavour. Embraced by the Isle of beauty, Isle of Splendor – nature at its best.
The bamboo canopy welcomes you home, the ocean view from the entrance is already enough for rejuvenation of body, mind, sold and spirit – an oasis, a retreat!
The 15-year-old house was completed in 2010 of local wood and concrete. A unique 2 storey building , strategically positioned to capture and embrace the awesome view of the Atlantic Ocean (with its trade winds) and the surrounding farmlands. Jalousie windows, handmade of Red Cedarwood with mosquito netting and external storm shutters
The ground floor is built of concrete and designed for safety and wholesome living. 2 entrances – one of them was done by incorporating the retaining wall by created a long-covered walkway, in that walkway is the ideal space for outdoor shoes, umbrellas, raincoats etc. You may go to the living room, out in the garden or up the internal stairs to the top floor.
Through the gate of “Howay In” you enter the 2nd entrance for a view of the garden and ocean. This gate leads to the kitchen which is fully equipped with modern appliances including a range stove with both a grill and oven and a dining nook. Cabinets are made of the best local Red Cedarwood,
Off to the left of the kitchen is the living room – a very cozy spot, prefect place for good conversations during the raining seasons. The living room has another entrance through the walkway.
From the living room you step down (2 steps) to the 2 beautiful large bedrooms and the bathroom is located on the ground floor, they all have views of the ocean and garden. The shower and the toilet are separated – this allows both spaces to be used simultaneously.
From the walkway you may go up the stairs to the top floor or through the back door. The top floor is unique. It resembles a little wooden creole house with a large living room and an attic bedroom, it is covered in shingles made from local wood (a nice reminder of years gone by). The bathroom is detached and it is built in concrete. Wide open terrace 30ft x 40ft with awesome ocean views, hammocks are placed there to swing away while enjoying the sound and sight of nature and the ocean. What makes this top floor unique is that you can walk around it completely and not be outside. The north, south and west sides of the house is enclosed with open decorative breeze blocks that allows breeze to flow constantly, while the east side is open wide for the view and to let in the Tradewind. An external door accessing a quiet flower garden.
There is no need for A/C but there are ceiling fans in the two bedrooms.
A parking garage for 2 cars substantially built of concrete and a separate concrete built storeroom for gardening and household maintenance equipment
Sits on 5 acres of gently sloping land with steps through a flower garden leading to the well maintained and manicured expanse of open land with lots of fruit bearing trees such as bananas, plantain, avocado, citrus, cashew, mango, soursop and many other valued trees such as red cedar and mahogany.
Connected to City water and electricity grid, a solar panel provides 50 gallons of hot water throughout the home with separate water tanks (1000 & 400 gallons) which collects rain water for watering the garden and of course you may install electric solar panels for more independent living.
