L'Esperance - St. Thomas

Originally the home of a 50s movie actress, this magnificent property high atop exclusive Flag Hill has been beautifully renovated. The kitchen is state of the art, and the expansive family room opens to a spacious stonework patio (home of the famous flag of Flag Hill) with breathtaking Caribbean views.

Three private and imaginatively-decorated bedroom/bath suites are on the main level, including a king master suite with its own secluded sitting room. The main floor also contains a media room/home theater with a large-screen TV and an extensive movie collection. The media room, with its sofabed and full bath adjoining, may be used as an extra bedroom. Two additional bedroom/bath suites on LEsperances lower level overlook the pool area. Each bedroom enjoys direct access to an exterior deck or patio and its own bath. Although LEsperance is ideally situated to capture refreshing tradewinds, the entire villa is air-conditioned with separately-controlled units for each room. On the pool deck youll find not only incredible views, but also a fully-equipped and shaded pool house with refrigerator, gas grill and full bath.

An extensive nature trail beckons you to explore the hundreds of diverse tropical plantings on this wonderful estate. A separate building houses your own work-out room with commercial-quality equipment. At dusk, when the sun sinks into the sea and the lights come up in Charlotte Amalie, youre in a front-row seat to enjoy the romantic vision of her twinkling lights from your dining table - its a view youll never forget, and which youll never want to leave. A small cottage on the far side of the property is occupied by LEsperances two caretakers and their well-mannered dog, but your privacy at this electronically gated, exclusive 5-acre retreat is always assured. Five stars!
