This romantic cabin latched onto the hillside overlooking Brewer’s Bay evokes childhood memories of backyard adventures and dreams of discovery. The grown-up version is crafted of South American hardwoods and modern fixtures, supported by an acre of tropical rainforest and granite boulders. While in the cabin, senses will be filled by sea and sky, jungle and forest, while the practical will understand that they are in an exclusive neighborhood just 12 minutes from the center of Road Town.
The cabin was built as the guest house for a larger main residence. Boasting a small sleeping accommodation, deck with outdoor kitchen, and a bathroom, the home is ideal for a young couple or a single professional who appreciates living with nature. Treehouse has full access to utilities and all the modern facilities that one could desire, the setting and design evoke an off-the-grid - and off-the-ground! – lifestyle. While the accommodation may be considered spartan, it is clear that the property is meant to focus on an outdoor lifestyle, and the design and execution fits the vision perfectly.
All of the structural elements of the cabin and the extensive decks and flying walkways are constructed of Ipe, a South American hardwood renowned for its strength and structural integrity. The choice of this rare timber and the expert design confirm the long life of the cabin, even through the difficult storm year of 2017. This confirms that the right design and the right choice of materials will bring longevity to the finished home.
The property stretches along the hillside and is graced by a hardwood walkway with a couple of seating areas and platforms. There is room in this area for another cabin to be built. But the real promise that this parcel holds is that the foundation has been cut for a larger home to be built, so a new owner only needs to bring plans and the work team and the full potential of the property can be realized.
