Pool House Extravaganza, Little Harbour

This house for sale in Anguilla is unlike anything else on island. A hedonist’s dream, Adagio is a two-storeyed building oriented around the all-out top-floor master suite, which serves as the bridge to this fantasy-ship.

Totaling three bedrooms in all, Adagio sits on a pretty half acre of land at the top of a modest hillock, which yet affords irresistible views across the shallow waters of Little Harbour, over the channel to the hills of Saint Martin and along Anguilla’s southern coastline.

The lower level boasts two self-contained apartments, each with their own bathroom, kitchen, living room and bedroom. The two apartments connect through a brief corridor, which could easily be closed off for additional independence.

Outside stairs lead to the upper level terrace, home to the tip of the indoor/outdoor pool – an arrow-shaped shaft that cuts through the main nave of the house, splitting it into two halves. One side features the kitchen, bar and dining area, while the other has the recreation/living space. At the back of the pool three steps on either flank lead to the elevated master suite, while a small waterway beneath them connects with the bathroom.

The master suite – shaped like a diamond, with panoramic wrap-around windows and a built-in bed sitting right in the middle – is a sight to behold. The vanity behind the bed doubles up as a desk from which you can preside over the bed, the long pool, past the French doors and the outdoor gallery to the deep blue sea and beyond. Meanwhile, both sides of the suite open up to two large private areas, home to the hot-tub, a vast walk-in closet, a shower room and two separate bathrooms.

Special accents around the property contribute to the one-of-a-kind feel to this villa, including a native stone fountain and a traditional oven reconditioned into an outdoor pizza oven, although both of them will require repairing.

Conceived to impress, Adagio has visibly suffered from wear and tear for many years, making ample cosmetic work necessary to haul it back from its current state of disrepair. Having said that, the property has enormous potential, in particular as a rental unit targeted to resellers who appreciate high levels of privacy around their celebrations.

Adagio is immediately neighbored by another seafront fixer-upper, Soto, a three-bedroom villa that sits practically on the warm and shallow waters of the inlet that is Little Harbour. Both properties can be purchased together with a full acre of land.
