North Calibogue Cay $2,290,000

One of the island’s most esteemed addresses, this home explodes with attention to detail, yet is the epitome of understated beauty. The owners of this house used the footprint of the former house to rebuild, reconfigure and add square footage to this Calibogue Cay dream home in 2002.

Upon entry into the courtyard filled with a variety of robust palms and tropical plantings, the iron gate is flanked by tabby columns. The Savannah brick steps lead you to a gabled porch and handsome mahogany/glass front door. Inside the two-story foyer, the rich Honduran heart of pine floors extend throughout the downstairs, allowing the rooms to melt into one another. Interior French doors and columns delineate the downstairs floor plan. The kitchen, which opens into the family room, is appointed with premium stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops, glass paned cabinets, an island which houses the wine cooler and a separate pantry which is generously sized. A comfortable West Indies feel is imparted with an earth tone paint scheme, a soapstone bar countertop, oversized moulding, crisp trim and extensive millwork/cabinetry. The living room plays host to a brick masonry fireplace with a remarkable custom-designed mantle, flanked with striking columnar inlays and a Clere Story Dormer which creates great angles and diffuses light. Seagrass flooring in the living room is an exquisite element in the initial impression as one prepares to absorb the ambiance of this home.

The master bedroom overlooks the pool and beckons the first rays of sunshine over the creek each morning. Off the master suite, French doors open into a private study with built-in bookcases. The master bath floors, double vanity countertops and oversized shower are stone. This refreshing sanctuary is bright and generously proportioned. A striking custom staircase with wrought iron spindles leads you upstairs and across the flying bridge to three spacious bedrooms, all of which overlook the water, two being oversized. The second master suite offers a large bath with a jet tub and separate shower, as well as three closets for clothing and storage. The remaining two bedrooms enjoy privacy and retreat to the goings-on elsewhere and are accommodated by a separate bathroom.

In the rear of the home, light pours through four sets of french doors which summon you to the expansive 615+sf, high-polish Ironwood deck. This incredibly beautiful furniture-grade decking material begs for outside entertaining and delivers delightful views of the tidal creek, lushly landscaped backyard enclave and, not least, the heated and cooled kidney-shaped lagoon blue pool. The pool deck is of cast stone with custom coping and is designed in keeping with the sculptured lawn.

Grab your gear from the dedicated third bay/tackle room/shop of the garage and stroll a few steps to the 24’ floating dock; the tranquility of Calibogue Cay is beckoning you. Your boat is tied to the cleats ready to be freed—along with your obligations to the world.

8” Honduran heart pine flooring, plantation shutters, 45” refrigerator, Thermador, Grohe, Fisher-Paykel, aluminum courtyard fencing, custom millwork, brick fireplace, interior french doors and columns, Kalco bathroom lighting, Jado nickel faucets and cabinet pulls, oil-rubbed bronze door handles, and slate floors are but some of the interior refinements of this home. A manicured lawn, lush courtyard, oyster shell drive, two-car (three bay garage, one of which is a tackle room/workshop), pool and iron wood decking add to the exterior wows this home has to offer. This meticulously maintained home is 3,930+/- square feet and is offered for sale at $2,290,000.
