Historic Shadwell Plantation Greathouse for Sale St. Kitts
Houses - Villas For Sale US$2,000,000.00
Shadwell Greathouse has an incredible history filled with royalty, pirates, treasure, rags to riches and so much more. The despite being the oldest standing stone foundation on the island, the house has only been owned by 3 families each one adding a bit of itself to the house and land and despite these renovations / additions the greathouse has been able to maintaining its original heritage and charm.
Though now the greathouse's primary use is commercial space - for offices, stores and the like - the greathouse has housed families throughout the years. The property as a whole even has a small farm and still even houses some residents in small cottages. The property is 3 acres of land with the greathouse sitting near the northern side of the lot. The 3 cottages are of different size and shaped and surround the greathouse but the amount of open land has ample space for expanding and contructing other cottages.
The greathouse itself has 2 patios, one on the main level and a second on the upstairs level just outside what used to be the master bedroom both of which face the south and have views of the airport, town and even Nevis. Despite the current state and use of the spaces upstairs, the greathouse has 4 huge rooms upstairs, 3 bathrooms throughout the greathouse, a laundry / tool shed. One of the cottages used to be a kitchen but had been converted into a studio quite some time ago, and the kitchen was then moved to an extension of the greathouse. Unfortunately, the counters and cabinets have been removed to make space for another office but all the piping and set up are still available to be converte back into a kitchen.
The back patio is a gathering spot for events, though used to be a large open dining area with exterior access to the top patio next to the master bedroom.
There are 3 small pond / fountains throughout the property which used to be home to small fish and water plantlife.
The largest of the cottages has its own private entrance from the north, a gate leading to the its garage from the east and a small space for a small studio.
The main hall used to be a dining room and living room but was converted into a hall for events and is now completely open. Due to the open concept, and that everything is built of wood, changing things to better suit your needs is an easy task.
This property would be great for a family to retire to or maybe someone to convert into a boutique hotel. The tranquility and peace of the area, the large open spaces, the gentle breeze all just add to the charm of the property. You won't want to leave.
