A lot of house for your money - and a swimming pool to boot: this countryside home is located amidst the hills of Forestière, twenty minutes' drive from Castries and Rodney Bay. With glorious mountain views, it is a true retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city, while still being fairly easy to reach from both north and the south of the capital. The property consists of two floors, each floor housing a fully self-contained 3-bedroom apartment, so the potential for temporary or permanent residence on one floor, and simultaneous long/short-term rental of the other floor is an obvious advantage, making this not only a great (vacation) home but a potential income-earner as well. In all, there is 3,268 sq ft of living space. The house is twenty-one years old, of sound construction and well-maintained. The ground floor has a large, open-plan kitchen/dining/living area, making this a light and airy space. Off to one side are three bedrooms, one of which has an ensuite bathroom while the other two share one common bathroom. The top floor can be entered via the kitchen, which leads to a hallway. Off this are located the dining and living room to one side, and three bedrooms to the other (one of which is used as an office). Two of the bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms, whilst the remaining one has a separate bathroom. All bedrooms open out onto a balcony that wraps around two sides of the house, and overlooks the swimming pool and pool-deck, which are strategically located in the garden to make the most of the lush vegetation: heliconias, huge cashew and lemon trees, as well as mature avocado, grafted mango and tamarind trees. This is a semi-rural part of the island, with a former banana plantation bounding the property on one side. A wooden gazebo in the garden adds a little romance to this property. The land is fully fenced and gated, with a one-car car port with a detached garage/toolshed and a basement underneath the house that provides two additional storage rooms. There is also a 4,000-gallon back-up water cistern underneath the house. The property sits on 9,644 sq ft of land and roads run along the front and side of the garden, but one of the roads cuts through a corner of the lot so that in effect, there is approximately 8,500 sq ft of useable land belonging to the house.
