A unique hilltop estate with 3.1 acres of land, planted throughout with local fruit trees and flowering shrubs, Norgrove House is a standout property for those who love a view. 360 degrees of scenery include all of Beef island, the Camanoes, Guana and the Sir Francis Drake Channel. The large and very private property will inspire dreams of a Caribbean Estate all to itself, with beaches, shopping, marinas and the International Airport just a few steps away. In the past, Norgrove House was owned by a local landscaping magnate, and it shows. Groves of mature fruit trees are waiting for a guiding hand to make them bear as they once did. While strolling through the gardens of this property, take in the views to the North and the Atlantic ocean, or the Sir Francis Drake Channel to the South. To the east, the long sand stretch of Long Bay beckons the beachcomber, while to the North the protected flats of Beef Island Pass will seduce the fishing sportsman in the family. Solid construction of steel-reinforced concrete and a recent roof renovation provide the framework for storm-rated windows and glass doors all around the roomy accommodations. While tradewind breezes cool the home, there is air conditioning installed for those few still days in the summertime. The open-plan kitchen area is fitted with modern appliances and leads directly to the dining/living room with vaulted ceilings and ceiling fans. Dine indoors or out on the covered terrace, or have a picnic on the lawn. For the times when a few friends are coming over, there is ample parking at the end of the long private driveway that leads up to the house through a lane of bougainvillea and hibiscus. There is a two-bedroom air-conditioned apartment downstairs that can be rented out for income or kept ready for visiting friends and family. The property has an auxiliary generator, town water, and utilities. With this large parcel, a second or even third villa could be built on the estate, or a tennis court, swimming pavilion, or any other improvement that would create an exceptional estate for a proud owner. Norgrove House is part of an estate that ensures that the neighbourhood will remain strictly residential for the generations to come.
