About this property

Ard Na Mara,"high above the sea", perched high above Cruz Bay with sunset views.

Sitting high above Great Cruz Bay and the western Side of St John. Aptly named, Ard na Mara, "High above the Sea", is a brand new luxury home at the very top of Virgin Grand Estates.


This 4 bedroom home offers everything you need for the perfect vacation. This modern spin on an island traditional has rich mahogany and tropical woods, natural stone and other natural elements that are warm and inviting.


A breezy design brings the exterior in with large covered and open decks, giving guests multiple gathering areas for large groups.


A beautiful mahogany kitchen with state of the art stainless appliances, a seating bar opens into the great room with comfortable sofas and large flat screen TV. A communal dining table has room for everyone, and flows through multiple huge sliders out onto covered gallery and additional dining and seating, sits adjacent to the pool, accented by 2 whimsical sea turtle mosaics!


A lushly landscaped grassy yard sits between the pods and just behind the pool, and has a wonderful outdoor kitchen and grill, and lots of lounge and play space.


The house is laid out in 3 separate structures, connected via the pool and gallery so the bedrooms offer easy convenience but are private and quiet.


The master bedroom is located above the great room via interior stairs and is big and beautiful with a great en-suite bath and a large private deck... a perfect place to escape with a book or to just watch the stars before bed.


There are an additional 2 king bedroom suites that are also large and lovely with beautiful en-suite baths. The fourth bedroom is much more than that - actually a small apartment with its own kitchen, living space and queen bedroom and bath. This room is perfect for those wanting a little more independence, or is perfect for grandparents, teens or even nannies.


Every one of the rooms has views to the west and the spellbinding views of the Caribbean Sea, including those world famous sunsets!


Ard na Mara sits on a very large gently sloping double lot surrounded by beautiful gardens, and it's not unusual to find one of our Caribbean key deer grazing below. The location in the venerable Virgin Grand Estates is perfect, high and quiet in an upscale neighborhood with incredible views, yet a quick 5-7 minute drive to Cruz Bay and the beaches immediately beyond.


This gorgeous new home is sure to be a visitor favorite, so book early!
