If you are looking for a peaceful, serene environment where you can fall asleep on the covered patio to the sound of birds chirping and very little else, then travel back in time with me to a superbly renovated and lovingly restored plantation home that sits 800 feet above sea level in the hills above Holetown. “Vaucluse House” has been carefully crafted and remodeled over 10 years. Beautiful hand made and hand painted furniture adorned with charming artifacts from the old sugar cane factory that forms part of this enchanting property have been painstakingly put together to fill the original rubble coral stone walls that have been repainted and rendered to offer a classic natural finish in this period home. The original pitch pine pickled floors, stone walls, fine hand-built furniture and original paintings give the property an authentic plantation feel that is captivating.

The kitchen boasts a built-in coal fire brick BBQ, a Vulcan Commercial 6 burner gas cooker and a Sub-Zero fridge freezer. The orchid includes avocados, mangoes, cherries, breadfruit, bananas, limes, golden apples and sour sop trees. 

Water used at the property is heated by the sun, irrigation for the plants is captured from the roof and a 35KW Generator is on hand to offer back up electrical supply should there be an interruption in service.

There are outbuildings on the property that have been converted by the owners, but they are on the other side of the old factory. 

The Vaucluse House is only 10 minutes away from the beach and the fine dining restaurants of the west coast, it is a true escape from the hustle and bustle of modern day life.
