Miramar - St. Croix

Miramar is a one-of-a-kind luxurious mansion in a private estate perched on a bluff overlooking the Caribbean Sea. The former Appleton Estate, featured in Elite Traveler's Top Ten Villas in the Caribbean, is a villa-mansion located in a most extraordinary seafront setting and is custom designed to luxuriously integrate comfort and elegance. Miramar is found in the beautiful Estate Solitude on the northeast shore of St.Croix.

A lavish living room area features a 70-inch LED television with surround sound. The Great Room also features a formal dining area, an 18-foot granite-topped wet bar with an ice maker and beverage coolers, which looks out to sea, and an impressive gourmet kitchen. There's also a Yamaha electronic piano for your entertainment.

The kitchen contains black granite countertops and custom cabinetry, well designed and complete with warming drawers. It is impressively equipped with top Wolf, 2 Sub-Zeros, Asko appliances and a bounty of cook's tools. Just off the dining area and kitchen, through arched doorways, are the powder room and laundry.

Miramar’s heated infinity pool and sun terrace are found outside the French doors on either side of the bar. Cushioned patio furniture, chairs, tables, and a large coral-stone outdoor dining table are placed under a columned shady covered area, perfect for alfresco dining and cocktails with music, and a stone and stainless steel gas grill.

There's also abundant space to relax outside the shade, on cushioned pool chairs and lounges. Sunbathers will relish under the blue sky facing the blue sea, with unparalleled views of the famous Buck Island in the near distance, and the parade of passing pelicans, yachts and kite surfers.

Miramar's east wing is the air-conditioned king master suite, a spacious room with a sitting area and more delightful ocean and Buck Island views. The en suite bath of this lavish room features separate 'his and hers' vanities and enclosed water closets, dressing areas, and custom walk-in closets with many drawers and endless space. 'His and hers' areas are separated by a central glassed-in shower and a jacuzzi bathtub. French doors lead directly to the pool terrace outside.

Stairs descend from the master suite within Miramar's east wing to two king bedrooms with satellite HDTV and a large bedroom with two queen poster beds, all air-conditioned. Both of the two king bedrooms offer delightful sea views and in-suite baths and/or showers with separate water closets. The first king bed has an inlaid wood headboard, and the second king bed features a scrolled metal bedstead. The three bedrooms share a two-level patio just outside their French doors, overlooking a varied and picturesque arrangement of native flowers and plants, as well as the clear blue sea and striking views of Buck Island.

A few more stairs bring you down to Miramar's air-conditioned gym with satellite 4K Ultra HDTV; cushioned rubber flooring and a NordicTrack treadmill, elliptical strider and recumbent bicycle; free weights and versatile exercise bench. Once again, you'll hardly notice time passing with the striking ocean and Buck Island views before you, and satellite TV.

In the west wing of Miramar’s main level is the second king master bedroom. This suite is air-conditioned with an expansive ocean view and features a sunken living area with satellite TV, and French doors, which open directly to the pool and terrace. The en-suite bath has double vanity sinks, a glassed-in shower stall, a Jacuzzi tub and a separate water closet.

Adjacent to the second master suite is the library/office, an air-conditioned and handsome room in which to work, if you must, or to relax and read. A generous library of books and a cozy sitting area is available for one's leisure.
