This unique estate in the British Virgin Islands is accented by beautiful waters and a pristine beach, creating an idyllic tropical experience. Set on a sprawling 1.35-acre parcel with private frontage on Long Bay Beach, the property features a main residence and a guest house to accommodate large families and a long guest list.

Passing through the entry gates emblazoned with the estate’s name—“Nevaeh” (heaven spelled backward)—provides a view of the residence that was built in 2010, inspired by the open layout of traditional Balinese homes. The architecture blends seamlessly into the lush, tropical setting, while the airy interior allows panoramic views of the beach and the water beyond. The two-story main residence has five bedrooms, three of which are “master”-sized, with one master suite and two guest bedrooms in the guest house, and an additional bedroom in the free-standing cabana.

Viewed from the beach, the estate is designed to provide an exemplary tropical island experience to the owners and their guests.

The main house’s living room can be opened to allow a grand view of the pool area. The eat-in kitchen with seating for six is well equipped to prepare meals for large groups. All of the bedrooms enjoy great views, while the first-level master suite bedroom deck provides access to a private swimming pool.

Rainy-day entertainment options include a home theatre with a 120-inch high-definition screen, a gym, and a golf simulator. Outside, the owners and guests can enjoy a rousing game of tennis on the artificial grass court, followed by a dip in the heated saltwater “vanishing edge” pool decorated with hand-crafted aqua glass tiles, relax in the adjacent hot tub that seats up to 12, or explore the grotto hidden behind a waterfall. The wooden pergola, beams, and accents work in concert with numerous stone carvings throughout the grounds to enhance the property’s tropical atmosphere. The property also has two golf carts to explore the island or head over to the nearby golf course.
