One of the finest existing old Nevis homes, the Lambsdown main house and its newer sister dwelling, the garden cottage, are wonderful examples of traditional West Indian wooden homes, but with all up to date modern amenities one would expect in a holiday home. Both homes include air conditioning, wireless internet access, with a full kitchen in the main house and a smart French kitchenette in the adjacent cottage. Lovely gardens surround both quaint structures. Both buildings come fully furnished with period pieces. A swimming pool and shady porches provide breezy views of the Caribbean. Property is located on one of the most desirable roads on Nevis, right at the access to a nature trail leading to old sugar ruins. Truly a unique property.

Description: The property includes a generator, large outdoor barbeque, fountain and extensive potted plant collection. There is an option, perhaps for the buyer interested operating a charming Bed and Breakfast, to also purchase the adjacent Firefly Cottages, two-fully independent one bedroom units with kitchenettes and a shared pool, all tucked into a lush ravine-side hideaway where monkeys scamper about the porch side trees. Totally surrounded by green but with sea views, these cottages are new and updated structures, yet they maintain the quaint Nevisian style and charm. Price for the Firefly cottages available on request.
