Ouje Mango Villa 1801

Four Seasons Resort Estates

Set amid 3.75 very private acres, this unique Cape Dutch-style home stands out above all others on the pristine island of Nevis. Reminiscent of the gabled winery homes in South Africa, the exterior is a coral stone rendered vernacular finish suited to the climate. The decorative plaster exterior elements were produced by artisans brought in from Curacao in the Dutch Caribbean. Interior by Spencer-Churchill Designs Ltd. of London.
