Sugar Water, Apes Hill, Barbados

 Sugar Water sits on 25,340 square feet of land with stunning views over the fairway and countryside. The house itself is 4,634 sq ft.

Sugar Water incorporates some of the most progressive solar equipment available on today’s market and offers a total 4,634 square feet of living space, designed to take advantage of the cooling breezes. LED lighting throughout creates ambience while ensuring energy efficiency.

The spacious master suite overlooks the pool and enjoys countryside views, while each of the three ensuite guest bedrooms has a private patio. An interesting feature of the open plan kitchen is the butcher’s block countertop, salvaged from a mahogany tree uprooted during 2010’s Hurricane Tomas. The thoughtful design creates a seamless flow between kitchen, living and dining areas and out to the pool deck.

Wine aficionados will love the wine cave located just off the kitchen. Yet another highlight is the thriving and varied organic garden, where pineapple, eggplant, citrus varieties and zucchini grow – all without chemicals or pesticides.

An additional 3,225 square feet of space at the basement level lends itself well to use as additional guest accommodation, plus a family room, home office or fitness room. The property is completely enclosed, with gated entry.
