Villa Del Mare provides the perfect blend of Location, Luxury & Lifestyle combing all that is best in the Cayman Islands Real Estate market. A picturesque beach front luxury estate home on Grand Cayman’s Rum Point Drive, Villa Del Mare sits on an elevated area known locally as Bowse Bluff, it enjoys its own secluded beach cove with spectacular views across white sands and the crystal clear reef protected waters of the Caribbean Sea. The architecture of Villa Del Mare is in part reminiscent of a classic colonial Caribbean style whilst the white washed finished and red barrel tile roof gives it a definite Mediterranean air. Borrowing words from Axel Munthe when describing his Villa San Michele on the beautiful Italian island of Capri the wall plaque adjacent to the front door encapsulates the philosophy and feel around which this house was built:
I want my house open to sun,
And wind and the voice of the sea Like a Greek temple,
and Light, Light, light, everywhere.
Accessed through private electronically operated security gates, the home is gained along a drive way the length of which builds a sense of anticipation whilst providing privacy from the road, at over 450ft the lot is unusually deep for Cayman, whilst the double width of 200ft increases the sense of grandeur and gives due deference to the stately proportions of this luxury beach front Villa. Mirrored around a delightful feature water fountain are two sweeping stair cases that elevate you to the formal entrance of this beach front home, which would be incomplete if not for the custom, built pool in the court yard, which sets a tone for the house of stately elegance with a large dash of relaxed beach front fun. Upon entering this Cayman Islands luxury beach front home you are greeted with a colonnaded area which leads directly into the Great room, which is open to the second floor with twenty five feet high wooden beamed ceilings, and a grand centre piece fire place, the only element that could possibly draw attention away from this is the panoramic ocean view, which is even more greatly appreciated from the screened in patio, which combined with the high ceilings allows the house to remain naturally ventilated and cool during even the summer months. The capacious screened patio allows plenty of space for dining or simply relaxing and enjoying the ocean view, it also gives access to the rear terrace and beach. The rest of the living space on this level is of a semi-open plan design with a breakfast bar area connecting the Great room to the large kitchen, adjacent on either of which are two dining areas one formal the other relaxed. Behind the kitchen is a conveniently located utility room. There are two bedrooms on this level to the rear of the property each making the most the ocean views the master bedroom on the East wing and the second on the west, each has it on ensuite bathroom. Completing this level at the front of the house is a well appointed home office. An elevator gives easy access to each of the three floor levels from the garage and self contained guest quarters on the ground level through to the third floor. The third floor provides a further four bedrooms each with ensuite bathrooms. The east and west wings are connected externally at the front and rear of the property by large balconies that provide extra areas for your continued enjoyment of the out doors which can only be beaten by taking in the scenery from the roof top parapet. The property is being sold turn key: fully furnished and fully equipped complete with boat.
