- Guest cottages
- Historic sugar mill
- Mature tropical gardens
Beautifully preserved Georgian plantation house set on 12 acre private estate.
Mercers Creek Estate is a secluded 12 acre estate featuring a historical plantation house, sugar mill, garden cottages and incredible potential for future development.
The House is believed to have been designed and built in 1670 by Philip Watkins. On his instruction, it was created in the shape of a ship using solid white stone from the Cotswolds, brought in on galleons which then plied the trade routes between the West Indies and Great Britain.
The property is complete with the majority of original features and is surrounded by mature tropical gardens boasting avenues of palm and mahogany trees.
The Estate House is thoughtfully designed to take advantage of the island breezes, a cool sanctuary from the Antiguan sunshine. Upon entering at ground level, there is a spacious drawing room, dining room and a large & well-equipped kitchen including the beautiful original fireplace and chimney. Moving through to the back of the house you will find the Principal and second ensuite bedrooms. The lower ground floor of the main house features an additional 2 ensuite bedrooms and a games/entertainment room. Each bedroom is equipped with air conditioning.
The property also includes 4 newly built guest suites which are situated perfectly in the grounds below the swimming pool. Also in the grounds to the Estate are a 1-bedroom Garden House complete with a bathroom and kitchen and a 2-bedroom Garden House with a kitchen, bathroom and sitting room, both of which offer fantastic rental potential or private guest accommodation. The grounds also boast a fantastic swimming pool with pool house and a beautiful short walk down to the water's edge which is equipped with a jetty. Furthermore, there is a large barn that has huge potential to be converted into further accommodation.
The estate is blissfully private and isolated from the rest of Antigua but still only a 20 minute drive to the airport, beaches, local shops and amenities.
There are further land plots also available, waterfront and in land. This gives the future owner the exciting opportunity to extend the estate to sit in 26 acres for further privacy.
Location
30 minutes from International Airport
30 minutes from World UNESCO Site of Nelson's Dockyard
