About this home
Estate Lucky Bottom: A rare piece of history in Cane Bay, this extraordinary 17.88-acre estate features a stately Greathouse with a saltwater pool and sweeping Caribbean Sea views, blending historic preservation with modern island luxury. The 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath residence, inspired by Danish colonial architecture, showcases Brazilian cherry and travertine floors, a solar power system with backup generator, and fine craftsmanship throughout. Behind the double gated entry—one at the road and another near the garage—beautifully landscaped grounds, with fruit trees, unfold across rolling hills, surrounding rare 1820 sugar-mill ruins with an intact animal slue—the only one of its kind on St. Croix. The grounds are abundant with mature specimen trees—mahogany, baobab, kapok, coconut palms, and and fruiting varieties like guavaberry, banana, and Barbados cherrycreating a lush tropical landscape. The entire property is comprised of six separate parcels, offering complete control over privacy, access, and views across the estate. Ideally located near Cane Bay's beaches, diving, and dining, Estate Lucky Bottom offers timeless history, privacy, and sustainable island elegance. Designed by historic architect George Ashley and thoughtfully expanded by the current architect-owner, the 7,821 SF residence unites historic reference with modern comfort. Solidly built by Northshore Partners in 2004, with reinforced poured-concrete foundations, a bond-beam metal roof secured with double hurricane clips, and Miami-Dade impact glass, the Greathouse was created for beauty, longevity, and strength. Approaching the Greathouse from the seaside, welcoming arm stairsreplicated from Danish colonial architectureare flanked by two 30-foot majestic foxtail palms. This grand staircase centers perfectly on the 1820 sugar mill located near the sea, creating a visual and historic axis that anchors the estate. This attention to detail continues throughout the property in subtle and not-so-subtle historic elements, blending architectural authenticity with refined island living. Inside, every detail reflects craftsmanship and care. Tall French louvered glass doors welcome cooling breezes and natural light into the open living, dining, and kitchen spaces. The gourmet kitchen features a custom cooktop surround that is creatively constructed from Moroccan ballast brick and a reclaimed wood beam from a barn in South Carolina, complemented by locally crafted Spanish-cedar cabinetry. Appliances include a Wolf gas cooktop, dual built-in gas ovens, KitchenAid dishwasher and microwave, and 60 inches of refrigeration with dual icemakers. A soaring cathedral ceiling with exposed cypress rafters crowns the great room. The master bedroom is a spacious 735 SF, en suite, including a large walk-in closet by Nancy Proctor and a convenient laundry room, all containing custom cabinetry designed and fabricated on island. Large glass and louvered French doors on three of the four walls encircle the poster bed, opening broadly to welcome the breezes and invite the twinkle of the night sky. Common to the architecture of the period, the ceiling is an inverted tray made of natural beaded cypress. A private office is included in the suite, creating a perfect retreat within the home. Modern systems ensure efficiency and peace of mind: 27 solar panels and an 18 KW diesel generator with automatic transfer and a 100-gallon diesel tank for seamless power. The main house and the primary wing each have independent whole-house UV and tri-cartridge water filtration systems. The primary wing also includes its own 12,000-gallon cistern, while an additional 3,000-gallon irrigation cistern supports the lush tropical landscaping. Three central A/C units for comfort and traditional wooden West Indian shutters that add charm while providing reliable storm protection. The saltwater pool, resurfaced in fiberglass and served by a variable-speed pump, ensures low-maintenance enjoyment year-round. A portion of the property surrounding the residence is enclosed with weather-resistant aluminum "wrought-iron" fencingperfect for pets and children. The manicured, fenced yard offers multiple outdoor seating areas to enjoy the breezes and panoramic Caribbean Sea views. A spacious three-car garage provides ample storage for vehicles, tools, and island toys, while three tiled storage rooms, attic space, and a loft within the garage add even more functionality and organization. Among the estate's most fascinating treasures are its original 18th- and 19th-century plantation ruins: the 1820 sugar mill with intact animal slue, an ox mill, towering smokestack, sugar factory with rum-still cistern, and three copper boiling vats, believed to be the last in situ "coppers" in the U.S. Virgin Islands. These remarkable remnants of the historic Cane Bay plantation create a tangible link to the island's pasthistory you can live among. Located at the threshold of St. Croix's lush rainforest, the north shore reveals sweeping views down the coastline to scenic Ham's Bluff and its lighthouse, with sunsets and starry skies that truly offer both the sun and the moon. Just minutes from Cane Bay Beach's world-class diving, beachside dining, and snorkeling along the reef, and a short drive to Christiansted, Estate Lucky Bottom offers the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. As the sun sets beyond the sea and the sugar mill glows in twilight, it's easy to understand why estates of this caliber are found only once in a generation. Estate Lucky Bottom is more than a homeit's a living legacy, where architecture, history, and nature unite to tell the enduring story of St. Croix's Caribbean beauty.
