Set high above Crescent Bay within the prestigious Ocean Ridge Private Estate, The Winchester is an architect-designed luxury villa offering sweeping 180-degree panoramic views across Bequia’s north-eastern coastline and the Grenadine islands beyond.

Designed by award-winning London architects Kilburn Nightingale, this elegant contemporary property combines privacy, refined modern design, and relaxed Caribbean living. Fully furnished and turnkey, The Winchester represents a rare opportunity to acquire a standout villa in one of Bequia’s most exclusive residential enclaves.

Design & Architecture

The Winchester is a beautifully proportioned contemporary home, thoughtfully positioned to maximise views, privacy, and cooling trade winds. Clean architectural lines, polished porcelain tiles, and floor-to-ceiling glazing create light-filled interiors that flow seamlessly into expansive outdoor living spaces.

Designed for both comfort and ease of maintenance, the villa balances modern European refinement with a distinctly tropical sensibility.

Main House

The upper floor features a generous open-plan living, dining, and kitchen space, framed by floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that open fully onto a large terrace overlooking the pool, gardens, and Crescent Bay below.

The kitchen is fully equipped with premium Bosch appliances and includes a distinctive Scandinavian-style cold store, ideal for island living, entertaining and ensuring one has enough produce sourced for important occasions.

On the lower level, two spacious air-conditioned bedrooms open onto a shaded verandah with direct access to the infinity pool and sun deck. One bedroom features an ensuite bathroom and dressing room, while the second is served by a large shower room and adjacent storage. All bedrooms enjoy large glazed doors, ceiling fans, and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape.

Guest House

The detached guest house offers a generously sized ensuite bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a built-in refrigerator, and its own ocean-facing balcony. Sliding glass doors allow for seamless indoor-outdoor living, with easy access to the pool and gardens — ideal for guests or rental use.

Outdoor Living

Outdoor spaces are central to the experience of The Winchester, designed to make full use of its elevated position and remarkable views.

An infinity-edge swimming pool is complemented by a spacious sun deck, outdoor bar, built-in barbecue area, and outside shower. Landscaped tropical gardens surround the property, with exterior lighting throughout and an established orchard featuring mango, guava, banana, avocado, cherry, lime, passion fruit, wax apple, and almond trees. Plans are in place for expanded herb and vegetable gardens.

Sustainability, Security & Infrastructure

The property has been designed with sustainability, resilience, and long-term comfort in mind. Features include solar hot water, photovoltaic panels powering the pool system, a water-recycling plant for garden irrigation, substantial rainwater storage, and a backup generator.

Security is comprehensive, with a fully monitored alarm system, video intercom, remote-controlled electric gates, and a private driveway with carport and turning area.

Location & Lifestyle

Ocean Ridge is widely regarded as one of Bequia’s most covenanted private estate, ensuring architectural harmony, protected views, and long-term value. Elevated above Crescent Beach and Sugar Reef, the estate enjoys peace, privacy, and uninterrupted vistas across the Atlantic Ocean and the Grenadines, including Balliceaux, Battowia, and Mustique.

Crescent Beach and the Firefly Hotel are just a walk away, while Port Elizabeth remains easily accessible within a comfortable ride of 10 minutes.

Investment Appeal

With its turnkey condition, strong rental flexibility, and refined architectural pedigree, The Winchester is equally suited as a full-time residence, a high-end vacation rental, or a lock-and-leave Caribbean retreat. It stands as one of the most compelling contemporary villas currently available in Bequia.
