Capstone House – Frigate Bay – 2.75 Acres

Think glitz and glamour and Miami comes to mind, and if you’re looking for the Caribbean equivalent then St Kitts is a strong contender. There’s a superyacht marina, a spectacular Tom McBroom designed 18-hole golf course, and multiple ultra-luxury resorts. 

Add into that heady mix of luxurious lures the stunning Capstone House, an art deco masterpiece straight out of Miami and set in 2.75 acres on a hill overlooking glamorous Frigate Bay. On the market for the first time since it was created four decades ago, this unique home is an homage to the elegant decadence and décor of Scott Fitzgerald and PG Wodehouse novels. 

It’s been standing empty for some years and needs a revamp: new owners will be taking on a four bedroom, three bathroom shell that needs a new lease of life. There’s also a two bedroom, one bathroom guest cottage in the grounds, an ideal opportunity for an investor looking to generate a rental income. 

The views and acreage the property affords are unparalleled in this part of St Kitts. Elevated and set slightly apart, Capstone House takes advantage of both the breeze and the views that reach out over the Atlantic. Everything from the bold geometric shapes to the simple symmetry of the clean-cut design are iconic, making this a unique and enduring work of art that just so happens to also be a luxurious home. 

The buyer will be getting an extraordinary framework and starting point, with the space to expand and develop that even further. This would make an ideal venue for entertaining clients, provide a memorable backdrop to weddings and functions, or serve as the perfect family home with the cottage providing ideal guest accommodation.
