The Home

This extraordinary property is located on a ridge 45 feet above the Caribbean. The views of both oceans are truly breathtaking. From your large windows and extensive decks, you can watch the sun rise over the Atlantic and set over the Caribbean.

Buttonwood Reserve is situated on 50 acres, with beaches on both sides of the property. On the Atlantic side, Buttonwood has a world-class, 3-mile-long pink-sand beach, pristine, without a single house on it. This Atlantic side beach is accessed via our private, golf-carts only driveway. The property comes with a fleet of golf carts. This miles-long beach is virtually private for us, because the only other access is a rough and little used jeep track half a mile to the south. On the Caribbean side of our property, almost in your front yard, is a second beach, which has excellent snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding, and fishing. This beach is small and rather rocky, so not so aesthetic, but it's as calm as a lake most of the time and perfect for the above activities.

If you're not in the mood for a swim in the ocean, slip into our resort-style pool. This beautiful landscaped pool is heated for comfortable swimming year-round.

Buttonwood Reserve comes with golf carts, kayaks, paddle board, and bikes, and we have just completed our new pickleball court! Other amenities include AC throughout and ceiling fans. To ensure uninterrupted power, Buttonwood has a full solar array, back-up batteries to power the entire property, and a connection to the grid in case we ever need it.

WE HAVE ALSO JUST INSTALLED SUPER-FAST FREE STARLINK INTERNET!

We have just installed a mini-gym equipped with a multifunction Smith machine cage, an Olympic weight rack, dip station, and a cable routed pulley system. Guests also have access to dumbbells and a fitness/yoga mat. This is an open-air gym, fully roofed with 3 walls.

Buttonwood Reserve consists of eight 2-bedroom, 2-bath condos, and the Main Lodge, which is the central gathering place for the property. The Main Lodge includes a large ocean-view living area, dining area that can seat up 30+, an extra-large kitchen with two ranges, two ovens, and two refrigerators, and a vast deck overlooking the Caribbean. The Main Lodge also has a master bedroom with a king bed and an ocean view, one bath, and two sleeping lofts suitable for teenagers.

Each condo at Buttonwood features a large great room with an 8-foot sliding glass door with spectacular Caribbean views. The slider opens onto a large deck furnished for lounging or dining while watching the sun set over the sea. The great room includes a living area with flat-screen satellite TV, a dining area with seating for six, and a modern, open-plan, luxurious kitchen finished in stainless steel and black granite. All areas have magnificent ocean views in every direction.

The master bedroom of each condo features a large upholstered window seat with panoramic views of the Caribbean, a perfect spot to relax with a book or a morning coffee. The master is furnished with a king bed and equipped with an en-suite full bath. The master has a private door leading to the deck.

The guest bedroom of each condo also features a large window seat. The guest bedrooms of the upper level units enjoy spectacular Atlantic Ocean views. The guest bedroom has a full en-suite bath (which can be accessed from the hall as well). The guest bedroom is furnished with twin beds that can be converted into a king.

Buttonwood is located just one mile from the village of James Cistern, which has grocery stores, restaurants, a liquor store, and town dock where you can at times purchase fresh fish. Three excellent restaurants are within walking distance of Buttonwood, including LeoRose, Delish, and Mels' Snack Shack. Famous Stubbs Barbecue is two miles up the road.

The island's main town, Governors Harbour, is a 15 minute drive. The main airport is a 45 minute drive from the property. A small airport is just 5 minutes away. Governors Harbour has restaurants, grocery stores, several gift shops, and a lovely collection of historic homes overlooking the harbor. Live music is available most evenings at one of the restaurants or little resorts.
