Castle Owned By Countess Hits The Market In St. Croix for $15M
Bulgarian countess, Nadia de Navarro-Farber, and her husband had purchased a prominent mountaintop property that overlooks the northern and southern coasts of St. Croix. The Countess had been enchanted by the extraordinary 360-degree coastal views, and so she set forth to design and build her fairytale Caribbean castle. That castle –The Castle St. Croix- is now up for sale and featured in Christie’s International Real Estate.
The Castle St. Croix is a beachfront estate with stunning views of the Caribbean blue waters, has 6 bedrooms, 6 full baths, approximately 102 acres, and an asking price of $15,000,000 USD.
An Expansive Estate
Nestled on a mountaintop, The Castle St. Croix is a fortified residence fit for a noblewoman and the faux-Moorish architecture and European design mirror the luxurious influences of the Countess’ homeland, as well as her worldly travels. The estate itself, which includes the Castle and the gatekeeper’s cottage, comprise nearly 10,000 interior square feet. Despite having completed construction of the Castle in 1989, the Countess and her husband continued to incrementally acquire acreage, and eventually assembled this vast 102-acre estate consisting of rolling hillsides and beautiful gardens to envelop their secluded hilltop.
This area once housed a marine lab and is complete with roads and infrastructure that loop into a large flat plain, partially zoned for a possible commercial real estate venture. The Countess’ estate is considered St. Croix’s most desirable location because the estate’s sandy, palm-lined beach is adjacent to the yacht club and the estate’s sheltered blue lagoon is just opposite the spectacular Buck Island National Park.
A Real Estate Opportunity of A Lifetime
The Government of the Virgin Islands has implemented significant tax credits and deductions for potential investors, thereby creating a premier real estate development opportunity in St. Croix that will undoubtedly entice the proper investor to come to the island.
The Castle St. Croix sits quietly and awaits its next owner and for that new owner’s vision to unfold: whether it is as a luxurious island retreat or some other highly anticipated real estate venture. For more information about this property and to request a viewing, please see here.
