Ambiancein Terres Basses, St Martin

This extraordinary estate-style villa enchants from the moment you pass through the gate. A palm-lined drive welcomes you to a private courtyard and lush garden. Beyond the front door lies a stunning home with one of the island's most dazzling ocean views. Panoramic vistas flow from every room and terrace, painting a picture of endless blue. An expansive stretch of sapphire sea is framed by the villa's gardens and the rich blue sky. The large contoured pool, which seems to merge with the lawn, adds its own crystal blue tones to the scene.

The house is open, airy, and spacious - a perfect retreat for an extended family, weddings, or company getaways. It has everything you need to enjoy your day from dawn until dusk. The decor is sleek, elegant, and contemporary, yet never boring. The large interior living room, perfect for conversation or entertainment, tastefully combines natural elements and rich tones: dark wood and teak, wicker, cream, and vibrant pops of color. Pocket doors vanish into the walls, enhancing the stunning views. Though sea views and breezes abound, the great room is fully air-conditioned.

The interior dining room sits adjacent to a unique kitchen area. Divided into two rooms, half the space is a gorgeous chef's kitchen with a flat-screen TV, while the other half is a fabulous gathering space with a bar and seating. A cozy al fresco dining area is nestled in the courtyard just off the bar. Deep covered terraces and open sundecks surround the house, the main pool, and a lap pool, offering ample comfortable lounges and dining spaces.

The four equally sized bedrooms are spacious and inviting. Two are located on each end of the villa. The decor creates a serene atmosphere, blending designer touches and art with neutral tones of beige, brown, black, grey, and white, accented by rich pops of color. Each room features private seating, sea views, and beautiful spa-style bathrooms with travertine, stone, and wood finishes. Three bathrooms boast private outdoor showers; one offers a sea view.

Despite its seclusion, you are close to amenities. A short drive takes you to Plum Bay Beach and Baie Nettlé's new culinary stars - Le Sand, Dreams, and Mezza Luna. You are five minutes from the airport. In ten minutes, you reach the charming French capital of Marigot, with its restaurants, shops, galleries, historic buildings, and Creole Market. A 25-minute drive brings you to Grand Case and Philipsburg’s shopping haven.
