CONSTRUCTION NOTE: As of summer, 2010, The Preserve at Botany Bay has 4 new homes under construction. One is about half a mile away and over 2 ridges from Siren's Song, two are about 2 miles away from Siren's Song and the other building site is about 150 yards from Siren's Song. While you cannot see any of the sites from Siren's Song, you may hear noise from the closest site. According to the contractor, work with heavy machinery will be completed by summer 2011 and then the finish work will begin. Please inquire if you would like current details on this project
Siren's Song is located on its own acreage within the private Estate Botany Bay (375 acres of which is becoming The Preserve at Botany Bay, an exclusive five-star boutique resort and residential community). This beautiful villa overlooks colorful sunsets, long-distance ocean views and several outlaying islands and cays from its 3.3-acre hillside location on St. Thomas's unspoiled and peaceful West End, and is situated about a mile from the future resort.
On the west side of the villa's main level is a well-equipped gourmet kitchen with two refrigerators. A breakfast bar divides the kitchen from the dining area which seats fourteen (14) people around a large teak table and five (5) at the bar comfortably. To the right of the kitchen and dining areas, doors lead out to a garden and lawn area with a gas grill and tables for alfresco dining for twelve (12). On the main level's east side is the powder room and the living area set with four white-slip covered comfy sofas and a media center. Just beyond this living area, an archway leads to two air-conditioned bedrooms: one of the king suites has a romantic four-poster bed and its own private step-out balcony with a sea vista. This suite is adjoined by a smaller air-conditioned bedroom with two twin beds which shares the bath. This smaller bedroom also connects to a third air-conditioned king suite, and has its own separate entrance.
A few stairs lead down from the main level out to the infinity-edge pool and the surrounding green lawn. In-pool benches for sitting, five fountains cascading into the pool, and hammocks and chaise lounges for sun tanning will enhance your hours at this sunny spot. Another table for alfresco dining seats six. Shaded by a canopy, there's also a poolside wet bar with 2 sinks, microwave, music center, refrigerator, a second gas grill and an exercise bench with weights. At the east end of the lawn is a poolside bathroom and laundry room; there are fruit trees, and a path winds down the hillside to a lower-level lawn and landscaped gardens for lounging in the sun or under a shady tree.
Siren's Song's upper level is accessed by a stylish curving staircase, and offers four air-conditioned king bedroom/bath suites with four-poster beds and a private scenic balcony off each suite. A smaller air-conditioned multi-function room with an enclosed laundry, computer, fax and internet facilities serves as an 8th bedroom and has a double (full) sofa bed. Another sofa bed is on the large landing of the upper level, handsome with its wooden floor.
A deck extends along a portion of the upper level, swept by Caribbean tradewinds; this is an ideal spot for curling up with a good book. Furnishings are mahogany-stained teak; traditional West Indian reproductions with massive batik wall hangings, harking back to early island days. Shell pink is the theme for Siren's Song exterior and pale cool floor tiles, warmed by scattered rugs, maple cabinets and natural-wood ceilings and beams; arched openings throughout frame lovely sea views. Siren's Song is surrounded by mature trees and manicured landscaping, and below the property, fascinating natural wonders are to be found along more than 5,000 feet of shoreline at Mermaid's Chair (the sand bar which separates the Atlantic Ocean from the Caribbean Sea, and which connects Botany Bay to Little St. Thomas, a small island to the west owned by The Nature Conservancy.) These are private areas, just a few minutes' walk from Siren's Song, shared only with occasional visitors to the other three homes within Botany Bay's 380-acre private estate.
If you yearn for serenity and peace far from crowds and traffic, Siren's Song is definitely the place.
