Live in Luxury in an Island Paradise - Gated Mountainside Villa on the Island of St. John
One of the largest, gated villa estates on the Island of St. John, Chateau Margot occupies a quiet and very beautiful mountainside location on Bordeaux Mountain, above the small town of Coral Bay. The house shares the same stunning views as those of the overlook at Chateaux Bordeaux, and the fabulous views are some of St John's most famous and most photographed.
The half dozen restaurants, a grocery store and a gas station are a 10 minute drive along paved roads to Coral Bay, while the acclaimed Chateaux Bordeaux Restaurant is within walking distance (10 minutes). The National Park beaches at Maho Bay and Frances Bay are also a 10-minute drive.
This spacious luxury estate (6100 sq. ft of interior space) consists of 3 separate buildings connected by wooden walkways and paved paths. The main (entrance) level of the 3-story great house contains the living, dining and kitchen areas, the 13' x 25' deep water infinity pool, a tiled sun deck, and a fully equipped office with FREE high speed internet (wired and wireless). The master bedroom/bath and 2 guest bedrooms and bath are on the upper level.
Overlooking the main house is a detached guest house with a 1-bedroom suite, while a 2-story guest house with 2 bedroom/2 baths is beside the main house. Chateau Margot's is a unique architectural statement that incorporates abundant stone walls, gorgeous landscaping, lots of potted plants, fishponds, fountains, tiled decks and other features that give this home a feeling of taste and refinement.

Why the Owner Chose Bordeaux Mountain
Securely snuggled into the verdant green hillside of Bordeaux Mountain, Estate Chateau Margot is situated on Bordeaux's eastern slope, approximately 1,000 feet above sea level. Overlooking the quiet community of Coral Bay, the impressive 4 1/2 acre estate affords majestic views of St. John's East End as well as the British Virgin Islands of Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Norman and several smaller cays along the Sir Francis Drake Channel. This property is only 1½ miles from the turn off Centerline Road that leads straight down to the amazing Maho and Francis Beaches and only 3 miles from the center of Coral Bay. To reach the estate, travel 5 miles from downtown Cruz Bay, halfway through the Virgin Islands National Park, on cool tree-canopied Centerline Road. Only 3/10 of a mile after passing the historic Reef Bay Trail entrance, the road to the estate forks off just to the right of the famous Château Bordeaux restaurant complex. From there, a 1/2 mile paved drive curves around and down to the grand white gates of Chateau Margot.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Chateau Margot, like its nearby neighbor Château Bordeaux, shares a name with one of the world's best wines. Margot, a red claret wine of "truly incomparable distinction and class", always "well-balanced and unsurpassed by any other wine on earth" makes an appropriate namesake for this estate. Being distinctive and classy, Chateau Margot stands out and above most other St. John properties. This villa's classic quality and exceptional superiority are impossible to deny when noticing the warmth of carved teak and mahogany woods; the lasting beauty and strength of polished granite, coral and marble tiles; and the innovative appliances, fixtures and electronics found all throughout its structure. The artistic blending of a rich regal decor, set within coolly casual curves and angles, adapted to the middle of a secluded tropical forest, gives this estate the well-balanced "premier grand -cru" classification that it truly deserves.
