Built in the 1960's by Dorothy and Oscar Hammerstein, Highland House is an exquisite estate home uniquely designed for entertaining small gatherings while still providing individual privacy. From the breezy cushioned sun porch with its perfect spots for reading or napping - to the Great Room with its fireplace and precious mementos of current and previous owners, it is the successful blending This home was designed to take full advantage of its magnificent highland setting and fabulous grounds. The six bedrooms are privately located under four separate roofs - all accessed by connecting steps and pathways. Each bedroom is individually themed and decorated, yet blend together to provide a sense of one-ness.
The public areas continue this approach of something for everyone. From the pool terrace, a spiral stairway leads to the rooftop sundeck where you are welcome to enjoy the chaise lounges, thatched umbrella table for shaded lunches, and the breathtaking view of the grounds and sea beyond. This is a perfect spot for activities as varied as sunrise yoga and sunset cocktails. The downstairs features a wet bar with a pool table and games. The house also features a full spa service with manicures, pedicures, facials, massages and reflexology treatments available.
A stroll of the grounds is, to say the least, a botanical feast. The varieties of vegetation and wild life are boundless and would take days to chronicle. Suffice it to say, there is enough flora and fauna to keep the most avid birdwatcher or amateur gardener enthralled.
The results of this labor of love are here for you and your companions to enjoy whether for the first time or as one of many return visits. The estate has been the setting for many special gatherings over the years and, we hope, will provide that same unique experience and singular memories for you.
The Oscar Hammerstein Estate was featured in the June 1995 issue of Island Home Magazine of comfort and taste.
