About Heather Chapman
I am a business consultant, principally serving cross border financial services clients. In 2014 my family and I took a year out to build our vacation villa at Cooten Bay in the British Virgin Islands. Outside of work, family comes first and my boys, Tom, Ben and Joe respectively work in Property, Film and Finance. Heather, who I have been married to for 30 years, enjoys interior and garden design and making all of our lives run smoothly! Additionally I spend time at Tortola Sports Club, where I play squash and I work on BVI Olympic Committee and Old Government House Museum matters as the Treasurer of both organisations.
Heather Chapman purchased this Villa in 2009
Why Heather Chapman chose East End
The family saw the hillside where the villa is located when we first came to live in the British Virgin Islands in 1995. We decided that if development lots ever came on the market, we would build a dream villa here in Cooten Bay. That finally happened 19 years later in 2014.
What makes this Villa unique
The Chapman family, which is Mark (husband), Heather (wife), Tom, Ben and Joe (3 sons) have been involved with the Surfside Gardens dream from inception to the day our first guests arrived in late 2014. Every facet of the villa has been hand-picked, uniquely designed or tailor-made by one of the family members, from the chimney breast, to the 'jam'delier, to the indoor/outdoor stone spa bathroom, to the stone and tiled patios, to the panoramic windows, to the french doors, to the gourmet kitchen and even down to the surrounding lush vegetation. We collected stones, rocks and boulders from the property as we built it and fashioned them into pillars, walls, pathways. Both bathrooms are entirely constructed of stone, making for the most natural environment imaginable. For the four years preceding the build we nurtured a vast array of fruit trees, palms and shrubs, ready for the day in 2014 when we would landscape the property. We designed the villa for Caribbean living to take advantage of the the sea breezes and amazing views. The crystal clear ocean and pebble beach are just few meters from the front door and a beautiful unspoiled sandy beach, Rogues Bay aka Lava Flow is a couple of minutes drive without leaving the quiet estate road where Surfside is situated. At Lava Flow, you are likely to be the only visitors, it is most definitely one of 'natures little secrets'.
