Amateras is a masterfully renovated hilltop sanctuary that commands one of the most prestigious elevations on Virgin Gorda. Aptly named after the Japanese Goddess of the Sun, the estate is a theater for the celestial, capturing dramatic orange-red sunrises over the Atlantic and pastel-flamed sunsets over the Sir Francis Drake Channel. Spread across 1.5 acres of lush tropical gardens and iconic granite boulders, this 3,800-square-foot residence is a study in "Island Contemporary" design, offering a unique three-pavilion layout that ensures absolute privacy for owners and guests alike.
Property Details
The estate’s architecture is thoughtfully integrated into the rugged terrain, featuring 2,000+ square feet of wrap-around decks and walkways that weave through the island’s famous boulders.
The Main Pavilion: Centered around an 18-foot grand entrance door, the main house features cathedral ceilings and a sunken gourmet chef's kitchen with a wrap-around counter that seats 12. Large folding doors open to a massive covered deck overlooking the pool and the turquoise Drake Channel.
Sleeping Pavilions: Two independent cabanas are connected to the main house by winding garden paths. Each pavilion houses two bedroom suites (totaling four king-convertible rooms) and two full bathrooms, plus its own kitchenette and casual lounge area.
Interior Space: The villa offers 3,800 square feet of interior living space, characterized by subtle earth tones and high-end modern finishes, all fully renovated to the highest standards following Hurricane Irma.
Land and Water
Amateras sits in a premier "High-Seclusion" zone, elevated far above the beachside tourist traffic while remaining minutes from the water.
The Pool & Decks: A private swimming pool is the centerpiece of the outdoor experience, surrounded by a multitude of teak-furnished decks and a covered gazebo designed for all-day relaxation and 360-degree panoramas.
The Terrain: The 1.5-acre lot is positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, ensuring zero through-traffic and total quiet. The grounds are a natural botanical garden, with indigenous flora thriving among the massive stone formations.
Access and Utilities
The villa is located within an exclusive gated community, offering both security and convenience.
Proximity: Despite its mountaintop feel, Amateras is only a 2-5 minute drive from the world-famous "The Baths," Savannah Bay, and the yacht harbor in Spanish Town.
Sustainability & Safety: The estate includes a high-capacity backup generator and was built with sturdy, storm-resilient materials. Paved access leads to an easy-turnaround parking area with space for up to 10 vehicles.
Turnkey Condition: The property is offered fully furnished and ready for immediate occupancy or rental operation.
Lifestyle and Value
Amateras is a high-performing vacation asset, widely respected for its architectural beauty and unique sunrise-to-sunset perspective. Marketed at approximately $2,900,000, the estate offers significant value for a turnkey 1.5-acre hilltop compound in the BVI. Whether utilized as a multigenerational family retreat or a sophisticated rental property, Amateras provides a lifestyle of profound peace and unparalleled scenic beauty, perched high above one of the Caribbean's most celebrated sailing destinations.
