The Luxurious Conceiving Paradise
The estate takes its cues from the nearby Cove Bay
, insisting on the blue and white palette native to the island, and despite its new construction, Villa Modena's angular design and clean lines easily assume the openness and intimacy native to Anguilla. Situated between Cap Juluca Hotel and the Flag luxury resort and Golf Course, the contemporary estate offers just enough privacy from the world at large.The home's white exterior proves unobtrusive to an expansive horizon, and the island's azure skies are only further complimented by the spacious canopies present throughout the property's 25,000 square feet. As "this pristine property looks out upon the Caribbean Sea through crystalline expanses of glass," a stretch of ocean becomes part of the house itself, the view effortlessly melding with Villa Modena's exquisite marine-hued glass spiral staircase. Originally envisioned by Sherwin Richardson, a member of Flash Construction and the son of the home's original owner, the estate's design and formal blueprint was refined by Dante Marini Alexander of Italy. The house bears some resemblance to the nautilus, its six stone columns taking center stage beneath the main living area's 22-foot domed ceiling, while honey onyx doors offer residents an intimate retreat.
The master suite, roughly 960 square feet, is a perfect hideaway from the general estate, providing a steam shower, a double whirlpool, and its own private garden terrace overlooking the shoreline.
In addition to five bedrooms and five baths, all of which contain luxurious hot tubs, the three-story house includes a gourmet kitchen, surround-sound entertainment, and outdoor showers. The house also utilizes one of Lutron's home automation systems, a feature which intuitively integrates Villa Modena's various light, audio, and video systems. For further functionality, the estate includes an elevator, five-car garage and staff quarters.
Outside, the property's many activities promise a truly indulgent experience. The grounds contain a tennis court, gymnasium, and travertine patio, and for the grill enthusiast, there is an outdoor barbecue area perfect for entertaining. Additionally, a two-bedroom, two-bath clubhouse insures that this recreational retreat provides endless delights.
The infinity edge pool is the centerpiece of the villa's landscape, contrasting skillfully with the manicured lawn. The pool echoes the estate's architectural features and provides continuity with the home's interior. Nearby, the garden's exotic flowers accentuate a modern courtyard with vibrant color, preserving the sheer elegance conveyed by the villa itself. While many will find Cove Bay inviting, it is Villa Modena's perfect balance of nature and contemporary design that truly redefines the tropical paradise's carefree allure.
Villa Modena is currently on the market for $20,000,000.
