It has been said that the greatest gift you can give someone you love is space. The past pandemic-stricken year has given that old chestnut a whole new, literal meaning. Space – both public and private – have long been an essential part of mental wellness, public health and safety, and economic stability. But since the onslaught of the novel coronavirus, our use of and relationship to space is forever altered. Space is the new luxury. And you don’t have to buy a ticket aboard Virgin Galactic to revel in it. A number of select destinations within our atmosphere deliver this less obvious amenity in abundance, but perhaps none so gracefully as Oil Nut Bay.
Spread across 400 acres of breathtaking Caribbean hill, valley and shoreline on the northeastern tip of Virgin Gorda, and accessible only by boat or helicopter, Oil Nut Bay is a secluded, safe escape for you and your family during the ongoing chaos that continues to upend all of our lives. Thoughtfully grouped into eight distinct neighborhoods, each with their own ambience and allure, the property’s setting is both exceptionally private and consciously preserved.
Space to Luxuriate
Hidden amongst the island’s undulating hills, Oil Nut Bay’s summit Estate Lots are strategically positioned to maximize privacy and provide the perfect platform for bold, breathtaking living. Estate Homesite 12 is magnificent. Spanning close to 28 acres of hill and valley, and boasting 360 degree views of untouched reef, Caribbean Sea, neighboring islands and the entire community of Oil Nut Bay, this exceptional piece of real estate is boundless in its views and unrivaled in its seclusion. Able to accommodate several separate compounds, it is ideally suited to a multi-generational family who values quality time together punctuated by vast space, absolute privacy and peace.
Imagine luxurious private villas for the entire family, multiple entertainment areas, cascading swimming pools, chefs’ kitchens, your own private wellness center, lushly landscaped gardens and courtyards, as well as your own dedicated staff quarters. An independent oasis within a world-class resort with the flexibility and freedom to be a part of our elite island community, or fully escape from the world.
Space to Explore
The neighborhoods of Oil Nut Bay are built around a world-class resort that caters directly to homeowners and rental guests. Boasting three decadent restaurants, a luxurious yet laidback Beach Club, vibrant Marina Village with state-of-the-art docks, Wellness Centre, tennis and pickle-ball courts, Kids’ Club and Nature Centre, the community offers an exceptional experience to multigenerational homeowners and visitors alike. With its temperate climate and sensational sandy beach, Oil Nut Bay can be enjoyed over an extended ten-month season – an attribute quite unique to this part of the world. Ocean enthusiasts will fall in love with the resort’s protected bay, home to tens of resident turtles, rays and tropical fish that congregate around an enormous sunken tree resting on the sandy sea bottom of the shallow bay. Hike, snorkel, fish, dive, roam the beach, sail the bay, sample sumptuous fare, and then retreat to your very own private paradise.
Space to Breathe
Our recent loss of personal freedom and the confinement it has brought, has revived an appreciation of life’s simple pleasures – time and space, sunshine and safety, wellbeing and tranquility. It makes sense that this restored gratitude has translated into the locations we are picking to call home. Estate Homesite 12 is the very epitome of a safe, soothing space in which to soak up the sun, fill your lungs with fresh air, and relax into the comfort that true safety and security allow. A safe space for today, for tomorrow, for generations to come.
