A magnificent 5 1/2 acre peninsula is the site of this historic island property: Gun Point's exceptional location within a private estate on this promontory provides a profound sense of peace and solitude. The very top of Gun Point was long ago used as a cannon emplacement which fired out to sea at pirate ships venturing too near the coastline. Now a nature trail leads to this serene and breezy spot for cocktails at sunset, with superb sea views of passing yachts and Caribbean waters. This English estate was built in 1969 around Gun Point's original 18th century gunpowder store. The property was completely renovated in 2005 to a high standard of luxury, reviving the old magic enjoyed at Gun Point.

The main house comprises the living area and a custom kitchen which opens out to a covered living/dining terrace with a built-in gas grill. This spacious terrace looks out to the beach at Smugglers Cove. Gun Point now offers five air conditioned bedrooms in two pavilions, all facing out to sea and built adjacent to the new state-of-the-art, low chemical pool.

One path leads you to your own private dock, 150 feet from the house, with steps for easy access into the ocean. The dock house is full of amenities for fishing and snorkeling, and a deck on the dock house roof is perfect for lunch or sundown cocktails. The second path takes you to the top of the point where the cannons used to be, and the third path threads through tropical landscaping to Smugglers Cove Beach.

This wonderful, electronically gated family estate offers serene, secluded luxury for guests of all ages, a sense of history, and a spacious and relaxing island hideaway for groups large and small. Enjoy your Caribbean escape in one of Tortola's most peaceful and private homes: gourmet magic in the kitchen, superb snorkeling, sun-kissed days at the beach and romantic nights of stargazing, the sound of soothing waves, and the natural beauty surrounding this very special place will enchant you.
