St. Thomas, USVI
Villa Ashoka is located on three acres of private grounds In Estate Harmony, in the north-east quadrant of St. Thomas, within easy reach of Magens Bay beach and Mahogany Run golf course. Nestled into the hillside, the living areas and bedrooms enjoys spectacular views of Thatch Cay and the string of islands beyond Thatch to the British Virgin Islands and St. John. On a clear day, Virgin Gorda is clearly visible.
At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, Villa Ashoka is a small, traditional one-storey residence, secluded in the midst of well-maintained tropical vegetation that includes many varieties of indigenous trees and orchids. A dream location for nature lovers, many species of birds (as well as the occasional iguana) can be seen on the property.
The house includes two air conditioned master bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. One suite has its own entry door, permitting it to be used as a self-contained guest apartment. The open-plan living area is surrounded on three sides by glass sliding doors that permit guests to enjoy great views of the vegetation and islands.
The property was remodeled in 2006 with new bathrooms, kitchen and furniture throughout. See the attached article from Destination magazine titled “Happy Remodeling” that describes the owners’ sometimes amusing experiences during the remodeling process. The end result of the redecoration has been to create an environment of zen like tranquility conducive to maximum relaxation.
The 2006 restoration included a patio off the living areas with spectacular down island views and a 40 x 20 feet swimming pool (depth from four to seven feet), one of the largest private pools on the island. A large deck area, quality chaises (stored in the hurricane cottage) and pergola add to guests’ enjoyment.
