MIAMI, Dec. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A pair of oceanside villas on the island of Virgin Gorda, the British Virgin Islands' most desirable enclave, has been scheduled for sale at luxury auction^® on December 20, 2024. The two, side-by-side properties – named Red Rock Villa and Salt Spring Villa – were previously asking nearly $5 million each but will now be sold to the highest auction bidder without reserve.

Two luxurious villas in the British Virgin Islands will be sold at luxury auction® on Dec 20, 2024. The side-by-side properties – named Red Rock Villa and Salt Spring Villa – are located on the exclusive island of Virgin Gorda. They are available individually or collectively. Platinum Luxury Auctions is working with listing brokerage Christie’s International Real Estate British Virgin Islands for the sales. BVILuxuryAuction.com.

A robust chef’s kitchen is at the heart of the main level of each property. Lower-level basement space in the villas can be outfitted for ample wine storage, if desired. BVILuxuryAuction.com.

Each villa features a large, custom pool. Shown here is the infinity-edge pool with integrated gazebo at Red Rock Villa. BVILuxuryAuction.com.

Each property features elevated loft space, ideal as a lounge, library, fitness area, or for additional sleeping quarters. Exposed steel framing (visible on the loft walls) is an example of the properties’ commercial-grade construction. This structural integrity has allowed the villas to remain unscathed through the Caribbean storm seasons. BVILuxuryAuction.com.

The oceanside villas offer panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean. Premier island amenities such as Spring Bay, Savannah Bay, Valley Trunk, The Baths, and Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbour are within close proximity. BVILuxuryAuction.com.

The villas could be sold individually or as a pair, based upon the prevailing preference of the interested bidders, according to Platinum Luxury Auctions, the Miami-based real estate auction firm retained by the villas' singular owner for the sale. Platinum is managing the sale in partnership with listing brokerage Christie's International Real Estate British Virgin Islands, represented by listing agent Bernadette George.

"Following our successful luxury auction with the Christie's brokerage on Grand Cayman this past March, we're again excited to partner with one the Caribbean's leading luxury brokerages as part of our alliance with the broker members of the Christie's International Real Estate Caribbean (CIREC) network," said Trayor Lesnock, Platinum's founder and president. Platinum and CIREC formally aligned in 2023 in order to provide CIREC's luxury agent network with preferential access to the auction firm's market-leading, luxury auction platform.

Each villa sits on approx. 0.5 acres, with lush landscaping for added privacy. Salt Spring Villa offers 3,807 sf of interiors and an additional 3,286 sf of outdoor living space, with a total of 4 bedrooms, 4 full and 3 half-baths. A convertible office can add a 5^th bedroom. The slightly smaller Red Rock Villa includes 2,400 sf of interiors with 2,657 sf of outdoor area, and a total of 2 bedrooms, 2 full and one half-bath.

The properties were custom built by the same owner in 2011-2012, using materials imported from Europe. Thanks to German engineering and commercial-grade construction features – including large steel girders – the villas have remained unscathed throughout Caribbean storm seasons, including Hurricane Irma in 2017. "To reproduce these properties today at this level of structural integrity would cost an absolute fortune," Lesnock added. "Plus, the building process would take 4-5 years."

While the current owner used Salt Spring Villa personally and offered Red Rock Villa as a luxury vacation rental, both properties were developed and maintained at the same, high standard. Prominent features of each villa include a gourmet kitchen with robust suite of appliances, massage/spa room, open-concept loft space, and an interior courtyard with koi pond, summer kitchen, and covered jacuzzi. Perhaps the most notable feature of each villa is a large, custom pool surrounded by ample lounge space, with sublime views of the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean.

The villas are situated within the private community of Princess Quarters, a small enclave whose residents include former pro baseball player Jayson Werth and Myrna Colley Lee, the ex-wife of actor Morgan Freeman.

This latest offering marks Platinum's return to Virgin Gorda after the firm posted a considerable sale for the island of nearly $14 million with the auction of Villa Katsura, a property located in the prestigious Little Dix Bay community.

Villa previews are available by daily appointment until auction day. Interested parties may contact Platinum's project manager, Walter Cerini, at 800.939.1672. Auction and property details are also hosted online at BVILuxuryAuction.com.
