Located on the already luxurious St. Kitts island, Christophe Harbour is a new 2,500-acre luxury residential development, spanning across the Southeast Caribbean Leeward Islands.  The development offers seven unique property ownership opportunities, a mega yacht harbor, 18-hole golf course designed by Tom Fazio, hotels, restaurants, shopping and private membership clubs.

The centerpiece of Christophe Harbour will be a 300-acre marina and mega yacht harbor, naturally protected by mountain peaks and waters of the Caribbean Sea.  The marina will be able to accommodate small crafts, as well as mega yachts ranging from 85 to 300 feet in length.  All vessels will be able to utilize the marina’s state-of-the-art facilities and services while yacht owners, captains and their guests will have access to a private club, a full concierge and hospitality services. Christophe Harbour will be a designated port of entry with streamlined Customs and Immigration services.

To compliment the marina village, a variety of real estate opportunities exist across the development which include beachfront, harborside and hillside homesites.

Properties

The newest ownership opportunity, Pavilion Hill offers sweeping views of Sandy BankBay and the harbour, and just steps from the newly constructed Pavilion beach club which offers casual dining, a beachside cabana bar, and poolside and shoreside activities.  You have your choice among seven homesites, each averaging a third of an acre, for your island home!

Along the perimeter of the planned mega-yacht harbour, Harbourside is the premier waterfront living opportunity on St. Kitts, with only four homesites available. These homesites offer the rare architectural opportunity for creative land or over-the-water designs, exclusive beaches, private docks, and impeccable views.

Villa Loreanna, 4-bedroom/5.5-bath homes with rich finishes are set on a hillside perch overlooking Sandy Bank Bay and the harbour, with views across to the Caribbean. When complete, these 5,833 square foot functional masterpieces will offer nearly 2,000 additional square feet of outdoor living space, including a pool lounge, pavilion and summer kitchen, and multiple vantage points for enjoying the stunning vistas. These homes will be just a short walk to the Sandy Bank Bay Beach Club and mega-yacht harbour and marina village.

Panoramic Atlantic sunrises with views across the harbour to vivid Caribbean sunsets are just a few of the highlights of the daily joy of living on Cardinal Point. These large homesites are designed to emulate the beauty of the Mediterranean’s sublime coast while offering opportunities for owners to create their own masterpieces overlooking the sea.

Home designs by the esteemed firm of Merrill Pastor & Colgan, Architects suggest, in combinations of stone and masonry, a lovely blurring of indoor and outdoor spaces along terraces designed with utmost privacy in mind. As you approach the shoreline, your immediate visuals are of the azure waters with white silk sand shimmering just below and plentiful reefs for all the exploring you like.

Next up? Windswept Villas is an exclusive enclave of 11 turnkey residences.  You have the choice of a three, or four-bedroom, custom-designed Windswept Villa with exquisite views of the harbour, Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean sunsets dressed in pale pinks, corals, and crimsons. Each Villa is crafted in the tradition of the world’s great hideaways, featuring environmentally-sound designs built to Energy-Star standards, expansive living and dining areas, replete with Viking appliances and SieMatic cabinetry, mahogany finishes, and ceramic and natural stone flooring and elegant furnishing packages and custom options available.

Set along a dramatic horseshoe bay with two reefs and a natural sand bank that extends more than 100 yards from the shoreline, the residential offerings at Sandy Bank Bay. A marine sanctuary, the bay will remain free of boat moorings, so that sea life may flourish while wide Atlantic views are protected.  Rising above the bay’s tall dune bank, along the shore and on the hillsides, select homesites have been arranged to take advantage of breezes and sunlight, for sweeping views of land and sea – some at elevations of 100 feet and higher.

Amenities

A premier site on Sandy Bank Bay has been chosen for The Pavilion, Christophe Harbour’s first beach club. The Pavilion will open its doors in October 2011.  The Pavilion’s look and feel will be an enticing fusion of traditional, contemporary, sexy – with romantic pathway entrances, stone arches and fireplaces, private dining patios, natural-edged pools, and waterfall showers. Throughout is a subtle blurring of nature and architecture.

Set across the volcanic hills 500 ft above sea level, this championship-level, 18-hole Tom Fazio course will be stunning, defined by dramatic topography and known for its panoramic views of the blue waters of the Atlantic and Caribbean, and the mountains of St. Kitts and Nevis.

Set within a harbour village that will soon fill with cafés, coffee shops, and stylish boutiques, the yacht basin will feature a convenient entrance and well-designed inner harbour that benefits from access to both the Atlantic and Caribbean.

Turtle Beach and The Beach House restaurant benefit from welcoming sea breezes, an advantage of natural positioning. Nevis looks close enough to touch, and boats from the sister-island often make the 15-minute crossing just for dinner.

Evenings, The Beach House glows with candle and lantern light, and diners can enjoy an enviable wine list and menu of fresh island and world flavors, of fruits of land and sea – crayfish and avocado salad, ginger-pineapple chicken, fresh-made sushi.

Along the dunes at Turtle Beach, four enchanting bungalows with names like Aloe and Plumbago are made of hand-hewn logs, wooden shutters, glass wrap-around doors, and marble slab baths with rain showers – each with a private plunge pool and seaside cabana.

The bungalows are surrounded by palms and bougainvillea, and look to be part of the landscape – and almost are, such is their quiet ambiance. Inside, there’s a sea of soft pillows and comforts among the furnishings of wood, stone, bamboo and seagrass.
