A Seamless Blend of Contemporary Elegance and Sustainable Caribbean Living

Welcome to Palm Grove #5, an exceptional home where modern design meets eco-conscious living, all within the prestigious Royal Westmoreland Estate. Nestled in a serene, well-established neighborhood, this residence is more than a home—it’s a private sanctuary, designed for comfort, beauty, and effortless island living.

Originally envisioned by Gillespie and Steel as a “Roman Villa Courtyard,” this home is one of only two of its kind on the estate. In 2021/22, renowned architect Jeremy Gunn reimagined the property, thoughtfully adapting it for a contemporary Caribbean lifestyle.

Inspired by Nature, Designed for Comfort

At the heart of the home is the Great Room, where the kitchen, dining, and living areas flow seamlessly. This inviting space embraces cooling breezes and lush garden views, with sleek sliding glass doors that provide the flexibility to enjoy open-air living or enclosed, air-conditioned comfort.

Once a traditional tiled courtyard, the central outdoor space has been transformed into a stunning poolside garden, inspired by the beauty of Hunte’s Garden. Surrounded by vibrant tropical greenery, this lush retreat naturally cools the home while creating a tranquil setting for relaxation.

With 12 distinct seating areas, from the shaded gazebo in the landscaped rear garden to peaceful nooks throughout the property, there’s a perfect spot for every moment—whether savoring morning coffee, hosting friends, or unwinding by the pool.

Thoughtful Craftsmanship and Eco-Friendly Features

Designed for both style and sustainability, the custom kitchen features locally crafted cabinetry made from marine-grade materials, ensuring durability against humidity and termites. High-end SMEG appliances blend sleek aesthetics with energy efficiency.

Palm Grove #5 is a leader in sustainability within Royal Westmoreland, featuring:

Integrated solar panels with substantial battery storage for near-total energy self-sufficiency.

Energy-efficient appliances, inverter air-conditioning, and a variable-speed pool pump to minimise energy use.

A saltwater pool system with updated piping for reduced maintenance and a more natural swimming experience.

Recent Enhancements for Modern Living

Following a comprehensive 2022 renovation, the home now features:

A fully upgraded electrical system with a 200A power supply, ready for future EV charging.

A new Wallaba wood shingle roof, designed for longevity and weather resilience.

Advanced irrigation controlled wirelessly for efficient water management.

Minimal-joint guttering and downpipes, reducing maintenance and ensuring long-term durability.

Quiet, energy-efficient fans throughout the home for enhanced comfort.

A Private Home with a Distinctive Character

Unlike many properties on the estate, Palm Grove #5 has never been used for rental purposes. Carefully curated by its owners, it blends Caribbean and Balinese influences with elegant plantation-era touches, creating a warm, authentic atmosphere that is rare to find.

This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle, waiting for its next chapter.
