The Ridge – A Masterpiece of Design and Luxury

Perched on 2.68 acres of prime land, The Ridge is a breathtaking estate where architectural brilliance meets unparalleled luxury. Designed by world-renowned architect and interior designer Peter Inston, this palatial residence reflects his signature craftsmanship, seen in iconic projects such as The Ritz Carlton, The Savoy Hotel in London, and the Four Seasons in Hampshire.

A Home of Grand Vision and Impeccable Detail

A testament to meticulous artistry, The Ridge took nearly five years to complete, with no expense spared in its construction. Italian marble, a striking fountain, and hand-carved courtyard statues were sourced from around the world, while an international artist was flown in from the UK to paint the exquisite domed ceiling at the main entrance.

The estate’s 11-bedroom layout is thoughtfully arranged across three residences:

Main House – 5 elegant bedrooms

Chattel House – 4 charming guest suites

Cottage – 2 additional bedrooms

With a total floor area of approximately 19,000 square feet, the property is designed for both intimate retreats and grand entertaining. It features exceptional amenities, including a temperature-controlled wine room, cinema, spa, hair salon, gym, and tennis court. Outdoor spaces provide the perfect backdrop for gatherings, offering serene courtyards, lush gardens, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow.

For those seeking the best of both country and coastal living, The Ridge can also be linked to properties with beach access, creating a lifestyle of absolute refinement.

A Collector’s Dream – Treasures with a Caribbean Soul

The Ridge is not only an architectural gem but also a curated sanctuary of rare and remarkable collectibles. Over a decade, an extraordinary collection has been assembled, featuring pieces with deep Caribbean connections.

Among the highlights:

Film memorabilia, including Charlie Chaplin’s personal cane and a rare collection of vintage film posters, notably an original from Island in the Sun (1957), a Hollywood classic filmed in Barbados

Furniture by master designers, such as Carlo Bugatti and Viscount Linley.

Original sketches by Oliver Messel, famed for designing some of Barbados’ most prestigious homes

Works by Terry O’Neill, the celebrated celebrity photographer.

The largest known Caribbean painting collection of English playwright Noël Coward, alongside works by Erte, the acclaimed Russian-born French artist who found inspiration in Barbados.

Adding to the estate’s unique charm is a one-of-a-kind painting by Michael Flatley, created by dancing across the canvas in painted tap shoes—a piece as dynamic as the artist himself.

Every detail of The Ridge tells a story, making it a home like no other—a rare fusion of heritage, luxury, and artistry, set against the breathtaking beauty of the Caribbean.
