Our exclusive listing Albion House is the crowning glory in the sought after Golden Rock enclave on Nevis – it's classical proportions and Palladian columns rise up majestically in the surrounding lush garden and provide an arresting sight against the tropical rainforest backdrop.
The wide sweeping verandahs that run the entire width of the house are dotted with enormous urns of tumbling bougainvillea, providing the perfect spot for entertaining and idling away afternoons. The dramatic and ever-changing vista can be enjoyed from this vantage point. Redonda, Antigua, Montserrat and even Guadeloupe can be viewed emerging from the Atlantic ocean and framing the horizon perfectly.
