This exceptional 18th Century plantation estate has been completely renovated in traditional Barbadian style and features a main house, cottage and separate staff quarters situated on a secluded coral ridge with sea views. The original house would have been the square Georgian block so common throughout the British Colonial islands, however the term “Caribbean Georgian” was coined to describe the many delightful, tropical touches to this style that evolved in the West Indies, the use of limestone, adding of verandahs and galleries, raising the house over a full basement, imposing exterior stairs, push-out windows and jalousies shutters, all of which can be seen at Bellevue. As you enter the grounds, you are immediately struck by the grandeur and grace of yesteryear. The sweeping dual stairway leads to the large, wraparound verandah on the second level, from where guests can take advantage of the spectacular view of the Bridgetown Harbour, the surrounding countryside and also watch the magnificent sunset while sipping cocktails. Bellevue is a spectacular, newly remodeled plantation estate home. The house sits in secluded woods at the end of a modest, unmarked road, a real surprise for those who chance on it unexpectedly. The imposing gates, the many mature trees and sweeping lawns tell you that something special lies beyond. On a ridge overlooking a gully, amidst 3 acres of land, the house is now surrounded by tall trees, but must have once had a splendid view over Belle Plantation spread out below, hence the name, Bell
