The Estates at Porto Maho

The Caribbean unveils its newest development – Porto Maho, an exclusive village blending luxury with local character, contemporary design and an environmental ethos. Airy and minimalist The Estates at Porto Maho offer 10 waterfront homes with breathtaking views over the lagoon of Simpson Bay, the Caribbean and the island of Anguilla in the distance. These beautiful homes feature private pools, private docks, outdoor hot tubs and interior courtyard gardens and unobstructed views from each room, of the lagoon, the sea and Anguilla on the horizon.Invite St. Maarten’s beautiful landscape into the privacy and serenity of your own home, from the floor to ceiling glass “walls”, to see-through stairs in the main hall and a second-story skywalk across a courtyard garden providing a dramatic approach to the master bedroom. Luxuriously private, this suite offers quick access to the sauna and Turkish steam bath.The 1,500 square meter grounds have lavish outdoor terraces ascending from a private pier to a hot tub and swimming pool, then an outdoor salon area, past the home’s two stories and finally to a trellised parking space for several cars. The terraces’ elevators connect the different levels of the residence. The village offers eco-friendly practices throughout : Solar panels. Roof cisterns. A black- and grey-water treatment plant. Low-energy electrical and air-conditioning systems that recycle heat. The landscaping and architecture take advantage of cool trade winds, limiting the need for artificial temperature controls. Walls of aerated concrete blocks insulate further against high temperatures, as well as ambient noise. (They’re also nontoxic, fire-resistant and insect-proof). Even the windowpanes reflect The Estates at Porto Maho’s elegantly practical environmental ethos: each is shaded and pyrolytic-coated to reduce heat transmission. Locally sourced materials command center stage, whenever possible. This upscale community features only wood from sustainable forests and items guaranteed to be toxic-free – from production to installation and daily use.Options are available of four to six bedrooms each with its own closet, bathroom and shaded deck with upgrade packages for gym, media room, sauna, Turkish steam bath, dock storage, boat lifts, elevators and photo voltaic.The Estates at Porto Maho blend the life aquatic with bespoke design.
