Description

One Caribbean Estates proudly presents Bulkeley Great House, an elegant 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom historic estate spanning over 10,000 sq. ft. with adjoining 6,500 sq. ft. air-conditioned offices. This remarkable large estate for sale, previously home to Sir William Bulkeley, a member of Parliament in 1651, has housed numerous prominent Barbadian families while retaining its old-world charm. The estate includes a separate 1-bedroom guest cottage and outbuildings, formerly stables, bringing the total covered area to approximately 17,500 sq. ft.

Situated on nearly 8 acres of mature grounds, including 4 acres of landscaped gardens with magnificent old trees. Located in the heart of the St. George Valley, known as “the breadbasket” of the island for its fertile sugar cane production, provides a picturesque setting for this grand estate.

The estate’s traditional covered patio has been thoughtfully extended to encompass a large, free-form swimming pool designed to mimic a natural pond. This pool, complete with gently cascading waterfalls and a “sand-finished” bottom that melds into a faux shore  – the pool’s naturalistic design contribute to a serene and visually stunning environment, unmatched by any other on the island. Additionally, the renovated outbuildings have been transformed into modern offices, maintaining a mews-effect adjacent to the main plantation house and blending historical elegance with contemporary functionality.

Meticulously maintained and improved by the current owners, Bulkeley Great House is a rare Barbadian treasure. Despite the passage of time, it retains its enchanting old-world charm, characterized by thick coral stone walls, superb period arches, large stately rooms, and gorgeous wooden floors.

Spanning a total of 17,500 sq. ft. of covered area, the main house alone offers 10,170 sq. ft. across three levels.

The main house boasts an impressive double staircase leading to the main entrance and front porch. Inside, the main hallway leads past large reception rooms to a spacious kitchen with access to the rear courtyard and gardens.
