Caribbean Palatial Estate Lists At $200 Million – Take a Tour

10. March 2023

It might be the prettiest island estate in the world!

In 1958, Lord Glenconner Colin Tennant bought Mustique island for £45,000, even though it had no roads or running water. Today, it is one of the world’s most exclusive and expensive islands. A palatial estate on the island is now for sale at $200 million – the most expensive home to ever come on the market in the Caribbean.

Located on 17 private acres, The Terraces includes nine buildings with a total of 13 bedrooms, nine ensuite bedrooms in the main house, an 80-foot-long swimming pool, many arched windows and doors, and the largest entertainment spaces on the island. There are seven reception rooms, a chapel, and guest cottages where there is another swimming pool. There is a 60-foot tunnel or paths that connect the main house to a 12,000-square-foot building, which includes a huge event hall and game room. There is also a lighted tennis court and a third pool with an infinity edge that appears to send water flowing over the lush hillside. The compound includes almost 53,000 square feet of the main home plus covered outdoor areas.

The estate’s exterior grounds are just as nice as the main home, which include an entrance to the main home with breathtaking fountains that rivals Europe’s best museums, lush plantings, and exquisite views from one of Mustique’s highest elevations, providing postcard-type views of the lush tropical grounds and the Atlantic Ocean’s blue water. According to the estate listing, “The Terraces was designed in a majestic blend of Palladium and Venetian style — a faithful homage to the great 16th-century palaces of Italy’s pomp.” Such as the hand-painted ceiling murals by French artist Jean-Claude Adenin.

Mustique is located in the southern Caribbean country of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The country is a popular vacation spot for CEOs and celebrities, such as George Clooney and Kate Middleton. Both Mick Jagger and Tommy Hilfiger have expensive homes on Mustique.

The listing agent is Edward de Mallet Morgan, who is in charge of international sales at the Knight Frank real estate agency.

Steve McQueen’s Malibu Beach Home

18. November 2022

A favorite actor for baby boomers and one of the highest-paid actors in the world in the 1970s, Steve McQueen was the epitome of cool, both in real life and his movies, including The Thomas Crown Affair, The Great Escape, Bullitt, The Cincinnati Kid and Le Mans. Steve and his equally-big-movie-star-wife, Ali MacGraw, lived in Steve’s Malibu Beach home for a few years in the 1970s, which is now completely updated, just as cool as Steve was, and for sale at $16.995 million.

Recently sold in 2020 by Steve’s son, Chad, and then to songwriter Ammar Malik, (Maroon 5’s “Moves Like Jagger”) for $8.35 million, who spent millions to transform the property from a dated beach home to one of Malibu’s best. Located on a bluff to provide the privacy that the Indiana-born McQueen wanted, the four-bedroom home is now California contemporary with over 4,300 square feet, including four bedrooms, dining, and living rooms, plus several wide decks. Huge sliding doors open the first floor, which feels as though it is floating above the ocean, to some of Southern California’s best views from Broad Beach to Point Dume. The primary bedroom sets above the main floor with a soaking tub and large deck. More features include outdoor showers, a fireplace, chef’s kitchen, wood-accent walls and spa bath. A private staircase leads down to the iconic beach.

McQueen lived in Malibu when it was still a remote area near LA popular with surfers and a few actors. Today, Malibu is one of the country’s most popular and expensive beach towns with spectacular mansions and upscale shops. Still extremely popular with actors, current and former homeowners include Leonardo DiCaprio, Emma Stone, Miley Cyrus, Jack Nicholson, Jenifer Aniston, Britney Spears and Cher.

by Stefanie Stüting

You are searching for a buyer of your estate? Or you would like to profit from the worldwide POLO+10 community as a real estate agent? Send us your properties and POLO+10 Real Estate will support you in selling them.

We watch with great interest what currently is happening in Portugal: The sunny country in the very west of Europe is right now evolving into the new polo hot spot in Europe. POLO+10 gives an overview of the fascinating developments and the most beautiful properties.

Portugal/Comporta – a new polo community arises

Searching for the perfect polo estate in Comporta?
Portugal is probably the most diverse and beautiful country in Europe and also one of the oldest countries in Europe. POLO+10 knows Portugal and especially the Comporta region inside out and offers you the best estates.

About an hour ́s drive due south from colourful, vibrant Lisbon, a region that so far has escaped the hectic crowds of sun-thirsty beach goers and loud party people is just waking up. Comporta is more commonly associated with “Herdade da Comporta”, the 43-kilometer-long strip of land on the Alentejo coast with its seemingly endless sandy beaches languishing under an azure blue sky and traditional white-washed cottages dotted around the unspoilt countryside. With around 3,000 hours of sunshine per year, Comporta has retained its vast, quiet, untouched beauty, unlike the inter- national jet set destinations on the Côte d ́Azur, Costa del Sol and Ibiza.

The potential of this Atlantic west coast region was first discovered by José Manuel Espírito Santo, descendant of a wealthy Portuguese dynasty, who first laid eyes on it from his yacht. He went ashore and shortly afterwards acquired more land in the region. When the Banco Espírito Santo, one of Portugal ́s largest banks, including its owner José Manuel, went bankrupt a few years ago some of the land was acquired by the state. Since then the region together with the seven villages of Pego, Carvalhal, Brejos, Torre, Possanco, Carrasqueira and Comporta has been gently introduced to the type of premium tourism that favours nature conservation, exclusive hotels and holiday homes. The Comporta region is a place of longing as in “saudade” from the Portuguese which implies the longing for a reunion. Endless beaches, sweeping horizons and the sea. Quietly secluded. This place of socalled longing – the new Hamptons of Portugal – has already attracted a number of prominent millionaires who are fascinated by this unique and still almost “secret” beauty spot.

In this touching and incomparable nature, both wide, flat ground as well as the perfect ground conditions offer 100% best conditions for a unique polo destination. Only a stone’s throw from the extensive beaches of Comporta, a paradise for polo enthusiasts will be created, who will find a sunny polo home and the best conditions for their sport here all year round.

This year a new polo destination is being created in Comporta, which will be relevant as a centre for the international sport of polo throughout Europe, if not the whole world. In addition to the new Polo Club, the location and landscape, geographical features and climate are perfect for the establishment of further private polo estancias, polo fields and stables. The polo horses spend the winter here perfectly and it is possible to play all year round.
