Location. Finished in 2007, Jungle Stone is the most recent addition to the exclusive Catherineburg neighborhood. Nestled into the hillside of St. John’s famed North Shore, this lavish home enjoys spectacular views of the turquoise waters and white sands of Cinnamon Bay. Cinnamon Bay is completely surrounded by the Virgin Islands National Park, which provides this elite locality with extensive peace and (clothing optional) privacy. With its oversized lot and gorgeous location, this estate is truly one of the most tranquil and picturesque settings on St. John.

Perched above the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean Sea, Jungle Stone overlooks miles of lush National Park land, as well as Whistling Cay, Mary Point, and the distant hills of Jost Van Dyke. Cinnamon and Trunk Bay lie below and offer excellent swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, wind surfing, sunbathing, and stress-free relaxation. Still, if you feel the need for civilization, the restaurants, grocers, and boutiques of Cruz Bay are only a 10-15 minute drive through St. John’s scenic National Park

Design. Jungle Stone is supremely unique in both its style and design.  Weathered wood shingles give this home a distinctive New England flair, but just step out on to the sweeping veranda and you’ll be instantly transported from the bluffs of Nantucket to the sun-drenched coast of the Caribbean.
Designed by the recognized architect Michael Helm, whose other tropical homes have appeared in Architectural Digest, Jungle Stone was skillfully crafted to provide a sense of true quality and structural excellence.  From the cathedral ceilings to the open breezeway, this high-end villa is the quintessential example of Caribbean elegance.  Filled with a multitude of luxurious amenities and state-of-the-art features, Jungle Stone combines the simple pleasures of island life with lavish elements of the modern world.

You enter this very private gated estate on a driveway that leads through natural boulders, native stonework, and colorful gardens to the estate’s two villas, Jungle Stone and The Pebble Cottage.  Down through a stone archway and blossoming tropical foliage, the antique English doors open to reveal a vibrant custom-designed stained glass panel and the impressive interior of the main villa, Jungle Stone.  The main level of the house is comprised of the great room, the kitchen, the loggia, and the breezeway.  Looking toward Cinnamon Bay, to the left is the Blue Lagoon Suite on the main level, and the Tree House Suite on the upper level.  To the right, above the loggia is the Master Suite, while the Parrot Suite is located on the garden level along with the fitness room.  A covered veranda runs the length of the main house and provides access to the sundeck and pool below. Jungle Stone’s multi-level deck space is certainly a highlight of this villa.  Sun-drenched decks surround the pool and stainless steel 8-person hot tub, all of which enjoy light tropical breezes and a breathtaking view.  Cool off in the shade of the covered veranda, which is equipped for outdoor dining and lounging, or enjoy a sunset cocktail from the beautiful, built-in jungle-style mahogany bar.

The Loggia. For those less familiar with the term, a loggia is an architectural feature that is native to classic Italian villas and is defined as an internal room open to the air. Jungle Stone’s loggia is certainly true to classic Italian style with its magnificent arches and Venetian columns, however it does maintain a distinctive Caribbean flair. Sit back and enjoy the gentle trade winds, as well as the spectacular view of turquoise waters and emerald isles framed by the wide white arches of the loggia, which can also be electronically closed to provide protection from occasional midday drizzles or late-night showers. Although it’s the perfect place to lounge on a lazy Caribbean day, this room is also a wonderful space for formal dining, with a table that has seating for 10. This very unique space is finely finished with comfortable furniture, a custom-built mahogany ceiling, stone floors, and an intricately carved, colorful wooden doorframe that leads to the Parrot Suite below and the Master Suite above. Finally, the loggia features a high-powered telescope that offers a close-up look at the lovely vistas beyond and the starry skies above.

Kitchen. Just off the great room is Jungle Stone’s spacious gourmet kitchen. With mahogany cabinets, granite countertops, and stone floors, it is beautifully finished and readily equipped for even the most discriminating kitchen connoisseur. Amenities are all state-of-the-art and stainless steel, and include: a 6-burner Professional Viking gas range, 2 Viking dual-burner thermal convection ovens, 2 dishwashers, 2 sinks, microwave, stand-alone freezer, and an oversized refrigerator, as well as a wine cooler and an ice maker installed in the central island. Stored in the additional space of the 10’x14’ caterer’s kitchen are many luxury appliances, including a waffle iron, ice cream and sorbet maker, slushy and snow cone maker, electric juicer, and electric rice warmer.

Pocket doors provide access to an outdoor grill and prep area off of the caterer’s kitchen that offers storage in custom-built mahogany cabinets and boasts a 6-burner Viking Professional gas grill with rotisserie and barbeque smoker.  Welcome home, Iron Chefs!

One of the villa’s two office areas, with high-speed WIFI access, is located in a sunny corner of the kitchen along with a breakfast nook.  Just off of this space is a charming epi wood patio, complete with an herb garden, fragrant flower bushes, and fruit trees that make this the perfect place for early morning coffee or a casual meal.

There are two more bedrooms in the west wing of Jungle Stone; the first is the Blue Lagoon Suite on the main level. This suite features an office area which is equipped with an antique writing desk, a printer, a fax machine, and high-speed WIFI connectivity. This room has two private patios – one connects to the open veranda and overlooks Peter Bay - while the other is a screened-in sitting porch on the garden level. In addition to the king-sized bed, this suite also features a daybed that is perfect for families with small children.
Located above the breezeway is the Tree House Suite. This room features a full bathroom with white shell-style sinks, an adjoining closet, and 18’ cathedral ceilings. The special feature of this suite is the nook and daybed sectioned off from the rest of the room by bamboo sliding panels. Parents at Jungle Stone can sleep soundly knowing that their children are so close, while kids will feel as though they’re in their own little tree house high atop the Caribbean!

The Pebble Cottage. Located behind the main villa is the lovely one-bedroom guesthouse known as The Pebble Cottage. This charming addition to the estate fits in perfectly with Jungle Stone’s unique design and eclectic style. Up a flight of coral stone stairs, you’ll find the entrance to this fabulous mini-villa. Guests will adore the Pebble’s retro-chic kitchen with its 4-burner range, refrigerator, and dishwasher – all reminiscent of 50’s style, but actually brand new. Just off the kitchen is a sunny living room with 15’ cathedral ceilings, a flat screen TV, and a sizeable office space complete with a printer, fax machine, Bose Wave CD/stereo system, and WIFI connectivity. 10’x7’ by-folding doors open onto a large screened-in porch, and make this cozy living room very spacious.

The Fitness Room. Located on the garden level along with the Parrot Suite is Jungle Stone’s own fitness room. This home gym features a Precor Strength Multi-Station Body Workshop for toning and weight training, as well a Precor elliptical machine and Stretch Trainer.

From antique brick and coral stone tiles to tropical hardwoods and granite countertops, it’s clear that nothing but the best would suffice in the construction and design of this fabulous home.

In addition to the estate’s spectacular design, both Jungle Stone and The Pebble Cottage boast some of the finest décor on the island. Similar to Kismet and Cinnamon Breeze, the interior of this villa is beautifully finished and sumptuously decorated. The owners worked with a noted interior designer to create a unique atmosphere for this signature home. The theme here is casual chic, and the interior ambiance – a blend of original sculpture and local art with many antiques and period pieces from around the world – evokes a feeling of eclectic elegance.
