Loblolly is a five-bedroom, 3 1/2-bathroom residence situated on a magnificent hillside brow on the south side of Tortola. It has exceptional views of the Sir Francis Drake Channel and surrounding islands, spanning from Virgin Gorda to St. John, USVI. This secluded property, extending to over six acres of land, is a rarity in the BVI as it offers an elevated position on almost flat land. A charming, tree-lined driveway leads to this grand house in the style of a plantation villa. The living room is spacious, light and airy. The formal dining room can easily seat 10 people and the kitchen is fit for a professional chef. The family room doubles as the entertainment center with a large-screen TV and surround-sound system. The study, which includes the library, is the archetypal, richly decorated, cigar smoking, port drinking refuge, of the man of the house; a cool, subdued haven from the hustle and bustle of a busy household. The terraces and covered porches open onto the grassy lawn that leads to the beautiful swimming pool, pool house and outbuilding. The pool was designed with a family in mind; there is a safe paddling area at one end for small children and deep water suitable for the springboard at the other end with a channel joining the two circular areas enabling laps to be swum. The outbuilding houses storage, water pumps and the air-conditioned wine cellar. Much thought has gone into this grand design: a huge water catchment area which feeds the multiple cisterns that hold about 140,000 gallons combined; a chicken-run the like of which has never been seen before - designed along the lines of a Buddhist temple a place for chickens to meditate; the gardens carefully planned and planted with many different fruit trees including drip irrigation and a covered potting area; a lovely nature walk has been cut through the woods where you can see the property from above and the ocean and islands beyond. This really is a grand house with a grand view.
