US$4,000,000 | 4 Bedrooms | 5 Bathrooms | 1 Powder Room | Land: 31,054 sq. ft. | Floor: 6,500 sq. ft. | Furnished

Tortuga sits on one of Turtleback Ridge’s prime ridgefront sites, and properties like this rarely change hands. You feel it the moment you step through the courtyard—quiet, private, surrounded by mature foliage—and then the view opens up and stops you in your tracks. The Caribbean Sea stretches out before you, and because of the elevation, the breezes roll through all day.

This is a substantial home built from coral stone, and the craftsmanship shows. It feels solid, timeless, and designed for real living. The layout delivers the level of space that buyers in this price bracket expect, without feeling overdone or formal. It’s relaxed. It’s comfortable. It’s the kind of home where family and friends stay longer than planned.

A home designed around the view

The ground floor flows easily from one space to the next. You walk from the courtyard into the main reception area, and straight ahead, the verandah frames the sea like a movie screen. Off to the side, you have a guest suite, a bright powder room, a contemporary office, and a kitchen with its own bar—always a popular feature for entertaining.

The covered terraces run long and wide, ideal for slow breakfasts, lazy afternoons, or dinners outdoors. Just steps away, the heated infinity-edge pool overlooks the gardens and coastline.

Behind the scenes, the home is practical too. A full laundry room, pantry, and staff quarters sit neatly out of the way, and the covered walkways make everything easy to access, even on a rainy day.

Upstairs: calm, comfort, and proper suites

The first floor holds two more bedroom suites and a quiet study. The standout, though, is the primary suite. It’s a genuine retreat with a high tray ceiling, spa-style bathroom, separate dressing room, and two walk-in closets. The suite opens to two private balconies—one facing the west coast, the other looking east—so you get sunrise and sunset without leaving your room.

Separate guest cottage

The one-bedroom cottage sits at the northwestern corner of the property. Guests enjoy their own independence and views of both the pool and the sea. It works equally well for visiting family or long-term stays.

Updated and well-maintained

The owners have kept Tortuga in excellent condition. One of the key recent upgrades is the new Enviroshake roof, a long-life, premium roofing option that performs well in the Caribbean climate.

Turtleback Ridge: a favourite with long-term residents

Turtleback Ridge attracts homeowners who value peace, space, and privacy. The community is gated, and because it sits atop Sion Hill, you’re far enough from the coastline to enjoy cooler temperatures and a quieter atmosphere, but still just ten minutes from Holetown’s beaches, restaurants, bars, and shopping.

If you’re looking for a substantial ridgefront home with serious views and a layout tailored to laid-back island living, Tortuga is worth seeing in person.
