Eleven arched doors open onto the expansive porch, creating a natural flow between indoor and outdoor living and an inviting space for entertaining. From this incredibly private setting, watch cruise ships, superyachts, and sailing vessels make their way across the water, with the ever-changing Caribbean landscape as your backdrop.
Designed with both beauty and purpose in mind, High Watch is exceptionally well-equipped for self-sufficient island living. The home features 28 solar panels, 3 Tesla Powerwalls, a 14kW whole-house generator, third-generation Starlink internet, and 3 cisterns providing a combined 40,000 gallons of water storage.
