Mount Irvine, Pinehurst Drive RS373 TT$3,500,000

The Mount Irvine hotel and golf course residential development is one of Tobago’s best-known areas for holiday villas due to the proximity of the sea and the golf course.  Pinehurst Drive lies to the east of the course at the start of the Orange Hill Road that connects across to Scarborough.   The property is on the up-side of the road and has an easy slope to the garden 20,300 s.f. with an expansive view west to the reef.  The house itself was built in the early 1980s when the island first began to develop as a tourism destination.  On two levels, the smaller ground floor of 1,000 s.f. offers an entrance into the dining area, kitchen and laundry room, half-bath, and one bedroom with ensuite bathroom off the hall.  Up a metal spiral staircase is the larger first floor of approx. 2,000 s.f. with a small landing area and a long corridor leading to the three air-conditioned bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and fitted cupboards, each opening onto an enclosed but outdoor terrace.   At the other end of the corridor is a covered open-air terrace / sitting room with bar that gives a more elevated view over the trees to Buccoo Reef and the sunset.    Off the long corridor is a side door to the garden which opens onto a lovely pool and tiled deck that enjoys a wonderful view of the distant Caribbean.    There is ample water storage, garden storage and a pump room.   This is a delightful location for visitors or permanent residents, but due to the age of the house, there are upgrades needed to modernize bathrooms and kitchen, but a lot more could be done with the property to maximize its potential.      The house is of standard block construction, metal sheet roof and has basic items of furniture.
