Usually it's not that difficult to select 10 or so photos of a property for a feature, but we must admit, when it came to this property in Parrot Cay of the Turks and Caicos Islands, we had a hard time being selective. Just look at it; can you really blame us? On the market for $39 million, this seven-acre beachfront compound looks like something a yoga guru dreamt up one night after seeing a triple rainbow.
“This is a property with unmistakable global appeal—an ultra-luxury hideaway with unique character and the most desirable of attributes,” says Rick Moeser, Senior Vice President, Regional Manager of Christie’s International Real Estate. “Given its size, scope and enviable privacy, this resort-style compound is certainly a rarity on the landscape.”
The property is actually an extension of what is known as "The Sanctuary," fashion designer Donna Karan's private island retreat. It is not only surrounded by lush green plants, but it also faces the ocean and gives pretty great views of the surrounding island. The property has two, four-bedroom villa estates—each one with a master bedroom on the second floor, three en-suite bathrooms, and an infinity pool.
Designed by Singapore-based architect Cheong Yew Kuan and built with New York’s Bonetti/Kozerski Studio, the interiors feature exotic details like "cedar and coral stone walls, European walnut floors, lightly filled raw travertine baths, teak furniture and eclectic works of art from Bali to Africa."
“Sanctuary was custom designed to not only be a family-friendly destination for achieving balance and tranquility, but the restoration of wellness,” says Katherine Baryluk of Regency, an exclusive affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate. “With its tranquil setting and impressive scale along the turquoise western shores of Parrot Cay, this is the ultimate ‘sanctuary’ for the most discerning of buyers looking for five-star, 24-hour services on a private island.”
