Located on a 0.7 acre site at Shannon, a hillside estate in north central Tortola with spectacular views of Jost Van Dyke and surrounding islands, this private villa is ideally located in the lush hills of the island at about 1,000 ft above sea level and benefits from the higher elevation and year round reduced temperatures. Thanks to its central position the beaches of the north shore and Road Town are all within easy driving distance.
