Villa Le Moulin St Barts. Located directly on the waterfront of the popular St. James area of St. Barts is the historic Villa Le Moulin. Once a working mill during the island's colonial era, it is today a three-bedroom property full of luxurious amenities in addition to its scenic location and proximity to some of the island's best restaurants, shops and sights.

Interestingly enough, this lovely villa does not just sit on the grounds of the former mill but actually contains what remains of the original structure. A charming, round stone mill sits along the edge of the sand and houses one of the three spacious bedrooms. Opening to the gardens, it is a wonderful and enchanting spot to savor your visit, but the rest of the property is just as delightful.

After all, it is fully landscaped with lush, manicured gardens that include swaying palms, blooming vines and native species that create the ultimate hideaway. Savor the views of your surroundings from the array of outdoor living spaces that dot the entire property. There is a verandah that wraps one side of the villa and frames one edge of the elegant pool. Newly added, the pool is a serene spot to soak up the sun or relax in the shade. It is also a great spot for star gazing, sunrise or sunset viewing and hours of leisure. There is a larger covered terrace near the pool and it contains an outdoor living room and al fresco dining suite.

Inside, the open floor plan allows you to enjoy the views from anywhere and you can do so at the formal dining room, the large living room or the gourmet kitchen. You can also enjoy views from the two bedrooms in the main house. They are king suites with private baths and terrace access.

If you like historic properties and wish for privacy, comfort and luxury during a visit to St. Barts, the Villa Le Moulin is for you.
