The Whispering Palms is a uniquely designed and constructed estate on 2.62 acres of pristine hillside in the Pilon Sector of Vieques Island. The property has spectacular views of the water and the neighboring islands of Culebra and Puerto Rico. The pride of workmanship shows throughout the recently renovated main house, pool house, caretaker's apartment, swimming pool, tropical gardens, and relocated roadway entrance and parking. The attention to detail at every level is remarkable and can be achieved only with an Owner/Builder relationship such as this one. The current Owners are longtime Vieques residents with years of construction and home design experience. They have completed a number of other island projects and posses the required knowledge needed to meet the Caribbean construction challenges. 

There are a total of 5 bedrooms, 4-and-one-half baths, and four separate fully-equipped kitchen areas. Not only is there a gourmet kitchen complete with Professional Series stainless steel appliances — gas stove, electric ovens, custom cabinetry, granite center island with second sink and raised stainless steel circular counter with comfortable seating, two huge pantries and a chef's station/message desk inside the main house — but there is also an outdoor kitchen area for grand scale entertaining adjacent to the pool area. The outdoor kitchen comes complete with grill, refrigerator, ice-maker, and wet bar. The pool house and caretaker's apartment also have their own kitchen facilities.

The main house has over 3,800 sf of living space and a very unique floor plan centered around a vaulted atrium. The 16' high dome, complete with custom mosaic, is flanked with large skylights bringing light and life into this centerpiece of the home and accenting the unique fountain with marble pool below. The living areas revolve around this hub and numerous large doorways and passageways create a wonderful indoor/outdoor relationship. In addition to the two bedrooms and two baths, kitchen, living room, breakfast area, and library/study, there is a large formal indoor dining room with seating for ten and a mahogany wet bar with frosted vessel sink, wine racks, and ice-bin. The two bedrooms each have their own en-suite bath with the Master having double vessel sinks, two separate toilet rooms, a great shower, and a unique private patio with special views to Culebra.

A newly-constructed large terrace complete with outdoor kitchen, expansive ocean views, and a number of outdoor sitting areas provides the perfect outdoor living space to be enjoyed year round. This area is just steps to the 36x16x9-foot deep pool equipped with a salt-ionization filter and surrounded by a Travertine deck. The pool features a peaceful private setting and has a unique oval shape and a beautiful custom white polished concrete coping. The positioning of the property, sitting high upon the hillside, offers soothing tropical breezes and beautiful starlit nights. It is the perfect setting to sit back, relax, take a swim, and enjoy the calm aesthetics and the rustling whisper of the palms.

The home also features custom-made plantation-style security louvered doors and windows, exquisite upgraded finishes, twp cisterns, whole-house generator hookup, double filtered purifier on city water system, two full laundry areas and lighted landscaped gardens. The two-bedroom, one-bath  Pool House comes with its own kitchenette and private driveway and entrance. Accessed on a separate level is the caretaker's apartment, with one bedroom and one bath, living area, kitchen, pantry, full laundry room, and its own private patio with Caribbean views and breezes.

This property has it all and is the true definition of turn-key. It could be the perfect estate for a private homeowner or an ideal investment as a luxury multiple-unit rental property, guesthouse, corporate retreat, or spa.
