The owner of this Dream House left Jamaica as a child for the United States, and would become an investment banker and a real estate developer. On her return to the island, she purchased this property in the sought-after residential area of Coral Gardens, outside of Montego Bay, St James. But she hated the house! So, she demolished it and erected her dream mansion in its place.

The three-floor structure was built in 2014 on a one-third-acre lot. Spanning a voluminous 12,000 square feet, the residence incorporates arched openings and rounded walls throughout. There are 10 bedroom suites featuring balconies and ensuite bathrooms, with muscle-relaxing whirlpool tubs, walk-in showers, and floating double-sink vanities.

Living and dining areas, a pool table section that serves as the social hub of the house, together with an island dining counter, kitchen and pantry, add to the home’s welcoming spatial offerings. Through the windows, the spectacular blue Caribbean Sea always commands attention.
