Christmas comes but once a year and we at VIPY always attempt an extra special effort to bestow a pleasurable, visual feast in our publication to go alongside your turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and Brussel sprouts.
We hope not to disappoint, opening with a feature exhibiting the rare beauty Katitche Point Greathouse. The architectural finesse of this extremely popular vacation villa has won awards and countless magazine features. Currently for sale, this is an investment opportunity as unique as the property itself.
Following, we return to the BVI’s past to understand what formed the foundations of the legendary Leverick Bay Resort and Marina and the transformation of the North Sound VG area.
Coldwell Banker BVI unveil their big six – a series of phenomenal retreats all seeking a fortunate, new owner with an astute business eye.
With Virgin Gorda’s Blunder Bay Estates, we review their current construction projects that foretell of some extremely exquisite new homes to bless the yachting capital of the Caribbean.
BVI HomeSense points us in the right direction when looking for that perfect vacation villa with five factors for thought. And, VIPY Stylish Spaces is back! Our second year running, this prestigious competition celebrates the BVI real estate industry with individuals submitting their aesthetically pleasing properties—residential and/or commercial—to be reviewed by our panel of industry professional judges. We look forward to an even greater number of entries this year; see more information inside.
