Property Description

This rare offering is a magnificent & historic 4.01 acres site situated high on a bluff above Bordeaux Bay & the vast Atlantic Ocean containing the ruins of the former Bordeaux Estate Great House. Estate Bordeaux at 499.1 acres, was one of the largest estates on St. Thomas whose acreage remained unchanged from 1685 to 1955. The estate was given to the Brandenburg Company in 1685 by King Christian V of Denmark and was held by the Brandenburgers and Thomas Bordeaux, the last Director of the Company until his death in 1735. A brief visit to this iconic site with its incessant tropical breezes and incredible breath-taking ocean vistas leaves no doubt as to the reason this coveted portion of the estate was chosen for the placement of the Great House. This acreage is unique in its historical significance as well as its raw beauty, as it takes you back in time & bears the characteristics of an unforgettable National Geographic coastal scene. "Estate Bordeaux of St. Thomas" was listed on the US Historical Register of Historic Places in 1978.
