It is one thing for a hammock-decked, palm tree-laden villa to provide retreat for your luxury getaway—it is another for it to be so peppered with personable, plush touches that one would not hesitate to call it home.
Such is the rare mix found in actor Bruce Willis’s luxurious 13,500sqft beachfront estate that just went on the market for a cool US$33 million. Perched on over 7 acres of beachfront land in the Turks and Caicos Islands’ Parrot Cay, the colossal Asian-inspired mansion made up of not one, but three, standalone villas housing a total of 11 bedrooms, 13 bathrooms and 4 pools is a sight to behold.
Aptly coined The Residence, the sunset-facing compound is Willis’ labour of love of sorts. Its construction was completed from the ground up in 2004 on the once undeveloped land that the actor purchased in 2000.
A total redesign was further completed in 2018 to imbue it with beautiful and homey architectural touches such as wrap-around upper level terraces, a shaded yoga pavilion, ceiling-high slide doors, open-air entertaining spaces, and an enormous master suite spanning the entire upper level complete with a rain shower, home office, two walk-in closets, and more.
With the property being part of the COMO Parrot Cay private estates, its impeccable hospitality provided to the homeowners—think estate management, housekeeping, provisioning, chef and even your personal butler services—is the real icing on the cake to this tropical haven.
All this sitting amidst the island’s majestic natural elements, with azure waters and abundant flora and fauna right in your backyard. High-profile A-listers and well-heeled sun-chasers are sure to find some much needed solace—and so much more—on this property.
The sale is handled by Sotheby’s International Reality.
