The quiet Cayman Islands road, lined with multimillion-dollar houses along the sand, is coveted for its proximity to shopping and schools. With low traffic, it’s the type of street where children may be found playing, riding bikes or kicking a soccer ball.
The landscaped grounds offer privacy from the neighbors while the home’s sitting 15 feet above a beach ridge allows for expansive views of the reef-protected waters. Greenery includes salt-tolerant trees and native flora. A gated entrance and stone walls secure the property.

“The shape of the house, built in three connected rondavels, is inspired by traditional African homes and the heritage of the original owner/developers of the property,” says listing agent Nick Sellars of 1503 Property Group.
Within the 3,400 square feet of interiors are a first-floor living space that opens to the outdoors, four bedrooms, four full bathrooms and a powder room. “Timber vaulted ceilings throughout complement the expansive and unobstructed ocean views out from the beachfront ridge,” Sellars says.
An irregular-shaped swimming pool with a pool deck sits on the ocean side of the house, which is wrapped by patios. The shoreline is steps away.
