This was one of the first Bermuda homes we featured almost a decade ago. At the time we were only able to find a limited number of very low res photos which really didn’t do the property justice, so we were very happy to stumble across these images recently.
Leamington Caves Estate is an absolutely stunning, one-of-a-kind property. It combines wonderful architecture with a unique location including one of the few safely accessible private limestone caves on the island of Bermuda.
Situated on almost 1.5 acres, the property consists of a main 5 bedroom house which is entered through an award-winning foyer with a vaulted buttery ceiling. The main living space features cathedral ceilings with Tauraniro wood exposed rafters and joists. Purple heart wood stairs, Brazilian cherry wood flooring and cedar accents feature throughout the home. The master suite takes pride of place on the penthouse level and has its own private verandah and a sitting area-cum-office.
This is a house built for entertaining with a number of private inner courtyards, patios and a built-in bar area. A handcrafted bridge made of cedar traverses mature gardens to an infinity-edge pool with its calming effect and sunny sitting areas with views across to the waters of Harrington Sound.
So far so stunning, but the we saved the best for last. The most distinctive feature of the property has to be Leamington Cave itself. The fully lit cave is accessed by three concrete staircases and its caverns are perfect for exploration, swimming or kayaking off a wooden dock.
