There are Caribbean homes, and there are Caribbean homes. This is the latter.

The 9,672-square-foot manse is located on Anguilla’s Meads Bay, an 8-bathroom and 10-bathroom modern palace with 4,508 square feet of exterior terrace.

The property is also an SV project, meaning the SVMB Plus firm takes care of maintenance and service, along with supplying private chefs, butlers and other amenities.

The price? $20.5 million. Anguilla Properties Sotheby’s International Realty’s Scott Hauser has the listing.

Why not take a permanent vacation to Anguilla?
