Description
Set on over four acres of gently sloping land and surrounded by pristine, manicured lawns, Great River House commands sweeping views of the sea and all the perks required for a fun tropical getaway in the sun. The property features mature trees including fine citrus and pimento alongside flowering plants, shrubs and royal palms that are gently lit in the evening to create a private, secluded and romantic environment. The grounds are fenced and entered through wrought iron gates ensuring complete privacy at all times.

Many grassy areas are readily available for outdoor games with badminton and croquet equipment supplied. An extraordinary serpentine infinity pool overlooks the lush green hillside down to the deep blue Caribbean Sea. A full staff, including security, is provided.
Designed in 1956 by one of Delaware’s leading architects, Great River House’s complete 2007 renovation by well known modernist architect Tom Reed combines an elegant ambiance, a stunning expanse and state of the art technology within a practical and airy layout.

The living areas are filled with locally crafted mahogany furniture that preserve the old Jamaican great house feel.
Five stately bedrooms accommodate up to ten guests at Great River House. Bedrooms include en-suite washroom, air conditioning and ceiling fans. The wooden bed posts and frames add a sense of warmth to the atmosphere and the views are just incredible.
