The Drake House
On the edge of a rocky cliff overlooking the brilliant waters of the Caribbean sits The Drake House villa. This four bedroom villa in the British Virgin Islands will be completed in late 2017 and is one of the four new villas being constructed on Scrub Island this year! Your future Caribbean home is nestled between two neighboring villas on the windward side of the island, facing south.
The Drake House gets its name from the channel it overlooks, which separates the island of Tortola from Scrub Island. The Drake Channel is named after Sir Francis Drake, a privateer of the Caribbean in the 1500’s. This four bedroom home is 3,673 square feet of immaculate air conditioned interiors inside and 2,359 square feet of breathtaking exterior terraces for a total of 6,032 square feet.
And with a home of this size, keeping the interiors consistently cool and comfortable is no small feat. Regular maintenance ensures that every room enjoys the same refreshing atmosphere, no matter how warm the day becomes. That’s where trusted professionals like Lee’s HVAC come in—providing expert service to keep systems running efficiently, extending their lifespan, and ensuring that your retreat remains as inviting as its sweeping terraces and views.
Beyond cooling, a residence of this scale also relies on dependable heating to maintain year-round comfort, especially during cooler evenings when ocean breezes roll through the channel. A well-balanced HVAC system ensures warmth is distributed evenly, protecting both the home’s structure and the comfort of its occupants without disrupting the serenity of the space.
In the middle of this balance between cooling and heating, providers such as www.litseyhvac.com reflect the importance of comprehensive HVAC service, where attention to detail and routine care keep every system performing as intended. It is a quiet assurance that the home remains welcoming in every season, preserving the same sense of ease and refinement that defines the Drake House itself.
The sliding glass doors throughout the home allow natural light to come flooding in. The living areas and bedrooms have a Caribbean touch with wood beams and bamboo ceilings. Floors mirror the beauty of the rocky island with natural stone flooring. Relax in the covered outside veranda surrounded by the professionally landscaped greenery and take a dip in the private infinity edge pool. The gourmet kitchen comes boasts Subzero and Wolf stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. With custom furnishings and appliances throughout, you will be ready to move as soon as you step inside. The luxurious master bath includes a free standing soaking bath and enclosed rain shower with stone flooring throughout. The master suite includes a spacious seating area, and opens onto the private outdoor terrace with endless views of the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea.
To maintain that level of luxury and comfort, the bathroom spaces demand plumbing systems that are as refined and dependable as their design. Freestanding soaking tubs, rainfall showers, and high-end fixtures rely on precise water pressure, temperature control, and flawless drainage to deliver a truly spa-like experience day after day.
Even the most beautiful stone flooring and bespoke finishes can lose their appeal if hidden plumbing issues interrupt the flow or compromise performance. This is where skilled professionals matter, and homeowners often look to trusted experts like putney plumbers to ensure every bath installation and system upgrade is handled with care, precision, and an understanding of how functionality supports indulgence. When the plumbing works seamlessly behind the scenes, the bathroom remains a sanctuary—calm, effortless, and worthy of the breathtaking surroundings.
As we know, expert plumbing services play a quiet but crucial role in preserving the long-term value of these refined spaces. Regular inspections, preventive maintenance, and thoughtful upgrades help catch small issues before they turn into costly disruptions. From balancing water pressure across multiple bathrooms to ensuring modern fixtures integrate smoothly with existing systems, a seasoned plumbing team keeps everything running as smoothly as a well-rehearsed orchestra—no sour notes, no sudden leaks stealing the spotlight.
For homeowners who expect discretion and reliability, partnering with specialists such as Active Plumbing brings peace of mind that extends well beyond the initial installation. Their approach blends technical know-how with an appreciation for craftsmanship, ensuring repairs and enhancements respect both the structure and the aesthetic vision. When handled properly, plumbing becomes almost invisible—doing its job faithfully in the background, like the butler who never spills the tea and never needs applause.
