Situated at Emerald Point in the gated Leeward community, one of Providenciales' most prestigious and sought-after locations in the Turks and Caicos Islands, sits Villa Allegria. A beautiful modern, open plan property just footsteps from the tip of the world-renowned Grace Bay Beach.

The Villa sits on .81 acres of prime real estate with 125 feet of pristine, powder-soft white sandy beach frontage that blends seamlessly with the well-thought-out exterior living spaces of the Villa Allegria.

The Villa is a contemporary, open-plan design spanning almost 6,500 square feet. The living space is spread over three levels, each level offering superb turquoise blue ocean views from a myriad of vantage points.

Comprising six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, the main floor provides a garden view bedroom, open plan kitchen, media room or library, living and dining room. All designed with the intention and flow that guides you toward a stunning infinity-edge pool and surrounding deck for lounging and sunbathing. From there, you can meander to a pristine beach where you can enjoy all of the activities a perfect Caribbean vacation home could offer.

Two beautiful bedrooms and an entertainment room are located on the ground floor, also flowing seamlessly toward an expansive beachfront deck where you have a stunning evening retreat to enjoy cocktails and great conversation about the day's activities surrounding a relaxing firepit.

The upper level boasts two superb ocean view bedrooms with spacious balconies that look out over the ocean and toward Mangrove Cay, which hosts some of the most beautiful natural scenery in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

The Villa easily accommodates a large family and is the perfect vacation home, and when not in residence, it makes for a great income-producing property.

The Allegria is lushly landscaped and affords excellent privacy being set back from the road by a lovely gravel driveway that opens up to expose the Villa through tall Palms and the many varieties of flora and fauna.

If taking peaceful walks across pure white sands or appreciating breathtaking views of turquoise waters is your picture of a dream home. Or adventuring out on a kayak to explore the mangroves and experience the magnificent exotic birds, lemon sharks, stingrays, or the Rock Iguanas on Iguana Cay, then Villa Allegria is perfect for you.

Whilst Villa Allegria is ideally situated at Emerald Point in Leeward, you are just over 2 miles from Grace Bay Village, mere minutes from all it has to offer with fine luxury dining, bars, and shops. Golfers will want to book a tee time at The Royal Turks and Caicos Golf Club, a short 2.5 miles from the property.

Last but not least, the Villa is easily accessible upon arrival at Provo International Airport or one of our two private airports. A mere 8-mile away or about a 15-minute drive as we don't have 'rush hour' in the Turks and Caicos.

Address: 36 Prince Of Wales Road, Leeward, Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands, BWI

Price: $6,999,000USD

Robert Greenwood was hosted by Haute Media Group Cofounder Seth Semilof. Watch their conversation below.

The topics included Greenwood’s illustrious career with credible experience abroad building an understanding of his clientele, joining the highly esteemed Christie's International team, and his eventual ascendancy in the Turks & Caicos Islands luxury real estate market.

Robert Greenwood is on a Directors and Partner of Regency-Christie's International Real Estate, operating as one of the firm's Senior Brokers and Real Estate Advisors and a member of the Christie's Masters Circle. With veteran knowledge and proficiencies in high-value sales, resort management, development, and offshore investment, he has more than 35 years of personal work experience within the Turks and Caicos Islands. His extensive portfolio includes golf courses, condominiums, colleges, and hotel resort projects. Being affiliated with Christie's International Real Estate for almost a decade now, Greenwood has gained invaluable experience in the luxury real estate market guiding buyers with experience, professionalism, and trust.

Here are some of the questions and answers from the exclusive interview with Greenwood.

Seth Semilof: What exactly is a partner of the Regency Christie's International Real Estate and member of the Christie's Masters Circle?

Robert Greenwood: Christie's International Real Estate is one of the top luxury real estate brands in the world. We have been affiliated with Christie's for almost two decades now. With an investment angle, that has really helped us with our global exposure and the trust of the brand name. We have a fantastic team here at Christie's in the Turks and Caicos Islands with a breadth of knowledge. It is a great collaboration with Christie's and our team of 10 agents works very efficiently in the high-net-worth, high-value world of real estate.

SS: What made you want to get into real estate on the buy and sell side?

RG: It happened organically. At one point, I did the triad where I had a management company, a construction company, and a real estate company where one would feed the other. I did that for a long time, but I always gravitated towards real estate. I love the different styles of architecture. I really enjoy interacting with the people that we meet here. We get such a wide demographic of buyers from across the world, and you never know who you are actually dealing with everything from A-listers to captains of industry. The Turks is not just reserved for mega villas in the $20 million range. We are very price affordable in certain areas and certain condos, so I get to meet some incredible people.

SS: How was the island when you first launched the brokerage firm? What was your strategy?

RG: It was certainly very different than it is today. We did not have the technology that we have today. We did not have the inventory that we had today, but we also did not have the amount of brokerages. There are 16 brokerages within the Turks, but back then, it was three or four. It has always been very word of mouth in the Turks and Caicos Islands. It was slow-moving. Operating a real estate company was not aggressive at all and did not need to be. I do say quite often I have never really sold any real estate. The island already does that for me. My job is to simply guide you through the process.

SS: Tell us about who your mentor was or who helped mold you into where you are at today.

RG: I cannot mention his name, but he has an extensive background in commercial real estate in Canada. He was actually one of my first sales. The majority of my clients become my friends. You have to have the passion and the love of what you do. I love living in the Turks and Caicos Islands. I love what I do and love the people I meet. People see that and they recognize it is authentic. That is what makes the difference. You can read all the books you would like. You can have all the mentors you like. You can learn all the psychology of sales, but it really comes down to true authenticity. Make sure buyers get what they want. They will tell you everything you need to know.

SS: Who are the buyers? Where are they coming from?

RG: A lot of buyers are from the United States. It is a big demographic for us, and we are so easy to get to. It is a hop, skip, and a jump three and a half hours from New York. 90 minutes from Miami. We have direct flights from Charlotte, from Atlanta, and from Houston. Now, we are getting interest from new demographics in California and Vegas. Predominantly, U.S. buyers, but Europe is another big one and South America. The grand prize here is going to be exceptional, not just for real estate, but for tourism. They go parallel when you come down here. You fall in love on vacation, and we can offer you a condo from $290,000 to $68 million or $86 million. It has the full range.

This exceptional one-of-a-kind private estate sits directly on a beautiful secluded, and serene cove layered with powder-soft white sand, calm turquoise waters, and is protected by a gorgeous finger peninsula. Villa Mani, designed in a classic Riviera style, is on the exclusive Royal Palm Island and was designed by award-winning international architect Ron Shaw and is represented by Regency – Christie’s International Real Estate in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Perched atop a 40-foot ridge Villa Mani has 9 bedrooms, 8.5 baths, a sleek kitchen, and numerous indoor and outdoor bars, and the neighbor of the former estate owned by the iconic rock legend, Prince. As one enters through the custom double entry doors, one is immediately struck by the gorgeous turquoise colors of the south shore that lay ahead. A “dancing dolphin” sculpture that graces this room and crafted by the Master of the Isle of Murano is the focal point that draws your gaze toward a three-level Infiniti edge pool. This Great Room has soaring 40-foot ceilings, a library with room for 400 books, a separate media room sits to the east, and a stylish bar and kitchen to the west. As you move through this amazing space, you pass between two majestic columns and enter the formal dining room with an original frescoed ceiling mural that is unique to this property. Complimenting the great room is a full bedroom with ensuite bathroom. Villa Mani, Provo’s most prominent “pink house on the hill”, has a master suite on the eastern side adorned with double chandeliers and 180 degrees of ocean views. This master suite features his and hers ensuite bathrooms, a two-story dressing room, outdoor shower, private deck, and a private walkway to the beach. The westerly side of Villa Mani hosts the sunset wing which includes three bedrooms to include a full ocean-view suite with a red loft bunk room and a blue loft bunk room. A full kitchen, living room, and an expansive deck that can be for your sunrise yoga, exercise, relaxing, and sunbathing. The Tower Suite is a fantastic part of the Villa Mani experience and has a three-story winding staircase that leads you to a romantic second-floor bedroom and ensuite bathroom. As you climb the stairs to the third floor, you’re greeted by an amazing observation deck with unobstructed 360-degree views of the island, and of course a rooftop bar for evening cocktails. Villa Mani’s three-level pool cascades down into a deeper pool with a shaded tiki-style swim

There are luxury villas, and then there's Paradiso Del Mar.

PM, as it's been dubbed by its creator, is more than an address. It's a statement in design that speaks to a contemporary tropical lifestyle that only a select few have ever dreamt of. We catch glimpses of such magnificence on the Gucci runway or late-night afterparties of Monaco and South Beach, but never before has it been captured in a Caribbean villa. Until now, in the Turks & Caicos Islands.

What has been a secret among the travel elite has been trending on social media, with celebrities flocking from around the world to experience the ultimate Caribbean getaway. With the Kardashians and Drake becoming regulars and the likes of Diddy making it THE destination for his legendary celebrations, the Turks & Caicos has quickly become the rising star of the Caribbean. And with luxury property in high demand, the Turks and Caicos are not simply featured on celebrity Twitter feeds; it's also the destination of choice for serious offshore investors who knows something extraordinary when they see it.

Location is everything, and the properties signature Architect and creator have chosen well. Sitting on almost one acre of prime real estate in the upscale neighbourhood of Turtle Tail and Royal Palm island on the Southside of Providenciales, the villa provides you with privacy yet remains accessible to everything the island has to offer. If you ever chose to leave the villa, that is!

Paradiso Del Mar also boasts 119 linear feet of pristine beachfront and is surrounded by beautiful palms and a host of tropical landscape that opens up to an electric blue playground where you can enjoy your days sunning at the water's edge, relaxing on one of the shaded Cabanas or enjoying a massage in the custom two-person massage Cabana. A myriad of toys are available, so if you feel adventurous, you can paddle or Kayak out across the calm waters of the bay to a little uninhabited cay that lies just beyond.

The lush private gardens are the cue to a grand entrance that fits something from an Ian Fleming novel, with cascading steps that beckons you toward the grand entrance and entices and excites you with the allure of what lays beyond. Setting foot inside is a moment not soon forgotten as you're struck by the views of the crystalline waters and the sheer scale of the property that unfolds in all directions. While modern and awe-inspiring, the space remains warm and inviting thanks to carefully chosen artwork and design accents that feature throughout.

PM features an incredible 24,000 square feet of living space with ten bedrooms, nine bathrooms, three half bathrooms and a fully loaded private penthouse nestled on the pinnacle third floor where you are can enjoy unparalleled 360-degree views from a rooftop deck so grand it would typically be reserved for a small boutique hotel.

With its spacious open-plan living space, the living room, dining room and kitchen all give way to floor-to-ceiling glass doors leading to an all-encompassing infinity-edge pool— lap pool, lounge pool and wading pool. An element that deserves its own feature in Architectural Digest is positioned masterfully within the living space, yet stretching out toward the private beach, it marries the two spaces inviting the occupant to walk out and enjoy everything the property has to offer.

A sunken poolside firepit lounge creates an intimate nook for privacy without overtly saying so. The ample lounge seating gives multiple vantage points to sit peacefully with your thoughts or welcome conversation with others. When a face-to-face connection is such a privilege, the backdrop of the property provides an inspiring setting to catch up with old friends or make new ones.

As you reenter the villa and climb the grand staircase to the second level, you're met by an inviting open-plan media room with floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors and a large balcony that provides stunning elevated ocean views. The second-floor bedrooms flow seamlessly from one to next, each with its own balcony and exquisite en-suite bathroom and highest quality finishes and fixtures. In addition, the select master bedrooms are exceptionally spacious, with full walk-in dressing rooms and master bathrooms with tremendous shower rooms designed to face the ocean so you can enjoy the stunning turquoise waters of the Caicos Banks.

While impressive, these headlines only provide you with an idea of scale; it mises the hard to describe vibe and soul of this one of a kind property. Something you can only get by being here and immersing yourself in Paradiso Del Mar.

Every aspect of the space has been carefully considered and designed with the occupant's experience at its core. From the contrast of the sharp, clean lines against a backdrop of soft swaying palms to the crisp white modernness that accentuates the brilliant turquoise waters glimmering far out to the horizon.

However, as the name implies, when 'PM' rolls around, and the sun has done its work for the day, this fantastic estate villa becomes an entertainment mecca and would be a perfect location to host an awards afterparty with your favourite DJs such as Avicii and 400 of your closest friends and celebrity guests.

Properties like PM in a place like Turks & Caicos are not just rare. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience, let alone own. We are privileged to be part of the legacy of this unique property and invite you to be part of something truly extraordinary.

Villa Panorama has, without any doubt, one of the most stunning elevated views in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Perched atop one of the highest points in the beautiful Turtle Tail neighborhood, a neighborhood emerging as one of the island's top locations, on the aptly named Ocean Drive, this fantastic gated villa is a sensation for anyone looking for that dream home in paradise. Breathtaking views surround you with indescribable hues of turquoise blue that extend to the horizon across the Caicos Banks. Built with open interior living spaces and outside decks with a beautiful pool and a myriad of thoughtfully created nooks that allow you to enjoy the outdoors no matter the time of day or night. It is equally as amazing for admiring the turquoise ocean that's just minutes away as it is gazing at the night sky where the stars feel as if they are at your very fingertips.

The upper floor of Villa Panorama is where you will experience the master bedroom and its en-suite bathroom, a second bedroom and en-suite and the family room or media room. The lower level comes complete with a gourmet kitchen inclusive of granite countertops and high-end appliances and a spacious living and dining room. The lower level also has a third bedroom and bathroom. Another one of Villa Panorama's great features is the wrap-around decks that allow you to explore the 360-degree views of Flamingo Lake and the Turquoise Banks. To the East of the main Villa sits a standalone one-bedroom cottage for visiting family, friends, or Nanny. Villa Panorama makes for a perfect full-time home, vacation home, and short-term rental property. Access to all of the island's restaurants and grocery stores is a short 15-minute drive from the villa, so you can remain connected when you want yet enjoy full privacy when you don't.

"As we move out of 2020, we have seen significant increases in both inquiries and sales activity for our real estate product in the TCI.  We expect this trend to continue and strengthen exponentially through 2021. The myriad of benefits the islands offer and the fact that we fared so well during the pandemic has shown the TCI to be more desirable than ever before." - Robert Greenwood, Turks & Caicos Islands.

"I expect that real estate in the Caribbean will continue to gain exposure and increase in desire. If 2020 has shown us anything, it's just how important our surroundings are to living a happy and healthy life. With Antigua's low infection rate, low crime rate, low-density population, warm climate, and health and active lifestyle options, we have seen an increase in the interest of both homeownership and Holiday rental inquiries. People are eager to experience what life can be like in a safe, tropical environment." - Justin White, Antigua.

How did the real estate market look at the beginning of 2020?

Q1 of 2020 set out to break records. It indeed exceeded the previous years' successes by increasing the dollar volume of sales for the residential market by over 60% across the board, with Villa and Single Family home sales doubling from 2019, up over 120%. It's also important to note that not only did we break the ceiling as it relates to the dollar volume of sales but that of our Average Sell Price, which increased exponentially. We in the real estate community had the sense that the momentum we had gained toward the end of 2019, and the ever-increasing popularity of the Turks and Caicos would drive sales to a record number, believing firmly that 2020 would be the year to beat all years.

What, if any, changes did the pandemic have on prices? On inventory?

Moving into Q2 as Covid-19 was first realized globally, the Turks and Caicos Islands, along with the rest of the world looked to find equilibrium and understand their circumstances.

As we collectively understood more about the issues related to the Virus, it was clear that a significant factor which contributed to its spread was personal contact, leaving highly populated areas and big cities around the world in a vulnerable position—ultimately looking for an escape, looking for a SAFE-HAVEN.

The Real Estate Industry in the Turks and Caicos quickly recognized this need, which in-tern became a demand. We just as quickly adopted new, remote ways to reach those who were looking to find their safe-havens far removed from the stress of big city lifestyles. As such, and even during our islands own lock-down that included the closing of our borders and stay-at-home orders we were able to increase sales in the Villa and Single Family Home Market by almost 6% over the previous year. Which given the circumstances was a fantastic accomplishment, and further highlighted our islands desirable features.

The Turks and Caicos Islands are known for being a vacation home destination, be it our clients 2nd or 3rd property owned around the world. As such, our islands owner demographic is not as susceptible to swings in the market or financial issues related to events such as COVID. The point to my explaining this is that we do not, and have not become a major buyers market, in-fact with our real estate becoming more desirable due to the environment we offer. Therefore, in my opinion, we have maintained real estate prices.

Professionally, what have you learned in 2020 about yourself?

This is a question that I could spend a great deal of time on as it would not just reflect an answer related to the industry, but the importance of our islands to the world, and as a human being living in a very unusual time.

As it relates to the real estate industry, the famous quote by Franklin D Roosevelt become incredibly poignant and relevant to me. He said during the great depression that, "Real estate cannot be lost or stolen, nor can it be carried away. Purchased with common sense, paid for in full, and managed with reasonable care, it is about the safest investment in the world." It was as true then as it is today. Therefore the home is the cornerstone of wealth.

Within this quote, he was obviously talking about a safe investment in real estate as it was far more secure, true today, especially with the continued current volatility in the market. But more importantly, when one looks at the interpretation of 'wealth', one can see that in this period we are enduring with COVID, wealth is not necessarily the measure of a single material possession, but what it brings to you and your loved ones. In this case, to provide a safe-haven where you and those you love can quarantine in a healthy environment, both physically and mentally, is priceless, therefore offers more than wealth, but that of life and a piece of mind not found in most countries across the globe.

As a collective within our firm, we had to pivot very quickly to fully understand the message we wanted to share and how to communicate our message. It was a time to simply share ourselves, our time and our compassion with our clients, no more, no less. Given our largest demographic are all from locations that were suffering great hardships we wanted to connect on a personal level, ask how they were, how were their families and that we couldn't wait to see them again. And if necessary, how could we help. First and foremost our clients are our friends, so opening a dialogue in this way was very uplifting for them, especially when we video conferenced providing a view of our stunning turquoise waters as a backdrop. Since then, this has resulted in continued conversations that have translated into new sales. Not the intention of the initial outreach, but an organic result.

We learned that there's a definite paradigm shift that's arrived where one-on one-contact is all-important, but having the technology to share your properties through Matterport or Video, or live-streaming is critical.

Networking with our Christies affiliates from the region and our feeder markets has and continues to be of paramount importance.

Slow down; this is not going to be a typical year! A statement I made to myself early on in the year. Before you can manage others expectations, you first have to manage your own.

Think differently and be willing to try new approaches.

Understand that this to shall pass. Once you understand this fact, you can work from a balanced place and be far more effective.

Empathy and compassion must remain prevalent in your interactions with clients.

More so than ever, I learned that the Turks and Caicos Islands is an exceptional place that offers far more than just a vacation retreat.

Understand that this is no longer just about buying a piece of real estate on a Caribbean island; it's so much more.

The post A Beachfront Villa In Turks And Caicos Islands By Robert Greenwood appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

This exceptional one-of-a-kind private estate sits directly on a beautiful secluded, and serene cove layered with powder-soft white sand, calm turquoise waters and is protected by gorgeous a finger peninsula.

Villa Mani, designed in a classic Riviera style, is on the exclusive Royal Palm Island and was designed by award-winning international architect Ron Shaw and is represented by Regency - Christie's International Real Estate in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

Perched atop a 40-foot ridge Villa Mani has 9 bedrooms, 8.5 baths, a sleek kitchen and numerous indoor and outdoor bars, and the neighbor of the former estate owned by the iconic rock legend, Prince.

As one enters through the custom double entry doors, one is immediately struck by the gorgeous turquoise colors of the south shore that lay ahead. A "dancing dolphin" sculpture that graces this room and crafted by the Master of the Isle of Murano is the focal point that draws your gaze toward a three-level Infiniti edge pool.

This Great Room has soaring 40-foot ceilings, a library with room for 400 books, a separate media room sits to the east and a stylish bar and kitchen to the west.

As you move through this amazing space, you pass between two majestic columns and enter the formal dining room with an original frescoed ceiling mural that is unique to this property. Complimenting the great room is a full bedroom with ensuite bathroom.

Villa Mani, Provo's most prominent "pink house on the hill", has a master suite on the eastern side adorned with double chandeliers and 180 degrees of ocean views. This master suite features his and hers ensuite bathrooms, a two-story dressing room, outdoor shower, private deck, and a private walkway to the beach.

The westerly side of Villa Mani hosts the sunset wing which includes three bedrooms to include a full ocean-view suite with a red loft bunk room and a blue loft bunk room. A full kitchen, living room, and an expansive deck that can be for your sunrise yoga, exercise, relaxing and sunbathing.

The Tower Suite is a fantastic part of the Villa Mani experience and has a three-story winding staircase that leads you to a romantic second-floor bedroom and ensuite bathroom. As you climb the stairs to the third floor, you're greeted by an amazing observation deck with unobstructed 360-degree views of the island, and of course a rooftop bar for evening cocktails.

Villa Mani's three-level pool cascades down into a deeper pool with a shaded tiki-style swim-up bar, and in-water chaise lounges that provide an excellent spot for afternoon cocktails and entertaining. As one meanders down the landscaped pathway toward the calm turquoise waters, one comes to a second tiki hut directly on the beach and provides the hub of activity for all your water sports needs. Complete with paddleboards, kayaks, Hobie Cat catamarans Not to mentions a myriad of beach activities and loungers for pure relaxation.

Another very unique feature of Villa Mani is its private dock on Palm Island which is located directly in front of the villa, spanning some 300 feet, and can take a myriad of watercraft to include a private yacht or two.

Villa Mani is undoubtedly one of the Turks and Caicos Islands most unique properties and offers the best of luxury island living.

Highlight quotes:

Robert Greenwood: "In Turks and Caicos, we just had a look at the second quarter numbers and we've held well over the preceding couple of years. In some sectors, especially our villa sector, we actually increased sales last year, so I think that's a real indicator that people are looking for COVID safe haven properties throughout the entire region... We see the growth because people are looking for a safe haven. And if you're going to quarantine, you might just as well quarantine in paradise... [Buyers] feel comfortable because they know the Christie's brand, the trust and the integrity that comes with it, and they're happy to say, 'Okay, let's do the deal.'"

John Christie: "There are different kinds of buyers and visitors in the Bahamas. If you're someone from New York and you're used to action being around, Nassau is the place for you, with large hotels, casinos, nightclubs, and all the main luxury communities. With COVID, we have seen a spike in interest in private islands, because there's no better place to have than your own private island if you want to control your destiny and a place to lock down. That's been one of our strengths. If you're a beginner buyer or someone that has a couple of extra dollars, you can get lots as low as $20,000."

Justin White: "Antigua is a unique place. We have zero capital gains tax, zero inheritance tax, and zero income tax. That's the benefit there and itself. We have opportunities in almost every single angle, especially with regards to real estate... We have boutique hotels, luxury resorts, luxury villas, and tons of empty primetime land right on the ocean with a citizenship aspect, whereby you can gain citizenship to this country if you meet certain prerequisites... Being Antiguan isn't just for Antiguans. If you're willing to come here and adopt the culture and invest with us, we are happy to put our arm around your shoulder and say you're one of us."

Craig Ryan: "We have seen a big uptick in our luxury rental market. There's nothing easier than for your family to come down and get a five-bedroom villa on the beach, and you have your week to be by yourself... We opened up our borders June 1st, and from there, we've had full planes from America because there's a huge demand. People are ready to finally get out and enjoy life... If I have a client that doesn't find a product that works in Antigua, I'm calling up John and Robert. That's the level of family we have between the affiliates where it's not a cold introduction email. We have support between the islands and the Christie's network overall."
