Nestled into the wooded hillside of this ¾ acre home site is this stunning and spacious 11,000 square foot island residence known as Villa Nirvana. The residence was designed and built with the utmost care taken with every detail to create an island oasis and it's apparent. Rare elements such as the beautiful garden with fish pond and the sparkling negative-edge, glass tiled swimming pool with views out to the gorgeous blue Caribbean Sea have been interspersed within the sturdy concrete construction. The main house has a master bedroom suite, three additional guest bedroom suites and 4.5 baths all with imported plumbing fixtures, vanities and light fixtures. The great room is home to the kitchen, pantry, bar, living room and media center which all have panoramic sea views.

The vaulted ceilings throughout are attractive knot-free Cypress wood. All counter tops are imported African Blue Eye granite.

For overflow guests there is a one bedroom, one bath guest house, of equal quality to the main house. It comes complete with a fully-equipped kitchen, eat-in breakfast bar, large closets, storage areas and its own laundry room.

Combined the main house and the guest house have 5,000 square feet under roof and 6,000 square feet of outdoor space.

Other notable features of the property include a sauna, underground wine cellar, gated entry, covered parking for six vehicles, lush and colorful professional landscaping, security system, wired Bose speaker system, 60,000 gallon cistern capacity spread over 3 cisterns, water filtration system, Miami-Dade hurricane rated exterior doors and windows, 60-kilowatt diesel generator with two auto-transfer switches (ATS) and 7.5 kilowatt PV solar system with net metering and remote monitoring.

And where better to build such an upscale villa than within one of St. Croix's finest residential communities, known to most as Shoys/Anna's Hope. Visitors and owners are greeted by the smiling guard at the entry gate which is manned 24/7. The access roads are smooth and paved. The neighborhood is characterized by million-dollar-plus homes and has a lovely Caribbean Sea exposure complete with a sandy community beach just a short walk away. Shoys Beach is in a protected cove which often results in gentle waves.

Amy Land-de Wilde was hosted by Haute Media Group Cofounder Seth Semilof. Watch their conversation below.

The topics included Land-de Wilde’s illustrious career from moving to the Caribbean after a year abroad, strides towards opening then selling her own successful brokerage, and her eventual ascendancy as a leading specialist in luxury real estate.

In 1986, Amy Land-de Wilde became a licensed broker on St. Croix after a year abroad falling in love with colorful Caribbean diving, beautiful topography, the welcoming people, and the island lifestyle. She opened her own brokerage in 2001, which she sold to the Schmidt Family of Companies, Coldwell Banker’s largest affiliate operation, and happily remains a broker there leading the top-producing team. Land-de Wilde has received Coldwell Banker’s top production awards annually since joining forces decades ago. With a track record of representing the most significant properties on St. Croix, she keeps current with industry innovations, marketing trends, and all facets of real estate. Her clients benefit from her excellent negotiating skills, knowledge, and deep connections to the resources that benefit new and experienced Islanders alike.

Here are some of the questions and answers from the exclusive interview with Land-de Wilde.

Seth Semilof: You moved to the island. You were at the radio station for about five years and then you said, “I either want to come into the financial industry or the real estate industry.” Tell us about that.

Amy Land-de Wilde: I had a lot of good experience managing a radio station and starting in radio sales. If practice for any kind of sales job, you are dealing with an evaporating commodity. You have to have excellent not only people skills, but you have to be organized and follow up to develop good work habits. I really do credit that beginning as one of the reasons I started in 1986.

SS: When you started, things were hot. How long were they hot for? How long did it take you to get your first deal?

ALW: My story is unusual in a way because of what was happening in our market at the time. I had my first deal within a month and my first year was good. People always tell you and it is true that you have to be able to have the cash to support yourself for that period of time. I started doing a newsletter in 1986, which I still do today, so that consistency did not take that long.

SS: You built an amazing company and worked very hard to open it in 2001. Tell us a little about the reasoning behind selling it and when you made that sale.

ALW: I started the company in 2001 and at the time, it was just Land-de Wilde realty. Although Coldwell Banker had been talking to our company, which I finally did go to that larger company in another couple of years, I stayed at that company until she closed it. That is what started my company. Coldwell Banker continued, I continued, and that was the best decision ever, so I am very happy about that. When I sold in 2018, there were about 35 people, which is not huge for a company in the States, but I was eager to do that.

SS: How is St. Croix right now with the real estate market?

ALW: Real estate, strangely, was one of the businesses allowed to open since we managed other people's properties here from afar. It was very strict, but people were allowed to come see us to our island. People wanted to get out of their home, so we really benefited from a lot of people who came to visit and loved it who would never have.

SS: What advice would you give to somebody watching us, even a person that is in the business for six years and not as successful or someone having some success but not at that level? 

ALW: I would try to get brutal honesty from people they respect around them if they are not having the success that they feel they should be having. I would first definitely look within and say, “Am I doing my best? Am I spending the hours?” The flexibility does offer us benefits, but it is not 40 hours a week. Work-life balance is something that you need to create if you want to be successful in the confines of giving your all to your business.
