Caribbean Estate on Mustique Lists for $200M

In December, Zillow posted a mock listing for the $450 million “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” Greek isle commune as an ad promoting the film.

The Caribbean estate on the private island of Mustique listed last week for $200 million is real, CNBC reported.

The 17-acre Terraces estate, which is on the private island of Mustique in the Caribbean, is one of the most expensive homes in the world, with a 16,000-square-foot, nine-bedroom main residence and an 80-foot swimming pool.

Edward de Mallet Morgan of Knight Frank has the listing.

The main residence has a tunnel that connects to a second, 12,000-square-foot structure called The Annex, which is for entertainment and includes an event hall and a game room for chess and ping pong, among other things, according to the outlet.

There are also several guest cottages, a chapel, laundry facilities, a tennis court and two more swimming pools, CNBC said. The estate is currently being run by 18 staff members — a property manager, two butlers, three chefs, six housekeepers and six gardeners — who are housed in two separate buildings.

The island on which the estate sits was purchased by Colin Tennant for £45,000 in 1958, CNBC said. Tennant gave the island to Princess Margaret, who built a luxe residence there, starting a rush of others to do the same.

Since then, the island has served as a getaway for celebrities and business people such as Tommy Hilfiger and Mick Jagger, among others, CNBC said.

“Paparazzi are banned on Mustique, and the easy, relaxed interaction of royal families, rock stars, celebrities, business moguls and entrepreneurs is really unique to Mustique,” de Mallet Morgan told CNBC. “It is a place where doors are not locked and no one bats an eye when you arrive at dinner barefoot.”

If the Caribbean is too far away, there’s always Copper Beech Farm in Greenwich, which has been listed for $150 million, the Wall Street Journal reported. The seller —a limited liability company tied to hedge fund billionaire Ray Dialo — paid $120 million to buy the waterfront estate in 2014.
