Your development team

The Gardens is being developed by Elmsbridge, a specialist developer of destination communities with decades of international experience – specifically in the West Indies and Antigua.

The Gardens project design has been led by Mitch Stuart, Antiguan director at OBMI (the West Indies’ leading full-service design firm), and an experienced architect who has been involved in the design of five different projects with Elmsbridge.

With Mitch and the Elmsbridge design team in place, every villa design can also be customized for the buyer if desired with little additional cost.

She understands intimately the appeal of having a home and foothold in the Caribbean and we love her passion for writing, photography and all creative endeavours. She is a key part of the marketing and content team for Elmsbridge you may spot her going about capturing the beauty of life in Antigua.

Over 25 years construction experience

The villa construction at the Gardens community will be overseen by Elmsbridge through a special purpose company ‘Gardens Construction Limited’.

Elmsbridge has three pre-qualified home builders and will look to achieve the most competitive pricing possible through a tender process for each villa build.

By acting as the overall contractor for the project, Gardens Construction Limited will offer a warranty to each owner to fix any deficiency in the first year of ownership. Additional warranties on specific systems such as roofing or air conditioning, range from 5 to 20 years. Upon the turnover of the property, each owner shall receive a villa book that includes all drawings and equipment information along with the specific additional warranties.

Property Management taken care of

Each Gardens villa owner will have the option of villa management and rental provided by a project-specific management company ‘Gardens Villa Management Limited’.

With the company management having decades of property experience in Antigua, the hassle of owning an overseas property will be removed for each owner that chooses this option.

If you’re keen to own a home and spend time in Antigua but would like to reduce the cost, you should look into our fractional ownership. This ‘smart-sharing’ ownership means you can own a quarter share of a villa, enjoy quarter of the time each year if desired and a quarter of net rental income and resale in dur course. This is also ideal for groups of friends or families who’d like to buy a home together.

Lovely shot of Harbour Island from the golf course. The island sits at the centre of Jolly Harbour, which is the largest resort community in Antigua with an 18-hole golf course, commercial centre, marina, and restaurants. 

Developed in the 1990s, the resort has recently been purchased by a group of international investors. There are plans in the pipeline to redevelop the marina, commercial centre and golf course and many more exciting things we will share with you as they are announced over the coming year.

We are so excited to have 36 villas at The Gardens to offer vacation home buyers, as many lovely new things are heading this way and the west coast of Antigua has so much to offer, not least amazing sunsets!
