Eminence On High... Captivates The Senses, Transends The Soul

Hidden high on a mountain side , tucked away in a lush peaceful setting is a magical St John villa.

With luxurious accommodations , tasteful graceful interiors and everything you are looking for in a retreat that will rejuvenate your soul.

Please visit our website for more information.

This picturesque villa is Eminence On High, an enchanting villa high atop St John's Bordeaux Mountain.

This extremely private, gated villa is comprised of a magnificent main house and closely adjoining carriage house, lovely and charming. Both enjoy sweeping captivating mountain top views across the Caribbean to the British Virgin Islands on the horizon.

Due to post-hurricane road conditions, use of a 4x4 vehicle is critical to navigating St. John.

Eminence On High has abundant comfortable, relaxing outdoor spaces from which to enjoy the breathtaking views and the constant cooling Caribbean breeze.

Inside the magnificent mason home is the exquisite stone Great Room with soaring ceilings adorned with beautiful arched windows and stunning mahogany french doors which open up to the wrap around covered veranda which extends the Great Rooms' living areas to a breezy tranquil porch.

Just opposite the main living space is one of two dining rooms with charming fire place. Nearby is the stunning gourmet kitchen with blue Viking range designed for serious cooking and entertaining in mind.

There are 3 private, beautifully decorated bedrooms within the main house and 3 baths ,one with a stone and tile open air shower.

The close by carriage house has 3 spacious bedrooms, both charming with lovely interiors and The 2 upper level bedrooms share a large bath with and very private, stone mason outdoor shower. The 6th bedroom is located on the ground level of the carriage house with full ensuite bathroom.

There is much more to this spectacular family sized compound with luxurious amenities. Including the central, stone and tiled courtyard with lush tropical plantings, in-ground pool and over sized spa.

The focal point of the space is the incredible, outdoor dining area with Weber grille and seating for up to 12 guests. The space also shares a cozy, comfortable seating area all framed with beautiful arch french doors which open to the pool and central courtyard.

The grandeur and magic of Eminence On High awaits you.

Utterly captivating and tranquil ambiance beyond compare!

Family Vacation
The pictures do not reflect how nice the property is in person! Every bedroom is nice and plenty of space to spread out. We had 11 adults and really enjoyed the outdoor area, pool and hot tub with excellent sound system! Propery manager, Eddie, very responsive with any problems or requests! We used Owen as a driver a lot and he also made excellent recommendation for boat rental! Use Local Time for best prices and fun captain!

Beautiful view. The house was very well equipped and comfortable for guests in the main house. The cottage with two bedrooms was not great. We made it work though. Only other complaint was the add on costs for the 4th and 5th bedrooms and hot tub.

Perfect for our family vacation
Our family of 12 stayed for an awesome week at Eminence on High in December. First, the location is amazing! On top of the Bordeaux mountain ridge at over 1,000 ft elevation, it was 8 degrees cooler than at sea level. The view to the north and east is incredible! The first few days we experienced what the locals call the “Christmas wind” and up there it was blowing hard. After that we had a nice constant breeze. The wind and cooler air would be even more appreciated in warmer months. Located in the middle of the island, it’s closer to some of the snorkeling spots we like and easy to get to anywhere on the island. The road up is good except for about the last 100 yards, so you do need a jeep. The villa itself is stunning. Everything was clean when we arrived. It has beautiful décor, nice furniture, comfortable beds and sheets, plenty of towels, a good washer/dryer, complete cooking supplies and lots of dishes in the main kitchen as well as the party room. There are two refrigerators, a wine cooler and an ice maker. Lots of beach towels and chairs. The heated pool and hot tub were much appreciated on the colder days. We loved the party room for our evening meals and hanging out; the stove in the party room wasn’t working but that was just a minor inconvenience. We look forward to having an opportunity to stay again at Eminence on High Villa.

Slice of Heaven
The house was beautiful. Pictures didn’t do it justice. Yes the drive up is very bumpy, but our Jeeps made it up with no issue. The views and pool were fabulous. Unfortunately the hottub was still out of commission and would have been nice at night as the pool is too cold. We would definitely stay there again. Plenty of room to spread out, kitchen and amenities are great. We did have a strong storm one day that brought water in from the ceiling and the windows in the main hallway. There also seems to be some water damage in the 1st floor bedroom closet. Only other issue were some mice that left their evidence in the mornings. I don’t consider this an issue because you are literally within nature in this home. We saw tons of frogs, birds, unique bugs including a few tarantulas living inside the bromeliads outside. Enjoyed falling asleep to the sound of frogs and wind through the palms every night. The kitchen A/C was a MUST and I’m so happy we purchased it extra. It works VERY well. The solid wood windows and furnishings are astonishing. Overall just really really missing our time spent here and hope to visit again soon! We got ready for our wedding here that occurred on Peace Hill and I’m so happy we chose this home.

A perfect week in paradise
We had a wonderful time at this villa. The views were breathtaking! Highlights include sunrises from the master bedroom wraparound balcony, family dinners in the indoor/outdoor second kitchen at the massive table, and cooling off in the pool. As for communication, the property manager and owner were both extremely responsive and helpful. We loved that there were plenty of beach towels and beach chairs, which we took with us daily. Only callouts were that the hot tub, 2nd kitchen stove/grill top, and 2nd kitchen garbage disposal didn't work unfortunately, but we made due with the outdoor grill! Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Gorgeous home with incredibly views. Hot tub is not functioning and if it were there is an extra charge to use the hot tub and to have the pool heated to a point that you would want to swim in it so make sure you're aware of the extra fees and order before you arrive. Other than that the place is amazing.

We stayed for a week. The home was perfect for six couples. Do you have to heat the pool their ice cold otherwise. It looks like it’s the highest spot in St. John so we had a lot of wind up there but the view is simply stunning and the property is absolutely wonderful.

A very nice home with gorgeous views. Has everything one would need. Great seclusion, but with that comes a little more distance to stores and restaurants. Very happy with our stay and would absolutely stay again.
