Hidden within nearly five acres of tropical gardens on the pristine shores of Jumby Bay Island off the island of Antigua, this residence known as White Cove stands as an extraordinary legacy estate. Represented by Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Palazzo Estate, this secluded paradise offers an exclusive lifestyle that few in the world will ever have the privilege of experiencing.

“Our absolute favorite feature of the home is the private beach and the whole beachfront setting,” said Marina Rizzotto, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Palazzo Estate. “The white sand, turquoise water, and surrounding nature create an incredible sense of peace and privacy. We also love the terraces overlooking the sea and the way the house opens onto the Caribbean." 

White Cove is the private Caribbean retreat of one of the world’s most celebrated fashion designers—an internationally renowned creative icon who has influenced global style for decades. Brought to life by acclaimed architect Andrew Goodenough, the 15,799-square-foot residence was conceived as a series of connected living spaces rather than a single imposing structure. "We love how the palms, tropical gardens, and pavilion-style roofs fit naturally into the Caribbean landscape," Rizzotto noted. "Another great feature is the collection of private pavilions, which give family members and friends their own space."

At the heart of the estate lies the grand great room, where expansive living and dining areas flow onto large sea-facing terraces. Designed for grand-scale entertaining or quiet family relaxation, the main living space is complemented by a beautifully appointed kitchen area. Beyond the interior spaces, a freshwater lagoon-style swimming pool serves as a central oasis, anchored by the idyllic lagoon pool dining pavilion and framed by royal palms. 

The estate features seven bedroom suites and seven bathrooms designed to capture natural light, ocean breezes, and panoramic views. The owner’s beachfront primary suite occupies an unrivaled position just steps from the quiet shore, while the many guest suites ensure equal comfort for family and visitors alike. For those who embrace an active lifestyle, White Cove is equipped with a private fitness room and golf-cart garages expertly integrated into the natural grounds. 

Life on the island moves at a uniquely peaceful rhythm. “Jumby Bay Island is a private island known for its privacy and relaxed atmosphere,” Rizzotto shared. “Everything moves at a much slower pace.” With no cars permitted on the island, every journey is made by golf cart or bicycle beneath towering palm canopies. 

In addition to its unmatched setting, ownership grants access to the world-class lifestyle afforded by Jumby Bay Island, one of the globe's most exclusive private island communities. “You have restaurants, tennis courts, a fitness center, a spa, a marina, concierge services, and five-star hospitality,” Rizzotto noted. Although the island feels wonderfully secluded, it’s all situated just minutes by private boat from Antigua’s international airport.
