The Mill Estate, SpringFeatures and description
Overview of The Mill Estate, Spring
The Mill is one of the most significant heritage properties in Bequia. Dating back to the late seventeenth century, it has been lovingly restored and reimagined over the past four years and now stands as an exquisite luxury residence and a rare example of adaptive reuse architecture in the Caribbean.
Its historic fabric, continuity of use, and setting create an authenticity that cannot be newly built, replicated, or relocated. At its core, The Mill is a private residence designed for everyday living, entertaining, and retreat.
While the property currently houses Grenadine Wild Sea Salt and Salt Café and Bar, both ventures have cultivated a premium following and international recognition. Grenadine Wild Sea Salt has been featured by Martha Stewart Living and praised by Chef Andrew Zimmern as among the finest finishing salts he has encountered. These enterprises may be continued or transitioned at the discretion of a future owner, with any acquisition of the business interests to be handled separately by agreement.
The asking price reflects the real property and improvements only.
Anchored
by an elegant three bedroom residence, the estate offers both the
serenity of a private island home and the flexibility for a future owner
to shape its next chapter.
Historic Sugar Mill Residence
Originally
part of Spring Plantation, where sugar, indigo, arrowroot, cassava and
copra were produced, The Old Sugar Mill is believed to be the oldest
surviving structure on Bequia. Today, its hand-hewn stone walls form the
foundation of a refined contemporary residence that celebrates its
historic soul.
Three bedroom villa with soaring eighteen foot ceilings
Polished concrete floors and hardwood millwork
Loft with hardwood-floors and half bath, ideal for yoga, reading or guest use
Master suite opening to a private stone infinity plunge pool
Secluded double rain shower courtyard surrounded by tropical gardens
Screened veranda for dining or entertaining up to thirty guests

private entrance and secluded courtyard. Original stonework continues
through this space, creating a living experience both grounded in
history and refreshingly modern.

the mill: A Rare Example of Adaptive Reuse
The
Mill is an extraordinary architectural achievement. Original stone
walls, more than three centuries old, are fully integrated into the
residence, infusing every room with a sense of continuity and historic
depth.
The
upper level features dramatic volumes, polished concrete floors and a
chef-grade kitchen with premium appliances. A spacious open-plan living
and dining area flows naturally into the screened veranda, creating
spaces that breathe with island light and air.
The
handcrafted loft, with its own half bath, provides a quiet elevated
retreat, while the master suite opens onto a stone plunge pool bordered
by ancient limestone. Every detail has been considered, creating a home
that feels at once timeless and thoughtfully modern.
A Truly Singular Opportunity
The Mill is more than a property. It is a living piece of Bequia’s history, restored with remarkable care and vision.
Buyers may explore
acquiring the estate with or without the established business elements, depending on their interest. Preference will be given to those who
appreciate the long-term potential of this exceptional property and who
are committed to honoring its unique character.
This is a legacy
investment: A rare chance to steward an estate with deep roots, architectural presence and limitless potential. Now flourishing in its
current form, The Mill awaits the next custodian to guide it into its
next beautiful chapter.
Location: Spring Estate
Spring is one of
Bequia’s most peaceful and desirable residential areas, known for its
natural beauty, gentle breezes and sense of privacy. The valley is home
to a small collection of independent villas set among lush hillsides, offering tranquility while remaining only a short drive from the shops, restaurants and harbor life of Port Elizabeth. Coconut palms, walking
paths and sweeping views of the Atlantic give Spring a quiet, timeless
character that appeals to those seeking a more refined and secluded
setting.
