Fustic Estate ST. LUCY, BARBADOS
Nestled on 11 acres overlooking the shimmering Caribbean Sea, Fustic Estate stands as one of Barbados’ most iconic private estates. Originally built in 1712 and masterfully reimagined in the 1970s by legendary designer Oliver Messel, this rare architectural treasure marries historic plantation heritage with the drama and romance of the theatre. Messel’s signature style remains evident throughout the property, from the soft green accents and arched openings to the classic shutters and the seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living.

ESTATE GROUNDS Fustic Estate is set within expansive, meticulously maintained lush grounds. The stunning lagoon pool, carved directly into a coral ravine, blends seamlessly with the surrounding tropical landscape and is said to be Messel’s defining feature of the property. Recently re-engineered, the pool features new decking and a dramatic waterfall, bolstering an already striking centerpiece. Complementing the pool is a reflective pond inspired by Dartmouth gardens. Featuring floating stones and oak benches, the pond enhances the estate’s natural charm and highlights the beauty of its mature landscaping.
