Enjoy in total luxury and ultimate privacy, the lifestyle of the Plantocracy in this seven bedroom, seven bathroom mansion.

High Hope Estate is a 15th Century Venetian-style villa set on 40 acres of land overlooking twenty miles of Caribbean coastline. This one-of-a-kind vacation home with your own private gazebo is furnished in lavish old English tradition.
Marble floors and centuries-old antiques grace the halls and bedrooms, and your personal butler waits to serve your every need.

Guests may bask in the luxury of this exquisite villa where beautiful arches, cool verandahs and 12,000 square feet of elegant living space greet them on arrival. The carefully trained staff of eight including a governess for those traveling with families, spare nothing to ensure the best Jamaican hospitality and service.

Each room with its own private bath, reflects classic, individual design. Four have spectacular ocean views and verandahs while two face the mountains. Turndown service and nightly gifts are those little extras offered to guests.

Visitors also have the pleasure of indulging in exceptional cuisine; freshly baked breads, soups, fruit and salads are served each day, many dishes having ingredients hand-picked from the property's fruit trees and vegetable garden.

Guests have the choice of browsing through the villa's well-stocked library, lounging by the pool or in one of the hammocks. They may also choose to spend a day at the beach, just ten minutes away, or venture into Ocho Rios for shopping and a climb up Dunn's River Falls.

This historic villa accommodates up to twelve people on an all-inclusive basis - or for bed and breakfast - and offers a venue for corporate retreats and special events.

The design and interiors of High Hope Estate reflect the personalities and taste of the villa's previous owners. The villa is furnished with priceless antiques accumulated by Kitty and Derrick Spence since they had the house built in 1961 at a cost of $2 million. 18th Century Moroccan harem screens, 19th Century Korean silk screens, a Steinway baby grand piano and other classic pieces adorn the entire house. The living, dining area and two master suites are floored with buttermilk and verdi marble from Carrara, Italy. None of the amenities for gracious living were overlooked by the Spences.
