The Property
Situated on close to 1.5 acres of lush tropical vegetation, Leamington Caves is an exceptional destination, offering tranquility and adventure, private quiet spaces and expansive views of Bermuda.
The main house is nestled into a steep hillside with tropical flowers, trees and shrubs, complemented by several porches, patios and courtyards. There is a sizeable lawn in the front of the house, and a private gated driveway.
The property is owned by a renowned Bermudian/American architectural designer who has artfully blended contemporary details and amenities with the home's historic charm.
A compact, pristine horizon-edge pool and pool deck are perched above the house, with stunning views of Harrington Sound. A few more steps above the pool is the upper deck, featuring a fire pit surrounded Adirondack chairs, an entertaining/yoga deck, a ModPod (air-conditioned shed with a mini fridge), and breathtaking panoramic views of the island. All of this is enveloped on every side by lush jungle vegetation--a rare oasis only shared by colorful songbirds.
Main House
(Note: Guest House may be rented separately, or together with Main House. See separate listings on VRBO)

The Caves
Leamington Caves are a national treasure and Bermuda’s largest privately owned natural caves. Dating back millennia but discovered over a century ago, the caves feature dramatic stalagmites and stalagtites and a deep pool of turquoise water. Formerly a tourist attraction, the Caves are fully lit and very safely accessed by concrete staircases and railings, and a recently built wooden platform and dock.
Guests staying at Leamington Caves have exclusive access to explore and swim in this extraordinary natural wonder. (For liability purposes, guests must schedule visit with and be accompanied by property manager. Cave waivers must be signed and no outside guests are permitted for safety reasons. First visit, up to two hours, included. Subsequent visits can be arranged at manager's hourly rate).
