Description of House and Location
The Pink Plantation House is a unique and much sought after property located on the majestic Morne Fortune, towering above the bustling City of Castries.
Affectionately called “The Morne”, this location provides arguably one of the best vantage points on the entire island. The views from the Morne are so extraordinary, that they stretch over lush and vibrant country side. Deep calm Caribbean seas, stretching past a bird’s eye view of the harbor, the City of Castries and even as far as Pigeon Point, the northern most peak of St. Lucia. |
These spectacular views are only secondary to Morne Fortune’s rich historical value, architecture; hundreds of years old still remain intact, frozen in time.
Due to its excellent vantage point, the Morne was one of the principle battle grounds between the French and British who wrestled in a tug of war to gain the “Helen of the West” over two hundred years ago. Remnants of that era still remain; subtle reminders of a time long ago.
Erect cannons, military barracks and strong hold head quarters continue to stand the test of time, aging beautifully but never fading out of memory. Among all of the treasures the Morne has to offer, there is a gem that stands out radiantly. |

The Pink Plantation House steps right out of the 17th century; holding onto a rustic feeling which is genuine, rare and cannot be duplicated. This one of a kind plantation house sits on almost 2 acres of rich and beautiful land.
The grounds are well kept and appear vibrant, breathing new life into this mature, historically valuable land. The Pink Plantation house has weathered excellently over its lifetime, and has been restored such that most details of its architectural history are kept true to detail.
Walking through the gravel courtyard, one notices how alive and large the property is. On the Morne, the air is crisper and the array of vegetation and flowers makes the air fresher. Ferns, Ground Orchids, Anthurium Lilies and Royal Palms are only a few characters among multitudes in the play of paradise titled “Pink Plantation”.
The perimeter of the main house is surrounded by a beautiful terrace and balcony. |

On the compound there are two other structures which can be utilized as a pantry, kitchen, catering room or even a studio apartment or wind cellar. There is an outhouse nearby, which may be used for storage as well. Tying these buildings together, is a stone patterned mini-court yard and in the middle, a strong old mango tree stands tall and wise like an Oak.
The old fashion, contemporary feel is unmistakable, yet very enriching. Stepping inside the main house, the details of the architecture takes you back. This is a treat for people who appreciate history and live for this type of old world nostalgia.
Each room blends into the other and prides itself on open space environment.
The rooms are not bluntly separated per se, but flow into each other like surreal portals. The house itself is amazingly and fully customizable. You have the liberty to modify the interior as you see fit. |

Pink Plantation is famous for housing very important government officials and hosting remarkable cocktail parties and other festivities. The grandeur of this property is beyond words and the possibilities for carrying on this classical and esteemed practice is very feasible. The property comprises of one main room, a den-like area, a corridor leading to a stair case and incredible balcony area. The ceilings wonderfully tall, adding to the fantastical feeling of stepping into a museum or alternate time line.
The balcony facing the city and sea is awe-aspiring. The balcony is so large it can seat easily fifty persons at a social or dinner function. But even as a group, a couple or an individual, anyone who stares out from this balcony can profess that it is an experience to have. All of Pink Plantations wires are run intentionally, so that nothing can obstruct the exceptional and unparalleled views.
These views include the previously mentioned Castries harbor, the old and gorgeous government buildings; beautiful Vigie’s stretching horizons and rolling seas. |

As a special treat, the vague misty island mass of Martinique can be seen from the balcony, even clearer on a bright cloudless day. Martinique is also a sight to see at night as only Pink Plantation can bring you.
Walking up the stair case will lead you to the second floor which offers you equal, if not more of an experience when looking at an elevated view. On this floor you can find two large conjoining rooms, which can be easily turned into master bedroom quarters. A corridor takes you to two more slightly smaller guest rooms, each benefiting from their own unique piece of the classical era. A wonderful feature of this house is that there are open room environments and many windows placed around to enjoy the off course spectacular views, but to allow excellent ventilation into the house as well.
The Pink Plantation House sits on land that is unlike others found in St. Lucia. It is an entity which has preserved its roots down to the very core. Even the people, who live on the Morne, come from very established, old West Indian families which go back many, many years. |
