A Pool and a View on the Coast of St. Barts$3.2 MILLION (2.8 MILLION EUROS)This contemporary, three-bedroom villa sits on a verdant hillside above Flamand Beach, near the northwestern tip of the French territory of St. Barts, in the Caribbean Sea. The 1,722-square-foot house, accented with Caribbean details including a white wood balcony, fretwork and a vaulted, whitewashed ceiling, was built in 1989 and partially renovated in 2018, after Hurricane Irma damaged St. Barts the previous fall. The quarter-acre property includes a wooden deck with a swimming pool and Jacuzzi, a gym housed in a separate bungalow, a garage and two parking spots. “The property has a refreshing newness about it,” said Tom Smyth, an owner of St. Barth Properties Sotheby’s International Realty, an agency listing the property. “It’s a renovated property in a sweet spot in the pricing right now, where somebody can get in below 3 million” — in euros — “and have a turnkey home with access to one of the best beaches of St. Barts.”The two-story home, which is being sold furnished, has been offered as a vacation rental with weekly rates ranging from about $4,300 for two bedrooms in April to $12,100 for all three bedrooms at Christmas and New Year’s, Mr. Smyth said.
