A breathtaking Caribbean estate that encompasses six homes has finally hit the market after over a decade of construction.
Nestled in the beautiful British Virgin Islands, the seven-bedroom, 7.5 bathroom estate, dubbed Wings, is now up for sale for a whopping $32.5million – earning its title as the most expensive home listing on the island of Virgin Gorda.
From its elevated hilltop position, tucked in the opulent Estate Neighborhood of the island’s resort community, the 11-acre property boasts unique panoramic 180-degree ocean views.

Inspired by birds, all of Wings’ pods were cleverly named, Blue Heron, Kingfisher, Mourning Dove, Osprey, Pelican, and Sandpiper, make up six of the properties seven suites.
Inside, each pod is decorated with a clean and contemporary aesthetic, constructed with travertine and limestone, white walls, a neutral color palette, and feathery curtains.
Outfitted with state-of-the-art appliances and technology, each home is primed for modern living but still exudes a sense of place, which during the day, is filled with intense Caribbean sun.
The seventh pod, dubbed The Nest, serves as the heart of the estate with floor-to-ceiling windows and doors surrounding a spacious great room, dining room, gourmet kitchen and office.
Set with vaulted, wood-beamed ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and doors that open to a jaw-dropping outdoor area, the Nest also houses a separate chef’s kitchen and ‘flex’ space equipped with a convenient Murphy bed.
The spacious outdoor area, called ‘The Bird Bath’, features an outdoor dining area, luxurious infinity pool and lounge areas.
The estate further extends to an additional lower patio, named ‘The Perch,’ which includes a fire pit and seating area.
Each structure’s exterior was crafted from large stones and boulders, allowing each pod to give off a more ‘organic feel’.
Some pods even feature living green roofs that when seen from above appear to blend into the Caribbean hillside.
William and Marilyn Crawford, are the magnificent estate’s sellers. The Crawford’s are third-generation owners of an international furniture manufacturing company, Steelcase.
The family spent 11 years completing the impressive Caribbean accommodation.
The decade-long project was designed by Miami-based architect Doug Kulig of OMBI. Kulig is best known for some of his other impressive projects like the luxury, highly sought-after hotel, Le Royal Mansour, in Morocco.
The project’s landscaping was also uniquely designed by an outstanding professional, Raymond Jungles, a renowned landscape architect.
Known for his ‘one-of-a-kind designs’ that typically feature an untamed, naturalistic aesthetic, Jungles aimed to use the spectacular landscape to pay homage to the local environment.
Each individual villa is surrounded by lush and blooming florals, swaying palms and native leafy plants, courtesy of Jungles privacy-oriented design.
