On three acres of land with a commanding view of the Caribbean Sea, lush green mountains and golf course, Bumper's Nest was designed by distinguished architect Kasimir Korybut. Completed in 1995, it is still one of the most glamorous homes at the Tryall Club. Here is an extraordinary private home with simply the best of everything.

The central atrium is like a park in Provence ... a fanciful fountain and water garden framed by pink bougainvillea and coffee roses. Interiors are enriched by fine art, Italian tiles, decorative verdigris, hand-painted stone walls and natural cut stone floors.

From the Great Room, 18 French doors open to 1,400 square feet of furnished verandahs. Deep, comfortable cushions cover sofas, chairs, chaises and a wonderful cedar swing. The view is spectacular day and night. Just beyond the verandah, the private pool spans the front of the house. Adjacent to the pool are the outdoor wet bar and shower and powder room.

The handsome Family Room opens on two sides to the atrium and garden. A 27' television on Direct TV system provides 950 channels (movies, HBO, free Pay Per View, sports, etc.), VCR, sound system, and library of books and movies invite days and evenings of entertainment. A few steps away are the powder room and indoor wet bar and fridge stocked with soft drinks and juices. Child-friendly, Bumper's Nest provides children's videos, crib and high chair.

An extensive Bose speaker system creates surround-sound inside and out. Recessed speakers in each bedroom have individual volume controls. The system can operate throughout the villa and pool area ... or be limited to specific areas.

The Tryall Club

A significant amenity for guests in this villa is membership at the excellent Tryall Club.  On 2,200 acres, Tryall’s golf course is among the most beautiful in the world.  Its 18 hillside and seaside fairways have been home to the Johnnie Walker, Mazda and other PGA championship events.  The resident pro offers workshops and private lessons.   The Tryall tennis club features nine Nova Cushion courts, some lit for night play, with world-class pro’s on call.  All whites required. 

The beach is well planned for parents and children. Have lunch at the beach bar.  Work out in the well-equipped gym.  Jog the marked trails. Snorkeling, kayaking, hobie cat and sunfish are complimentary.  Glass bottom boats, charter fishing, a boat to the reef and any captained craft attract various fees.  Enjoy the week’s events, including the Monday Night Manager’s Cocktail Party and the Wednesday and Friday night beach parties (Friday Seafood Night on the Beach Buffet is excellent).

On the hill, enjoy the historic Great House for afternoon tea and a magnificent view from the terrace.  Shop at the commissary and boutique, meet for happy hour at the bar, and browse a wealth of Jamaican, Haitian and Cuban works and souvenirs in the Gallery of West Indian Art.  And don’t miss the massive Tryall pool!
