Villa Jasper – Iconic Architectural Retreat in Terres Basses, St. Martin

Description

3 Bedrooms | Architectural Masterpiece | Lagoon Views | Private Garden Pool | Iconic Design | A/C | Terres Basses Villa Jasper – Iconic Architectural Retreat in Terres Basses, St. Martin Villa Jasper is a rare architectural gem with a remarkable history. Originally owned by renowned artist Jasper Johns and designed in the mid-1970s by legendary post-modern architect Philip Johnson, this extraordinary island home stands as a testament to minimalist design, purity of line, and the emotional power of space. Recently and meticulously renovated, Villa Jasper has been upgraded for modern comfort while faithfully preserving the original Johnson ethos. The soul of the house remains intact — calm, contemplative, and deeply connected to its natural surroundings. “All architecture is shelter; all great architecture is the design of space that contains, cuddles, exalts, or stimulates the persons in that space.” — Philip Johnson Setting & Atmosphere Created as an artist’s island retreat meant to inspire and uplift, the location of Villa Jasper is nothing short of exceptional. Perched high in Terres Basses, on the border between French and Dutch St. Martin, the villa enjoys sweeping panoramic views across the Simpson Bay Lagoon. Surrounded by lush tropical vegetation, the home blends effortlessly into the landscape. Crisp white walls serve as a canvas for the silhouettes of trees and foliage, while warm terracotta tones contrast beautifully with the blue sky and shimmering water. Stone walls, tree-lined pathways, and simple architectural lines guide the eye toward ever-changing vistas, creating a quiet rhythm throughout the property. Outdoor Living Villa Jasper offers two distinct outdoor experiences: Front Veranda • Wide veranda framing uninterrupted lagoon views • Ideal for morning coffee, sunset moments, and moonlit evenings • Elevated position maximizes cooling trade winds Private Walled Garden • Sheltered, monastic-like sanctuary enclosed by natural stone walls • Large, deep swimming pool with sun terrace • Tall gum trees provide shade and dappled light • Teak daybeds and shaded poolside lounge • Ornamental reflecting pool enhancing the zen-like ambiance Natural ventilation is expertly managed through elevation and an intelligent louver system, keeping the villa cool year-round.
