Bordering the entire pristine white sandy beach, Valley Trunk is one of the largest and most beautiful properties in the British Virgin Islands. The property is set on a gentle hill and stretches over 18 acres of beautifully manicured gardens where granite rock formations dot the estate throughout; it is one of the rare places on earth where such beauty can be found, reminiscent of the spectacular white sands and rock formations in the Seychelles. An esteemed family residence for more than 40 years, the estate truly stands out as an oasis while located on one of the most exclusive beaches in the British Virgin Islands and encompassing 10 suites across five standalone villas.
Valley Trunk Estate offers extraordinary world-class accommodation. All suites and villas have been carefully located to ensure the utmost privacy, to exploit the panoramic vistas, and to blend harmoniously with the natural surroundings. After an extensive interior redesign, the entire residence was updated to a clean coastal aesthetic with light and airy interiors crafted from natural materials, all accented with organic textiles and treasures from Italy and Africa. Each spacious bedroom features a generous and luxurious en-suite bathroom, with travertine floors and unique glass tiles, as well as new fixtures and bespoke vanities. New windows and folding French doors were selected for smoother indoor-outdoor living to complement the airy, fresh and natural design, while raised ceilings and ceiling fans encourage a blend of seamless outdoor living.
The estate’s signature green roof tiles, sourced from Japan, blend in seamlessly with the surrounding nature, while all doors and woodwork handcrafted in Kenya complement a natural and organic feel throughout. Interior furnishings were handpicked from all over the world, while vanities, cupboards and closets were custom made in Italy by a small family-run business prized for its craftsmanship. Windows and glass doors were sourced in Germany for top quality and weather resistance.
At the center of the estate lies the Main House overlooking spectacular views of the historic Sir Francis Drake Channel. The estate offers open living spaces complete with a bespoke lounge, a fully equipped bar area, pool table and home cinema. The doors open onto the terrace and the property’s focal infinity pool. The pool completely renovated and serenely designed with new lighting, tiles, pumps, a new filtration system as well as a seating area at its infinity edge for sunset views. The estate also boasts dedicated indoor and outdoor dining areas, complete with a professional-grade kitchen and service area. There is integrated air conditioning as well as high-speed fiber internet access throughout.
The grounds at Valley Trunk truly stand out in the area. The property’s gardens were carefully manicured and tended to over the years and feature incredible diversity which are now lusher than ever. Nature walks in the garden pathways lead throughout the property and open up to dramatic boulders and beautiful foliage. There are several different garden paths where one can enjoy the property’s hidden secrets and discover the exotic flora and fauna that lead down to the pristine beach. Many interior areas feature dedicated planters that are regularly filled with greenery and plants which were grown on property from seedlings and add to an organic and natural indoor-outdoor style of life.
Possibly the most impressive aspect of the property is the complete privacy, safety and secluded location, featuring more than 1,000 feet of unique white sandy beachfront, while still maintaining ease of access to the local harbour, restaurants, amenities as well as the beautiful natural reserves of Virgin Gorda.
Originally acquired as a vacant plot of land, the estate was thoughtfully developed from the ground up for use as a private luxury family holiday home. Valley Trunk Estate was an esteemed family residence for decades before opening its doors to high-end tourism and exclusive rentals in 2012. Following several years as a luxury retreat, the property recently underwent a complete renovation in 2024 and is fully equipped to operate whichever way new ownership will be inclined to.

“We are delighted to be presenting Valley Trunk Estate to the market; an opportunity for a discerning investor to acquire one of the best private estates in the region.

Stepping away from the villa, the mature grounds that stretch down to the beach are filled with mango, almond, starfruit and cashew trees and a diverse range of native and exotic plants, many of which are grown at the on-site nursery. Whether taking an electric cart along the estate road or a short walk through one of the many garden paths, the incredible white sand beach, stretching over 1,000 feet is truly one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean, if not worldwide.
