A three-story library that took almost 4 years to complete just the finish that can easily sit ten in comfortable reclining leather chairs. This amazing locale also boasts, a tennis court, an 8,000 bottle wine cellar, 10 bedrooms, 11 baths, and approximately 27,000 square feet of living space, boat house, docks, Sunrise and Sunset Gazebos.

Katherine Baryluk and Robert Greenwood, Brokers and Owners of Regency International noted: "We are extremely pleased that there has been a positive outcome, luxury properties such as Emerald Cay have a limited and select clientele. As such, there needs to be a greater depth depth to any marketing effort in order to effectively share such properties with the world.

Prior to the sale of Emerald Cay, we showcased the estate on WealthTV, receiving the channels highest ratings for their "Private Islands" show. We quickly followed up with a second episode profiling such luxurious private islands as the A-List Parrot Cay. We feel that Caribbean Real Estate is some of the most desired throughout the world, with the future of the Turks and Caicos Islands being bright".

Whats fun to do in the Turks and Caicos Islands ?

Thought I would start doing a series of posts based on this question as I have been asked it so many times.

I have a feeling that some folks just don't get what we have to offer in the turks and Caicos Islands !!! Time to spotlight the Monaco of the Caribbean.

This was taken just offshore from Grace Bay Beach, voted one of worlds best beaches, looks like it could be fun... Actualy, I know its fun

Take a look at the amazing lifestyle we enjoy in The Turks and Caicos Islands.

Regency International Estates is anxiously awaiting the first of two new Television Shows dedicated to the Private Islands of the Turks and Caicos. The first of the two Private Island specials premiers March 24th at 9:30 EST/6:30pm PST on WealthTV, and its audience of affluent viewers. 

Prior to arriving in the TCI, the WealthTV crew, and their talented and beautiful Presenter/Producer Christina Cindrich had recently concluded an episode in Musha Cay and the Islands of Copperfield Bay, owned by famed illusionist David Copperfield. Something you might feel hard to compete with, until you see the magnificence of the first episodes feature Island of Emerald Cay, by far one of the most unique, opulent, luxurious, and astonishing private island estate in the Caribbean, if not the world!!!

The second private island special is a compilation of private Islands such as the  "A-List" island of Parrot Cay with such inhabitants as Keith Richards, Bruce Willis, Donna Karan, and Christie Brinkley. However, the focus of the show is not the glitz and Glamour, but that of the most amazing lifestyle afforded those who chose any one of our beautiful private islands to call home, from the simple to the opulent, we offer each end of the spectrum.

The Real Estate market in the Turks and Caicos is like no other… so many factors contribute to the “Value” of our islands real estate, most of which are well outside of what many would ever consider when buying a property in their own hometown. In the beginning they are continually banging away on their calculators in a futile effort to compare a property they may have seen in the Bahamas, Florida, or even worse, back home.

Quality of life is not measured by the “Price per square foot” formula it doesn’t exactly translate to “value per square foot”.

On every showing, with every client, I share the same statement, and do the same exact thing. If you can imagine standing on a beautiful balcony, I direct their gaze through the palm trees and out onto the powder soft white sandy beach, and turquoise waters beyond the infinity pools and say:

“You know, you can buy four walls, marble tiled floors, and cascading bathroom fixtures anywhere in the world, but that,” (pointing to the ocean) “that you can’t get just buy anywhere”. 

This one-statement helps them put into perspective exactly what it is they are doing. It’s not just a new property they are looking at, but also a new lifestyle. 

However, that’s just scratching the surface. The Turks and Caicos Islands offer so much more than just a great new lifestyle; it offers an investment opportunity that is felt to be unrivalled throughout most of the Caribbean. 

With an attractive Tax Haven Status with no annual property, income, inheritance and capital gains tax, stable government, no restrictions on foreign ownership and property ownership guaranteed by the British Crown, the islands instil a level of confidence rarely found in the Caribbean.

When you roll all of this in with the TCI’s convenient and great location - just a 90 minute flight from the US mainland, a mere 3.5 hour direct flight from Canada, and the fact that it is English Speaking, with U.S. Dollar as the local currency and has a very low crime rate, these islands offer a treasure trove of benefits that add value to every property in the Turks and Caicos Islands. 

This level of understanding takes time, and is usually something we can pass onto to our clients within a reasonable showing period of a day or two. It’s at this point that they put away their calculators and see the big picture. The myriad of benefits briefly we briefly touched on is the true value of the property you will inevitably buy in the beautiful Turks and Caicos Islands.

One of the beauties of what we do in the Turks and caicos Islands is our access to some of the worlds most beautiful homes, such as Emerald Cay. As Exclusive affiliates of Christies Intenrational Real Estate we have a unique opportunity to share properties such as Emerald Cay with a global network in over 40 countries around the world, all reaching the high net worth buyer who appreciate such properties as not just homes,but works of art,

Uniquely spectacular real estate in the Turks and Caicos Islands has once again played feature on the small screen, with R.A. Shaw-designed Emerald Cay showcasing as part of HGTV’s Million Dollar Rooms.

Ten years ago, real estate agents were selling million-dollar homes. Today they’re selling homes with million-dollar rooms.

The May 5 one-hour show featured 10 of the most expensive rooms in the world, including the three-story library of the $48.5 million dollar Emerald Cay estate located on the southwestern shore of Providenciales.

An all access pass into 10 of the most expensive rooms in the world, the show featured everything from a $5 million, two-story custom closet to a lavish home spa in Thailand. The show was promoted as “an exclusive look inside the most spectacular, one-of-a-kind designed rooms.”

The library, which is estimated to have cost around $4 million, is custom built, fully wood paneled room centering around a one of a kind helical staircase.

“The sophistication and structural integrity it is second to none,” explains Ron Shaw, owner of R.A. Shaw Designs, who designed the room said and managed the complete build of the project.

Shaw says the show’s highlight of the Emerald Cay library correctly displays the abilities and capabilities of design and construction in the TCI. “We can compete really well with the North American design market,” he said.

This is not the first time homes in the TCI have been featured on HGTV, the most popular home and garden channel in the United States. The popular “House Hunters International” show has featured home buyers searching for their dream homes in the TCI on several occasions over recent years.
