The moneyed and the Caribbean island of Mustique have been synonymous since British landowner and socialite Colin Tennant’s first sorties there in the early 1960s. It was nonetheless startling when Malcolm Healey, a British billionaire who built his fortune in kitchens, put his Mustique holiday home on the market for $200mn three years ago. The Terraces is a 13-bedroom complex comprising a main house, annexe, guest cottages and buildings for staff, with around 38,000 square feet of living space, the largest home on the island. It sits on 17 hilltop acres and includes three pools plus its own chapel. The asking price is almost four times more than the previous record set by a $52mn sale in 2005. Roger Pritchard, managing director of the Mustique Company, the island’s management company, describes it as “the trophy house”.
自20世纪60年代初英国地主兼社交名流科林•坦南特(Colin Tennant)首次踏上马斯蒂克岛以来，富豪与加勒比海岛屿马斯蒂克几乎成了同义词。尽管如此，三年前，当靠厨房产业发家的英国亿万富翁马尔科姆•希利(Malcolm Healey)将自己在马斯蒂克的度假住宅以2亿美元挂牌出售时，仍令人震惊。The Terraces是一处拥有13间卧室的建筑群，包括主屋、附楼、客用小屋和员工用房，居住面积约3.8万平方英尺，是岛上最大的住宅。它坐落在17英亩的山顶土地上，配有三座泳池和一座私人小教堂。其要价几乎是此前纪录的四倍——此前的纪录是2005年一笔5200万美元的成交。岛上管理公司Mustique Company的董事总经理罗杰•普里查德(Roger Pritchard)称它为“一栋战利品级豪宅”。
