Villa Jasper has a fascinating history. This unique island home once belonged to its namesake, artist Jasper Johns, and was designed and built in the mid-1970s by renowned postmodern architect Philip Johnson. The property has recently undergone a complete renovation, and while improvements have been made in terms of comfort and amenities, great care and attention have been taken to preserve Johnson’s philosophy of minimalism and clean lines, ensuring that the soul and original character of the house remain intact.

Created as an island retreat for artists, designed to inspire and uplift, the choice of location was essential. Situated in Terres Basses, close to the border between the French and Dutch sides of Saint Martin, the property sits high on the hillside and offers breathtaking views over the picturesque Simpson Bay Lagoon. Surrounded by lush tropical vegetation and immersed in nature, the house blends effortlessly into its green surroundings. The white walls provide the perfect canvas for the silhouettes of the abundant vegetation, while the warm terracotta tones create a beautiful contrast with the blue waters and sky.
