REAL ESTATE…with a difference: Steve Martin’s West Indies Hideaway!

Although his initial success came as a stand-up comic and “Saturday Night Live” host, Steve Martin has also become one of Hollywood’s most popular romantic comedy actors in movies such as “L.A. Story,” “It’s Complicated,” “Housesitter,” “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels,” and “The Out-of-Towners.” Steve’s romantic side can also be seen in his stunning vacation hideaway on St. Barth. It is one of those places to kick back with your gin and tonic and the salt breeze sweeping up the hillside in the company of the one you love.

Steve Martin has had a fabulous career. From writing comedy, plays, music and books to stand-up comedy to stage and film actor and musician, Martin has been showered with awards for excellence at every turn. If it’s creative, he not only does it but excels. His comedy albums “Let’s Get Small” and “A Wild and Crazy Guy” went platinum and his song “King Tut” reached No. 17 on the 1978 charts selling over a million copies. He appeared 16 times on “SNL” and after years in comedy, stopped doing stand-up in 1981 in order to concentrate on film. He has now made 53 films, many of which he has either written or co-written.

The Martins have put their stunning St. Barth Island paradise on the market. Located high in the hills of Lurin, St. Barthelemy, the sprawling 28,191 square foot tropical colonial-style home sits gracefully above the Atlantic with fabulous views from its half-acre of land. Each of the four bedrooms with en-suite baths and outdoor showers open to their own terrace through louvered floor-to-ceiling shutters. The master also has an outdoor shower and a hot tub on the private terrace. The entire home is island style with beamed ceilings and walls opening to views of the ocean, multi-level terraces and the two-tiered infinity pool. A perfect home for friends and family, especially for those who love spending private moments together in the tropics.

Steve Martin’s Villa Au Soleil in St. Barth now for sale at $11.59 million.
