After over 10 years of using it as their Caribbean escape, and after extensively redesigning it to make it their own, Christy and John Mack have listed their pristine beachfront villa in the British Virgin Islands. Famous in the financial world, Mr. Mack was the chairman and CEO of Morgan Stanley from 2005 to the end of 2009, navigating it through the thick of the financial crisis. Following that intense time, they scooped up this opulent getaway in 2015 and are now seeking $24 million for it.
Set in the exclusive Oil Nut Bay community on Virgin Gorda, Ohm was built as a spec beach villa. So, it’s no surprise that the couple spent several years giving it a thorough gut renovation and filling it with custom touches. The lengthy transformation, lead by Mrs. Mack, was completed in 2019: Fortuitously in time for them to retreat to the remote spot during the COVID pandemic.
Across the nearly 6,000 square feet of living space, you can see the many bespoke decisions that were made. Not only are there custom furnishings throughout (and the listing will come furnished), but there’s a custom soundproofed media room, Teflon-coated wallpaper to withstand the beach air, and a second chef’s kitchen for impactful entertaining. Affluent buyers are also sure to appreciate the relaxing outdoor perks. There’s a chic deck, an infinity-edge pool, tropical landscaping, and beach access steps away.
Though it has been a cherished home for them and their family, listing agent Mike Fabbri of The Agency shares that the Macks are selling as their children’s interests and schedules have evolved. Now in a new chapter and using it less than they’d like, they’ve decided to pass it on to someone new.
Founder and CEO of The Agency, Mauricio Umansky, has co-listed the property. The TV personality and real estate mogul says, “This home is the ultimate example of what happens when elevated design meets an exceptional setting. It’s the kind of property that doesn’t come along often, and it resonates with buyers looking for a turnkey experience in one of the Caribbean’s most private and upscale communities.”
