Waterfront Property in the Bahamas & Real Estate Expertise

What else is there to enjoy in The Bahamas after the glorious sun, sand and sea?

How about:

Growing orchids on your trees in a climate that is a natural greenhouse…all year long? About 60 species of orchids grow wild in the Bahamas and most of the “tame” orchids adapt to life here enthusiastically.

Walking out the front door of your Ocean Club Estates residence on Paradise Island to rub elbows with celebrities on the One and Only Ocean Club Golf Course…while your son goes out the back door to rev up your boat for a lobster fishing trip at Rose Island?

Drinking coconut water fresh from the tree in your backyard or beach? Or making really organic coconut ice cream from jelly coconut?

Taking the kids to the Jonus Brothers or Miley Cyrus concerts at Atlantis? Or seeing Boyz II Men or The Pointer Sisters or Michael Bolton at the Wyndham Resort, West Bay Street?

All up close and personal…and all among the unexpected joys of life in The Bahamas.

The Bahamas may be home to a laid-back island lifestyle, but nestled amidst the lush foliage await luxurious gated communities like the Balmoral, whose amenities afford a lifestyle beyond expectation. Woven within 43 acres of rolling hills and old-growth native trees are a mix of residential lots, 2, 3 or 4 bedroom town homes, and a few 2 bedroom condominiums. The 4 bedroom town homes have a bedroom on the ground floor which is vital if you want a ground floor bedroom or office. All finishes are of high quality. Very flexible financing terms are being offered as well. There are 2 payments…an initial down payment of 10%; then the balance (90%) upon completion of your unit. Easy!

The Balmoral gated community boasts a stately mansion built in 1948 by Sir Oliver Simmonds as the elegant exclusive clubhouse. Amenities provided are a café and restaurant, grand lounge, billiards room, conference room, media room, gym with ocean views, clubhouse pool and bar, and much more. Additionally, there is a tennis center with its own clubhouse / pro shop and 3 clay tennis courts endorsed by Bahamian great Mark Knowles. A nearby golf course and a beautiful sandy beach ( Cable Beach ) offer additional activities just outside this community.

There are many levels of entry to this luxurious community. The residential lots at Balmoral started from $200,480; condos at $299,000; and town homes at $359,000. Please contact me or my partner David Lunn if you have further interest in the details and floor plans. If you know a friend who this would be perfect for, get back to me with their details and I will be very appreciative of your referral.

When you think of relocating to the Bahamas the first thing that comes to mind is beautiful sand, sea and the tranquility of small island life. Then reality sets in. Families who are relocating to the Bahamas with small children, the prospect of finding a good school and activities for the kids becomes a huge concern. New Providence Island (Nassau) may be small in size but very large when it comes to choices in your child’s education and extracurricular activities. I have been here for 21 years and have seen a tremendous growth in children’s sports and cultural programs. Our three top private schools each offer fabulous facilities and their own unique teaching style. St. Andrews International School is usually the first stop. The Junior Baseball League of Nassau provides a wonderful facility for kids of all ages which is well organized and growing tremendously in popularity each year. Soccer is probably the most popular junior league in the Bahamas with some teams now competing at the International level. For those who don’t fancy a team sport, there is horseback riding, tennis, kite surfing, scuba diving and golf just to name a few.

Relocating to the Bahamas with your family does not have to be a daunting experience. I can help with every aspect, from finding the perfect home in just the right area to providing information on schools and activities. Helping families to settle in and make the most of everything the Bahamas has to offer is the best part of my job as a Realtor. Contact me at sandrews@bahamasrealty.bs.

Whether you make the sunny islands of the Bahamas your home, a vacation destination, or a holiday retreat; you need look no further than the island paradise of Great Harbour Cay in the Berry Islands. Miles away from the upscale lifestyle of Ocean Club Estates, Atlantis, Lyford Cay, Old Fort Bay, and the Albany; yet only a 17 minute flight away from them hides a paradise unto its own. With unspoiled powder white sandy beaches, crystal clear water mottled in such colors as aquamarine, turquoise, blue and everything in between, full service marina and some of the best bonefishing and big game fishing in the islands of the Bahamas, is it any wonder that famous celebrities are attracted to its siren-like call. On our most recent trip there, my real estate partner David Lunn and I, found out on the flight that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were there not a week before looking at private islands like Cistern Cay.

The beachfront home that we listed in Great Harbor Cay is a perfect island getaway. With a panoramic ocean view and virtually your own private beach, what more could you want besides a hammock and a Bahama Mama cocktail. Take a look at the virtual tour of the home yourself and see what I mean.

Located at the western end of New Providence in The Bahamas is Lyford Cay, one of the most exclusive residential communities in the Caribbean Region and renowned over the years as the winter residence for the scions of industry including Rockefellers, Fords, Greek shipping magnates, Laura Ashley, Sir John Templeton and in more recent times, British financier Joe Lewis and Sean Connery.

There is now a new generation of hedge fund managers, entertainers and leaders in the tech industries who have found the convenience of living on an island paradise and being just 30 minutes from the East Coast of Florida and 2 1/2 hours from New York appealing….. not to mention the Bahamas has no income, capital gains or inheritance taxes.

Neatly tucked within the secure gates of Lyford Cay is a 10,000 square foot French Provincial-styled stately home with the privacy of an Embassy property set on 1.2 acres of manicured gardens. Visit this magnificent property at BahamasRealty.bs/3613 and also visit our home page at BahamasRealty.bs where you can access a Podcast of this property featured on our “Bahamas Realty Now” Home Show.

Perhaps you do need a bit of money to secure this dream home, but you don’t need to be famous. Call me for further details.

What do Johnny Depp, Shakira, Marc Anthony, David Copperfield, Nicholas Cage, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw all have in common? Apart from being celebrities they all own private islands in The Bahamas. Their own private tropical oasis that helps make up the more than 700 islands of The Bahamas. Conveniently located just 50 miles off of the Florida East coast, The Bahamas archipelago of limestone coral islands, powder sand beaches and turquoise seas stretch for 500 miles to within 60 miles of the Eastern tip of Cuba and the Western end of the island of Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic).

Owning a private island is not just for celebrities. For less than you might imagine your own private island domain can be yours. Take your pick of three exciting islands that are being offered freehold by Bahamas Realty: Goat Cay, Lignum Vitae Cay and Cistern Cay in the Berry Islands. Click each name for a link to these islands on the Bahamas Realty web site.

So who would your neighbors be? Shakira and Marc Anthony. A pretty nice neighbourhood I’d say. For more information give me a call.

“Peace, tranquility and ever so close to nature”

My wife and I spent a long weekend with very dear friends of 40 years in their new home in Spring Island, SC. The excitement started when I packed my 40oz bottle of Bacardi Anejo in my suitcase and had it confiscated at Airport Security and US Customs were not sure if they were going to let us in the US with a Bahamian delicacy, ‘Conch Salad’. We managed to persuade them otherwise.

Our flight from The Bahamas was uneventful apart from the confusion of being electronically ticketed on one airline and flew on another but we arrived safely.

The house is set back well within its two acres and the curved driveway hides it completely from the road. The back borders onto the 12th hole of the “Old Tabby Links Golf Course”, designed by Arnold Palmer.

The interior of the house reminded us of a cozy English Country home and our friends shared their warmth and generosity with us. For an island boy growing up in the Bahamas and accustomed to lots of sun, pink sand, crystal clear blue skies and turquoise seas, this environment presented a stark difference and on my three rounds on the Old Tabby Links I managed to see wild Turkey, Deer, Foxtail squirrels, Rabbits, Alligators, a variety of Cranes and Egrets, Ospreys, Turtles (fortunately no Rattlers or Copperheads) and a host of other animals all going about their business in a totally unspoiled and serene environment.

There are lots of jogging, hiking and biking trails which crisscross the island and wind their way between ancient Oak and Pine. The ruins of the original Plantation House made from Tabby Stone (a mixture of Oyster shells and sand) provided a scenic backdrop for a late afternoon wedding that was held on the grounds. We also visited Spring Island Realty and met Jim and Mary which afforded us an opportunity of telling them a little about real estate in The Bahamas.

To top our visit off, we visited Beaufort and were educated as to its history while being pulled along in a buggy by an enormous Belgium horse and entertained by a very humorous retired Veterinarian from New Jersey.

We’re back in Nassau and rearing to go. Thanks Nat.

Very few things in life are as beautiful and luxurious as a waterfront property in the Bahamas. Flaunting lush, tropical landscapes bursting with colorful blooms and fruit trees, calming ocean breezes, and sparkling aquamarine water—the natural beauty of a waterfront home in the islands beckons you to the beach for a romantic stroll or some quiet time soaking up the sun. With ample opportunity for outdoor recreation, shopping, ambient dining, and nightlife, every day in the Bahamas is as exciting and adventurous or relaxing and slow-paced as you want it to be, which is why the Islands of the Bahamas is every man and woman’s paradise.

When searching for that perfect Bahamas waterfront home, homebuyers have an array of properties to choose from. Homebuyers wanting a low maintenance residence with plenty of amenities may opt for a Bahamas waterfront condominium, penthouse, or townhouse, many of which offer fitness facilities, swimming pools, private docks, and other perks within their communities. On the other hand, single family houses for sale in the Bahamas can offer more space for family and visitors, and are located in a variety of settings, from tight-knit subdivisions surrounding a canal to the quietest beachfront locales. Bahamas waterfront real estate also includes the sale of private islands, which not only offers a lucrative and rewarding opportunity to those interested in opening a Bahamas resort or other commercial development, but is also a desirable option for homebuyers looking for the luxury and sheltered seclusion of a private island residence.

A surprising fact about waterfront properties in the Bahamas is how affordable they can be; for the price of a city condo or a suburban house in the States, you can own an exotic home in the Bahamas that makes daily life a true vacation. From charming beachfront fixer-uppers to fully furnished multi-million dollar mansions and picture-perfect waterfront lots, Bahamas real estate has a home for every budget and every lifestyle. With some of the most beautiful waterfront properties in the world, it is no wonder why so many people come to the Bahamas to find their dream home.
