Old Fort Estate Home

Old Fort Bay, Nassau and Paradise Island Bahamas

Welcome to one of the finest canal homes in The Bahamas. Completely renovated in a contemporary, elegant style, the spacious house and lushly landscaped property are perfect for family life or executive entertaining.

Set back on a cul-de-sac in the prestigious, gated community of Old Fort Bay, the property's automatic gates open onto a courtyard driveway with a sports pavilion and separate cottage hosting two 1-bedroom apartments tucked among the trees to the left. The colonial-style main house greets you on the right.

A chandeliered entryway and an airy open floor plan greet you inside the front door. The living and dining room areas flow into the heart of the home: the family room and gourmet kitchen, complete with an eat-at island, breakfast nook, cooling drawers, wine fridge, Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Viking appliances, and floor to ceiling storage closets.

The ground floor also hosts a large study with double desks and built-in bookcases, a half bathroom, and an ensuite guest bedroom. The rooms downstairs flow onto a wide, wrap-around verandah with multiple outdoor dining areas overlooking the beautiful gardens and canal.

Upstairs, the four ensuite bedrooms all have walk-in closets, sleek bathrooms, and open out onto a covered balcony. The spacious master has it's own private balcony and includes a dressing room, grand bathroom with an oversized soaking tub, rainfall shower, and his and her vanities.

The third floor is a multipurpose room currently used as a game room. It includes a kitchenette, built-in desk, two televisions, multiple seating areas, and storage closets.

The property slopes down to the entertainment centre of the home: the pool loggia and expansive lagoon-styled pool with connecting lap pool. Surrounded by a grand patio with a soothing walled fountain, the loggia includes a mahogany bar, sound system, television, generous sitting area, and a changing room with a full bathroom.

The one-bedroom guest cottage with a large porch for additional dining and socializing overlooks the pool and canal.

A golf cart path leads from the main house kitchen down to the pool and the 100' dock with a boat lift. The 1,500 ft² of dock space allows ample room for sunset cocktails and canalside dining. There is also a 20' floating dock.

The property's location in the marina basin and the lush landscaping throughout the gardens provide substantial privacy to this unique home.

This private oasis a remarkable, one-of-a-kind property.
