of the historic "Old Fort Bay" Club on the West side of the
island of New Providence, Nassau, Bahamas.
The
estate consists of a Main House and Cottage in a renowned
garden, overlooks the entire bay from an elevated position,
and has immediate access to a private beach. Considered to be
one of the finest beaches on the island, "The Old Fort Bay" is
adjacent to historic Lyford Cay Harbor. The house was

own home, and presents a quality of Design and furnishings
rarely found in a vacation home. Having been widely

publications as Vanity Fair.
On
first entering the 3-acre site one follows the winding
driveway though the multitudes of Palm Tree specimens. The
large, antique, wooden Front Door leads into a floral-covered
courtyard, which can serve as a wonderful outside dining area.
The Court Yard not only gives access to the main house but
also 3 separate bedrooms.
When

the Beach.
Both
sides of the Pool have an expansive leveled lawn. To the right
of the Infinity Pool is a Gloriette, superb for having a
tranquil dinner, and two separate Patios that have been
landscaped into the natural rock above the Sea. This area is
wonderful for sunbathing, a sunset aperitif and barbeques.
