Elizabeth Island Property
One of the best living situations is to have complete privacy within easy access of public amenities.

One of the best living situations is to have complete privacy within easy access of public amenities. On privately held Elizabeth Island, located just three miles east of bustling Georgetown in the Exuma island chain of the Bahamas, there is a 38-acre waterfront parcel with 9,300 feet of frontage land available that delivers this idyllic combination. The property is ideally positioned at the southeastern end of the island and encompasses six beaches with access paths lined in mature coconut trees. Its two-acre protected harbor has a depth of eight feet at low tide and can accommodate several large yachts, while the sophisticated private marina features two floating docks plus a boat ramp which can accommodate a floatplane. Living and entertaining spaces are already in place: the 1,200-square-foot boat house with vaulted cathedral ceilings serves as the property’s social center, and the three-story 2,740-square-foot cistern house contains four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The boat house has a pool table, seating and dining areas, a spacious deck, and a galley kitchen with granite counter tops, custom birch cabinets and a five-burner stainless gas stove. The building also houses an electrical room, full bathroom, office, large storage room and water sports storage room. The cistern house features a workshop, garage and studio area on the first floor, a second-floor guest area with three bedrooms and two baths, and a third-floor master suite with a veranda overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The island’s self-sufficient infrastructure includes solar panels, a 16-kilowatt diesel generator, all underground utilities, and a complete water cistern and pump system for fresh water supply. Other amenities include a greenhouse, a citrus grove, two miles of walking trails, a charming beachside gazebo, a huge garage for boat storage, trailers and machinery, and endless coral reefs for snorkeling off shore. The island is currently used as a private residence but has the potential for development into a small resort, as it benefits from easy accessibility to Exuma International Airport, only a 15-minute drive north of Georgetown.
