Gillam Bay Beach Club

Description

This beautiful home, affectionately monikered Carefree Highway, should be on the cover of a magazine featuring the Bahamian vernacular. The architecture, design and flow of this detached 'pod style' home is flawless for the extended family, offering 4 spacious bedrooms with generous ensuite bathrooms. Accentuated by breathtaking views over the blues of the Sea of Abaco and easy proximity to everything, the immaculate home has never been rented but it could be a fantastic vacation rental. The 2,683 SF home is elevated off the ground 14' to take advantage of the views and the breezes while creating an invaluable space below for carts, toys and tools. Some of the key features of the sturdy home include the AC double garage, the beautiful granite slab surfaces, a 30,000-gallon water cistern, roll-down window shutters, double-glazed windows, 50-year metal roofing, luxury furnishings, a new CAT backup generator, new luxury vinyl flooring, LED lighting, and high-efficiency AC system. One of the best features is the 2,268 SF elevated decking connecting the pods but also providing multiple enclaves to enjoy the outdoors in any weather while maintaining absolute privacy. The floorplan entails the main pod of the home with the large open plan living and dining room with the gourmet kitchen, a powder room and the primary bedroom suite. The primary suite has a walk-in closet plus a 6-piece bathroom, including an enclosed W/C. The northwest pod contains the concrete water storage cistern with the double garage 5 feet above ground plus a bedroom suite above which includes a walk-in closet and a 3 piece bathroom. The northeast pod contains 2 bedroom suites, one atop the other. The lower bedroom in the NE pod has a walk-in closet, while the upper bedroom has an inviting balcony ideal for taking in the panoramic views. The meticulously landscaped grounds total 26,198 SF. It is located in the coveted Gillam Bay neighborhood which has had tremendous growth over the past 10 years. From the commanding elevated porch one can view the bonefish flats of the Sea of Abaco, the picturesque Gillam Bay beach and out to the vast Atlantic Ocean. Within a few minutes cart ride from the home can be found deep water docking, various dining and shopping options and multiple community beach areas. Green Turtle Cay is a short and easy flight from Florida or the SE USA but it is also a stark contrast to the busy city life. The charming and friendly community is small but still offers fine dining and lively entertainment. The Abacos are renowned for boat activities of all kinds including world class diving and fishing or just relaxing in the shallows with a beverage. Green Turtle Cay and The Abacos are the best kept secret you will want to help us keep. Shown by appointment only with 24 hours' notice.
