Villa La Palmeraie II extends to some 11,736sqft and is a brand new 'turn-key' contemporary beachfront property on Harbour Island, facing immediately onto the famous beautiful 3-mile long pink sand beach and incredible turquoise Bahamian waters. Harbour Island, known as 'The Nantucket of the Caribbean' is one of the gems of the Bahamas, just 3.5 miles long and barely 1.5 miles at its widest point, it's an historic community accessed through bright bougainvillea lined, quaint narrow roads passing pastel-coloured cottages, fantastic restaurants, shops, houses and boutique hotels. The super-chic island, only 3.5 miles long and 1.5 miles wide has a thriving community and has long been a favourite, low-key destination for music and movie stars, and well-known names in fashion and business who often frequent such beautiful locations around the world. For exploring the surrounding, pristine shallow waters, Harbour Island has three mooring options for boats up to 200ft, with Romora Bay Resort and Marina, Valentines Resort and Marina and the Briland Club Marina.Accessed from a quiet, sandy lane, arrival is via golf cart to the house with an electric sliding gate.
