This outstanding private estate is nestled within the confines of the renowned ‘Old Fort Bay’ club on the far western shore of New Providence, 25 minutes drive from Nassau. The historic Old Fort dates back to the late 1700s and is the focus of the beautiful gated waterfront community, with its fabulous homes, beach club, marina, canal systems and parks. Jungle Cove sits in an elevated position with views over the entire bay, and also immediate access via stairs carved into the rocks, to a private beach. Considered to be one of the finest beaches on the island, Old Fort Bay is adjacent to prestigious Lyford Cay, also known for its magnificent private residences.
The accommodation consists of a main house and a cottage within 3 acres of beautiful landscaped gardens. The large infinity pool is surrounded by a furnished terrace and expansive lawns from where the wonderful views can be enjoyed. Entrance to the property is up a winding driveway, through the grounds with many specimens of Palm Trees. The main house is accessed through a large, antique wooden entrance door, opening to a flower filled courtyard, which can also serve as an outdoor dining area. The property has four terraces carved into the natural rock overlooking the sea on different levels, perfect for cocktails, relaxing outdoors, barbecues or just sun bathing.
The house was decorated and furnished by an international designer as her own home. It has been widely photographed and appeared in several publications, including Vanity Fair magazine. The living room has stereo with surround sound system, with a choice of music also in the inner courtyard, swimming pool terrace, and the dining room. The TV room has satellite TV, DVD, VCR, fax and computer with wi-fi internet access. All the bedrooms have controlled air conditioning, internet access and the beds are fitted with the finest linen.
