If you don’t want to buy this $14.75 million luxury property, you can stay on it for a mere $8,900, per night through Vrbo. It’s location on aptly named Paradise Island, looking out over Nassau Harbor in the Bahamas, is reason enough to stay or live there but this waterfront villa is assured to “have it all.”
A villa in Paradise
Kick off your shoes and stretch back on the hammock with something in a coconut shell that’s around 90% rum. This luxury one-acre waterfront property features “a six-bedroom estate that sits under seven roofs.” Villa Sul Mare.
A stones throw from Nassau, in the Bahamas, “makes the most of its acre location along the waterfront by spreading out the living spaces within a lush green setting.”
The natives weren’t kidding when they named the place Paradise Island and “the property plays to its tropical locale with plantings of stately palms, natural flora and a lily pond.”
Kermit the frog’s linear lily pond winter home “stretches along the Concrete stepping stones that lead the the home’s main entrance.” The villa is designed to take full advantage of the mild Bahamas climate.
A cluster of buildings with “pyramidal hip roofs” provide “a casual island elegance to the 6,500-square-foot interconnected villa, which has a large motor court on the street side.”
All the living spaces are fully air-conditioned, while the “soaring open-beam cathedral ceilings, stained maple floors and rack and recessed lighting. Sliding glass walls bring in expansive views.”
Outdoor cooking and dining
You also pick up “an airy vibe” from the great room of the Villa Sul Mare with it’s harbor-facing view which “opens to a poolside terrace outfitted with upholstered seating.”
Meanwhile, a “roof-covered dining pergola shelters an outdoor kitchen.” This is no rude shelter, the 3,000-square-foot outdoor cooking and dining area “also contains a grill, a ping-pong table and a sunning deck.”
Gourmet chefs are impressed by the “sleek European-inspired kitchen” with its’ “double islands and state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances.” Even surrounded by all this luxury, residents and guests will be spending most of their time away from the villa.
Life there, they claim, “is easy.” Nobody in the neighborhood is hurting for cash, that’s for sure. “English is spoken, American dollars are on par with Bahamian dollars, the weather’s beautiful and people are friendly.”
Paradise Island is tucked away in a group of islands only a few hundred miles from Florida. The same plot of land where the villa sits “has sheltered everyone from pirates and freed slaves to blockade runners, rum smugglers and runaway lovers over the centuries.”
At one time, Edward Teach, better known as Blackbeard the pirate, “declared himself Nassau’s magistrate.“
