The oceanfront land, harbor front land and two homes for sale are located in charming, peaceful Hope Town, Bahamas.  Hope Town is a picturesque, 18th-century fishing settlement -- like a small, New England village on a tropical island.  Set foot on this island and step back in time to a slow-paced, simpler way of life -- in short, to the kind of place you thought no longer existed:
  • a quiet pedestrian village where walking and bicycling are the main forms of transportation
  • a  safe, family-oriented atmosphere where children roam free, playing along narrow, flower-lined lanes
  • a tranquil, friendly community where people know one another and doors are left unlocked
  • a village that maintains its historic charm while providing modern amenities.

Hope Town offers:
  • a relaxing, serene, "away from it all" atmosphere
  • the natural beauty of tropical foliage, exceptionally clear jewel-toned waters and secluded beaches with miles of white powder sand
  • spectacular sailing, boating, deep-sea and bone fishing, snorkeling, diving and surfing.
On a short walk through town, you'll find well-kept homes, a handful of quaint shops, several restaurants, a small hotel, and two tiny but well-stocked grocery stores.  The village rings a sheltered harbor -- a haven for sailboats from around the world and the center of this boating community where many adults and children travel to work and school by boat.  The four-mile-long island is populated by roughly 300 Bahamians, as well as seasonal European, Canadian and American second home owners and a sprinkling of discerning tourists.
