LOCATION

These two new homes for sale are on the edge of the charming, historic, seaside village of Hope Town, Bahamas.  Hope Town is on the island of Elbow Cay, which is lined with pristine beaches and surrounded by world-class boating and fishing.  The area is just a one-hour flight from Florida and a half-hour flight from Nassau.

Both houses are just a stone's throw from one of the island's most beautiful beaches.  A short walk along a sandy path leads to the pristine, virtually deserted oceanfront with white sand, crystal-clear water.  Coral reefs close to shore offer protected swimming and snorkeling.

The location combines all the convenience of being "in town" with a sense of peace and tranquility.  Shops, restaurants, grocery, post office, harbor and ferry are all within easy walking distance.  As Hope Town is a pedestrian village, motorized vehicles are generally not allowed on its narrow lanes -- resulting in an unusually quiet, low-key atmosphere.

Both houses are surrounded by tall, lush native foliage and border protected, undeveloped land.  The mature landscaping includes Christmas palms, coconut palms, cork trees, casuarina trees, pandanas, bird of paradise and bougainvillea.  A rarely-used town park to the north creates open views, a sense of space and the security of permanent open land.


DESCRIPTION OF HOUSES

Each house:

• 3 bedroom, 2 bath plus an extra room with separate entrance

• 1400 SF living space; 700 SF porches & decks

• 200 feet to beautiful beach with white powder sand and aquamarine waters

• oriented for Atlantic ocean and Sea of Abaco views

• steps to shops, restaurants, grocery, public dock & ferry

• open plan concept with post & beam construction

• reclaimed yellow pine flooring throughout

• carefully engineered for super low maintenance using superior materials and craftsmanship

• easily expanded-- add workshop, storage or additional bedrooms/baths on ground level

• ready for kitchen & bath finishes of your choosing.

Both houses have the potential to generate substantial rental income.  Hope Town is a popular vacation destination with Americans, Canadians and Europeans.  Many second home owners rent out their cottages while they are away, as the island has a long and strong history of rental income.  (There are three rental agencies on the island.) 


NEW PRICES -- REDUCED 50%

The prices of both houses have been reduced to almost half of the original list price. Previously the houses were listed with a broker at $995,000 each.  (Click for old listing.)
