One of the Caribbean’s landmark homes is headed to auction.

The Georgian estate called Kilkee House on Paradise Island in the Bahamas will sell at auction next month through Concierge Auctions.

The two-acre property, which once entertained The Rat Pack and The Beatles in the 1960s, has two acres of beach and bay frontage.

The estate will sell at or above $10 million in cooperation with Lamond and Robyn Davis of Sterling Bahamas Realty.

The auction is set for Dec. 3 at Trump SoHo in New York.

“Kilkee House offers a unique and ideal balance of seclusion and convenience, accessible only by a short boat ride from the Nassau Harbor and in close proximity to the world-renowned Atlantis Resort & Casino, known for its first-class shopping, food and entertainment,” said Lamond Davis, president of Sterling Bahamas Realty. “This auction presents an incredible opportunity to purchase a unique property with an incredible back story.”

The property has long played host to luminaries, and was once owned by legendary actor Sir Richard Harris.

“Kilkee House is an extraordinary estate that is as beautiful as it is famed,” said Sarena Irwin, vice president of client services at Concierge Auctions. “Located in close proximity to some of the best resorts in the world, it’s completely private, yet in walking distance to everything a person could want. We encourage interested buyers from around the world to get involved to own this piece of paradise on auction day.”

The property had previously been offered for sale for $18.925 million.
