A Private Island in the Bahamas for $8.9 Million

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - February 17, 2017 - 1:14 pm

In the market for a private island?

Right now, the Bahamas is easily the region’s number one private island destination, with a wide portfolio of islands and cays on the market.

And if you’re looking for something a bit different, it’s time to think about the Berry Islands, the largely unknown archipelago of the southern Bahamas.

They’re home to Bird Cay, a 250-acre island at the southern end of the Berry chain, about 30 minutes by air from Nassau.

Bird Cay has 4.75 miles of water frontage, with sandy beaches, turquoise waters, trails, palm trees and coconut groves.

Yes, you can land a seaplane here.

HG Christie, which has the listing on the property, says one could even construct a few golf holes on the island.

Bird Cay is also just a short distance from Chub Cay, home to a private resort club, restaurants and a 5,000-square-foot airstrip with regular and chartered flights to Nassau.

“This is quite simply a tropical paradise tailor-made for a business retreat, a family compound, or a stunning island resort.,” the brokerage says.
