Ideally located on the spectacular Schooner Bay Beach, this 80-acre site is one of Abaco’s finest beachfront properties. With 1,850 feet of pristine beach frontage, gentle elevations of over 75 feet, and all utilities available, this land is prime.
Rated "phenomenal" by Condé Nast Traveler Magazine, Schooner Bay Beach is located 25 miles south of Marsh Harbour and spans for more than 2 miles of powder soft sand, with a large bay and an elevated ridgeline. Situated in the narrowest southern region of Abaco, the property’s elevations of over 75 feet offer stunning views of both the eastern and western coastlines.
The specific market area of the property may be defined as existing between The Abaco Club at Winding Bay to the north and Crossing Rocks to the south. This area has seen a strong pattern of development over the past decade as new projects continue to foster further expansion in the South Abaco region.
The property borders a fully serviced 40-acre private residential community to its south, Serenity Point, also owned by Anco Lands. The high-end, boutique project consists of 46 fully serviced home sites, with planning for a beach clubhouse, tennis courts, and various eco-friendly features (visit website). Available at the properties’ border are fiber optic cable, a six-inch water line supplying city water, and high-tension electrical services via a newly built substation with substantial capacity remaining available for large-scale development.
Situated directly adjacent to Serenity Point, the 320-acre Schooner Bay Village is also in active development. The first of its kind in the Bahamas, Schooner Bay Village is planned within the historic settlement tradition, and will include a 150-slip harbour, a high-density, mixed-use village centre with restaurants, cafés and shops, boutique hotels, organic farms, a broad range of housing types, a school, medical clinic, and various resort amenities. Master planned by renowned Duany Plater-Zyberk, the development incorporates the best of new urbanist design, and will most closely resemble the popular, integrated lifestyle destinations of Hope Town on Elbow Cay or Dunmore Town on Harbour Island. Approximately $100 million has been spent on the development thus far, with the harbour completed, 40 homes and two boutique hotels with restaurants built, and construction on a wide range of amenities, including a sports complex, beach club with pool, and 15,000 square foot club house with restaurant, spa and gym is ongoing. (visit website).
Approximately two miles north of the property, The Delphi Lodge, an exclusive fishing lodge set on a five-acre site at Rolling Harbour, has been in operation for five years. (visit website).
Th Abaco Club at Winding Bay is situated 15 miles further north on 534 acres, and features a top-rated tropical links golf course as well as most of the standard amenities of a major conventional resort development, such as a clubhouse, health spa, and equestrian center. This upscale project opened in 2004, pioneering larger-scale development in the South Abaco region (visit website). It was acquired by Southworth Development in December of 2014, and additional development, including a new marina, is ongoing.
The region also includes several conventional subdivisions, notably Bahama Palm Shores, Casuarina Point and Sands Cove.
The town of Sandy Point is roughly 18 miles to the southwest and is served by a paved 4,500 foot Air Strip (currently facilitating the Schooner Bay Village development’s private air service). The Sandy Point marina also provides regular ferry service to Nassau (more info).
