Over a week ago international and national realtors, H.G.Christie, hosted local business people, predominant residents and potential purchasers to an open house to celebrate the completion of Grand Bahamaﾹs newest and most impressive beachfront estate……. the Seaview. Located in the exclusive community village of Princess Isles, this magnificent home was officially put on the market during the elegant launch at the home.
During the event, guests sipped champagne while touring this prestigious castle located on an incredible 1.24-acre lot boasting a one hundred and fifty-feet of ocean frontage. The property also includes a third acre adjacent lot with canal front access, for the keen sailor or yachtsman. And if that is not impressive enough, the home has six bedrooms, seven full bathrooms and a kitchen facility ready for the likes of Emerile Legasse!
This dream home is the vision of two American men who love Grand Bahama.
“Grand Bahama has such great potential, itﾹs on the verge of such substantial growth and has such expansion opportunity” commented Seaview developer Tom Ireland, co-partner of Paradise Beach of Prince Isles. His business partner, developer Mel Harris, who worked for the Grand Bahama Development Company thirty years ago was keen to invest in Freeport again, as he did when he bought and operated the Xanadu Beach Resort in the seventyﾹs. “Mel and I always come back to Freeport, we love it here, we set out to build a dream home and itﾹs turned out to be so much more!” This dynamic duo has brought in well known Floridian designers Jeffery Howard and local architect Donald Dean, who have designed a house that incorporates the essential necessities one needs, but have added inspiring concepts to make any guest swoon.
The Seaview estate is truly the King of the Princess Isle community, boasting incredible amenities such as: twenty two-foot ceilings, cherry wood kitchen cabinets, two stainless steel sub-zero refrigerators, traveline marble tile throughout the home, a family room with a customized wet bar, a fireplace, covered patios, a swimming pool and a Jacuzzi. The total square footage for the home is over ten thousand-feet with seven thousand feet of air-conditioned space. And all this built by our own Bahamian builders at FES construction, under the guidance of Fletcher Macintosh.
The home is being sold by H.G.Christie Grand Bahama, “the Seaview is an incredible home, itﾹs been designed for owners who like to entertain, relax by the beach and most importantly someone who loves The Bahamas,” said Lanelle Phillip-Cole, H.G.Christie Grand Bahama District Manager. As leaders in their local market, H.G. Christie was chosen to exclusively sell the Seaview, “we will advertise the property both locally and internationally via Christieﾹs Great Estates, which is the international real estate arm of Christie Auction house of London. This affiliation will allow us to come in contact with clients internationally who have the financial means to acquire properties of this caliber ” added Ms. Cole. H.G. Christie is the oldest real estate Company in the country and has the largest real estate online database in The Bahamas.
Seaview is the first of four spec homes being built by the Paradise Beach of Princess Isles Company, next on the design board is a delightful Bahamian Beach house complete with surround porch and island style d�cor. But for now all the efforts of the company have been on finishing and now selling this dream home. “I am so pleased with the finished product, it�s hard to let it go – but we want to build more and we know that Grand Bahama is ready for this project and for these homes,” stated Mr. Ireland.
