Cornish Cay, Bahamas

Very rarely does an island with over 33 acres become available in the beautiful Bahamas, but this gem is presently now available for the lucky owners.

Cornish Cay is located in Abaco Sound in the northern Bahama Islands and lies about 200 miles east of Palm Beach and 90 miles north of Nassau. The perimeter of the island measures approximately a mile and a half and includes a mile of pink sand beaches and a rolling terrain with the highest elevation being 55 feet. At the hilltop, panoramic views of Pelican Cays National Park, North Bar Inlet and historic Pelican Harbour can be enjoyed.

The owners of Cornish Cay have preserved much of the island's natural state and the extensive improvements that have been made were done so to keep the natural beauty of the island intact. Presently there is a marina guesthouse and a beachfront guesthouse on the western shores and caretaker's lodge. The Main Residence rests on the hilltop with magnificent views of the surrounding waters. This has been gutted and awaits the new owners to complete this blank canvas to their specifications. The two guest cottages are solidly built and feature ceiling fans, electric and gas service, kitchen appliances and baths with showers and furnished with one being air-conditioned. Each cottage has a 7,000 gallon reserve rainwater cistern under a screened porch, electric pump and gas water heater. A cistern on the hilltop supplies water to lower buildings.

Other support structures include a workshop, large storage barn, covered electric lift for boats to six tons in a boat harbour carved in rock, a stone garden house for stone vegetable planters and generator shed. Also ,two boat launch ramps, backup 150 KW diesel generator with auto transfer, ample docks, 80,000 gallon water storage cistern, 4 deep wells ready for a reverse osmosis plant, new native stone retainer wall along the western coast and water and electrical conduit have been embedded in the ground traversing the cay in preparation for construction of more villas or support buildings. Government utility power is supplied.

Cornish Cay has abundant foliage and is a nature lover's Paradise. This is an ideal retreat for those wanting a convenient location, manageable size, modern services and conveniences, seclusion and a perfect island retreat.
