Hawks Nest Cay is a 25-acre private island strategically positioned at the southern tip of Cat Island. Located just across the protected waters of Hawks Nest Creek, the island offers the ultimate balance of absolute seclusion and immediate proximity to the world-class amenities of the Hawk’s Nest Resort & Marina. This offering represents one of the most accessible and competitively priced private island opportunities currently available in the Bahamas.
Property Details
The island remains in its pristine, non-developed state, providing a clean slate for the development of a custom family estate or a boutique eco-resort. Its unique proximity to the neighboring resort’s 4,900-foot private airstrip and 28-slip marina essentially "plugs" the island into existing high-end infrastructure, significantly reducing the logistical hurdles typically associated with private island ownership.
Land and Water
The topography is defined by significant elevations along the southern shore, providing dramatic vantage points and natural protection. The northern shoreline features several white sand beaches and calm waters. The island is separated from the mainland by Hawks Nest Creek—a sheltered, deep-water channel that is naturally protected from ocean surges, making it an ideal location for a private dock capable of accommodating large vessels.
Access and Utilities
Logistics are remarkably simple: the island is a short "hop" across the creek from the Hawks Nest Marina. International arrivals are facilitated by the nearby private airstrip, which can receive light to mid-size jets. [Note: While the island is currently off-grid, its close proximity to the mainland resort provides a unique advantage for sourcing supplies and coordinating construction projects].
Lifestyle and Value
Renowned for world-class billfishing and bonefishing, this region is a premier destination for serious anglers and private pilots. Hawks Nest Cay offers the rare "best of both worlds" scenario—the exclusivity of a private island with the logistical support of a nearby resort. At under $1 million for 25 acres, it is a high-value acquisition for those seeking a manageable and well-positioned Bahamian sanctuary.
