An Island in The Bahamas for $7 Million

 

By the Caribbean Journal staff

It’s the ultimate Caribbean fantasy — owning your private island.

But even for those who have the means (and the motivation) to buy one, developing it is another story entirely.

That’s what makes this currently-listed private island unique — it comes fully equipped.

This is Bonefish Cay, a 13-acre island in the heart of the Abaco chain of The Bahamas.

In recent years, it’s been developed into a full-fledged island retreat, with five buildings totaling 15,000 square feet, with a complete air conditioning system, self-generating electricity and even its own desalination plant.

Even better? It’s completely hurricane-proof.

The sprawling grounds include 5,000 square feet of living space, comprised of a “main lodge,” along with three detached bungalows, each with their own en-suite bathrooms and showers.

Overall, there are nine suites, meaning the property could even be a boutique resort.

But the real siren song, the thing that draws every private-island, is the natural beauty, something Bonefish Cay has in spades.

That means two beaches, a bay that’s home to nursing sea turtles, copious mangroves and easy access to deep sea fishing nearby.

Yes, there’s a chef’s kitchen.

The purchase of Bonefish Cay is truly a turn key experience. Included are not only the amenities of the Cay’s bungalows and Main Lodge, but the new owners will be given the keys to the island’s motor boats, jet skis, wave runners and inflatable zodiac,” says listing brokerage Christie’s International Real Estate.

It’s a short hop over to nearby Green Turtle Cay, one of the most legendary islands in The Bahamas (home to the venerable Bluff House boutique hotel).

The price? $7 million.

A New Coral Farm Is Coming to The Bahamas

 

By the Caribbean Journal staff

As coral reefs continue to dwindle around the region, more and more initiatives are looking to plant new coral and save dying reefs.

But in order to plant the coral, it has to grow somewhere.

That’s the plan for a major new project in the Bahamas: the Coral Farm Education and Research Centre, a Grand Bahama operation whose manager, Coral Vita, is dedicated to growing coral reefs.

The project broke ground in East Grand Bahama this week.

Coral Vita uses technology that grows corals up to 50 times faster, while “strengthening their resiliency to climate change threats,” according to a statement.

The new center is “adding to what is already a very powerful brand in The Bahamas, as a country that is on the cutting edge of conservation in marine and life sciences,” says Bahamas Agriculture and Marine Resources Michael Pintard.

“This project, to me, seems to be a natural option to that, along with the regeneration of the mangroves. These natural defenses, while may seem outlandish or scientific from the outset, will provide us with natural defenses and cost-effective defenses to protect what we have in our country,” Pintard says.
