Brand New Home on a Private Beach

Your own stretch of the Exumas

A brand-new house raised on stilts at the end of its own low, scrub-covered point, with pale turquoise water on three sides and a curve of white sand below the deck. The nearest sound is the water.

Verandas wrap the house on two levels, so there is always a shaded side and always a view. Inside, the great room runs the full width of the building: a marble island and range at one end, sofas and armchairs at the other, and glass doors along both walls that stay open all day. Outside, a long table is laid under cover for fourteen, a rope chair hangs from the beam above the sun deck, and loungers sit out on the sand where the catamaran is drawn up.
