Bahamas Luxury Homes

One of the most scenic residential areas in Nassau Bahamas is along the Eastern Road.
As its name implies, Eastern Road is located on the eastern end of Nassau and some of the most charming luxury homes on the island can be found here.
In the old days, this section of Nassau was referred to as “the country.” The well-to-do lived in Colonial homes in downtown Nassau. Horse and carriage rides by the sea on Eastern Road were a favorite Sunday recreation.
The entire stretch of the road is now dotted with upscale island homes and Bahamas luxury homes. Many of them are lovely old homes and others (see mls # 7071) are new, but the architecture captures the charm of yesteryear.
The homes are painted in the soft pastels of Old Nassau. Seascapes of dazzling turquoise and blues, and look-out points dot the road. One home is even fashioned after a lighthouse.
These Bahamas luxury homes have beautiful names, like Wind Whistle, New Moon, Bally Crystal and Wave Crest.
The older homes, such as The Hermitage, home to the priests of the Catholic Diocese of Nassau, are perched on cliffs high above the sea with sprawling gardens running down to the Eastern Road.
Old native stone and colouful walls line the road; bright bougainvillea cascades down. In May and June, the road is ablaze with the gorgeous red flowers of the Poinciana trees and the yellow Shower of Gold. Several magnificent Silk Cotton trees provide a green canopy overhead.
Some of Nassau's most prominent citizens have and continue to call Eastern Road home. With its beauty and special ambiance, we can see why.
