Tucked within the elite Old Fort Bay enclave, this 2.43-acre estate, totaling ten bedrooms and nine full and three half bathrooms under 12,000 sq. ft., commands a prime position on an elevated ridge. The property boasts an impressive 250 feet of manicured waterfront with direct beach access and expansive lawns, while its due-west orientation ensures spectacular year-round sunsets.
An opportunity to acquire a legacy estate of this caliber arises only once in a generation. Originally established in the 1930s, Jungle Cove stands as a timeless masterpiece of Bahamian architecture, having hosted an esteemed roster of visitors, including Ernest Hemingway, John F. Kennedy, and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. Rich in character and expanded over time, this historic home is intimately woven into the heritage of The Bahamas.
Thoughtfully expanded over decades, the property blends historic charm with refined additions: the original 1930s residence, a dramatic living room addition in the 1970s, and a beautifully appointed guest wing and staff accommodations completed in the 2000s. Designed to maximize stunning water views from every angle, the home showcases grand, impact-resistant picture windows throughout. The layout comprises a three-bedroom main residence alongside a guest wing providing four vaulted-ceiling suites, all styled in an island chic aesthetic. Oceanfront living awaits on the ground floor, featuring a maple-lined living room with panoramic views, and a gourmet kitchen crowned by a barrel-vaulted ceiling, skylights, and luxury appliances including a 60-inch Wolf gas range and side-by-side Sub-Zero refrigeration. With a conservatory, tv and game rooms, and formal dining area, this level is perfect for entertaining and relaxation. The entire second floor is dedicated to the primary retreat, accessible by elevator and featuring its own beachfront veranda, dual oceanfront offices, and a renovated spa-like bathroom equipped with a soaking tub overlooking the ocean, a steam shower, and separate his-and-hers facilities.
Anchored by century-old palms, silk cotton trees and mature foliage, Jungle Cove is a private oasis, reached by a winding gravel drive that opens into a hidden circular forecourt. The impeccably curated beachfront features an oceanside gym, multiple dining and seating areas, a Jacuzzi, and an infinity-edge lap pool with Coralina decking. Accommodations include a staff cottage above the three-car garage, affording three bedrooms, a living area, and a full kitchen.
With extensive renovations completed, including improvements to the roof, grounds, interior, and HVAC/AV systems, Jungle Cove is an unmatched opportunity for discerning buyers to own a piece of Bahamian history. Situated in Old Fort Bay, a premiere, gated waterfront community on the northwestern coast of New Providence, this iconic sanctuary perfectly blends privacy, lush tropical scenery, and stunning, unparalleled sunset views.
