set on more than an acre of pristine beachfront within the gated enclave of old fort bay, villa océane is a private oceanfront estate of rare scale and presence. with over 22,000 square feet of total living space, including seven principal bedrooms and two staff bedrooms, the estate offers scale, privacy, and permanence in one of new providence’s most secure and established enclaves.
the architecture draws from the distinguished neo-classical style of the british west indies - measured, symmetrical, and enduring - creating a thoughtfully composed layout with classical proportions. generous ceiling heights and long internal sightlines orient the house naturally toward uninterrupted sea views, while indoor and outdoor spaces connect seamlessly, allowing the ocean to remain the constant focal point. natural caribbean limestone and coral stone define the exterior, offering a sophisticated balance of refined craftsmanship and island authenticity.
the principal living areas open directly to wide shaded terraces and the pool and beach beyond. abundant natural light, refined finishes, and a restrained color palette create a calm, composed interior ensuring the setting enhances rather than competes with the coastal environment.
at the heart of this exquisite residence is a large open-plan great room and family kitchen intended for everyday living and informal gathering, complemented by a fully concealed chef’s kitchen designed for professional service and discreet staff operation. this dual-kitchen configuration allows the home to operate equally well as a private family retreat or as a setting for elegant entertaining.
the seven ensuite bedrooms are arranged to provide privacy and independence, many with direct access to terraces and open water views. two additional staff bedrooms, located within a separate cottage, allow for full-service living while preserving the privacy of the main residence.
outdoor living has been carefully considered and executed. an elevated infinity-edge pool and jacuzzi overlook the shoreline, positioned to maximize views and privacy. an oceanfront pavilion sits above one of the finest stretches of beach on new providence, while multiple seating and dining areas are integrated into mature tropical landscaping with direct access to the sand and calm turquoise waters. a dedicated gym building further supports a self-contained, long-term residential lifestyle.
designed to meet the expectations of the most discerning international clientele, this extraordinary villa features 17 individually controlled air-conditioning zones, delivering a fully personalized living experience. every room, from private suites to formal living spaces, enjoys its own climate setting, allowing seamless adaptation to personal preferences, time of day, or seasonal changes. furthermore, a sophisticated control4 smart home system provides seamless, intuitive control of lighting, climate, entertainment, and security throughout the residence.
the property also includes a rainwater collection cistern designed to store captured rainfall for use in landscape irrigation.
villa océane is a home for buyers who value security, discretion, and ease of ownership, and who require a residence capable of operating flawlessly - whether for a long winter season, multi-generational use, or frequent, unplanned arrivals.
old fort bay is one of the bahamas’ most established and secure beachfront communities, characterized by low density, historic charm, and long-term ownership. it offers genuine privacy, and proximity to nassau and lynden pindling international airport (and 2 fbos) without exposure to commercial traffic or resort congestion.
it is a location that has proven its relevance over time, attracting an international community of discerning owners.
