set along 160 feet of deep-water canal frontage within the gated enclave of lyford cay, goldfinch is a rare canal-front estate designed as a true multi-generational family retreat - a home that balances refined european sensibility with the ease and openness of island living.
set high above the canal, the residence commands open water views while the elevation and thoughtful setbacks preserve a sense of privacy rarely found on canal-front properties
behind its elegant colonial façade, goldfinch unfolds into a series of carefully proportioned interiors finished with oak floors, mahogany windows, and intricately coffered ceilings. formal and informal spaces are intentionally balanced: gracious reception rooms for entertaining sit comfortably alongside warm, livable family areas designed for daily use.
at the heart of the home, the family room flows directly to the pool terrace and infinity-edge swimming pool, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor environment where most of island living naturally takes place. guests instinctively move through the family room space toward the water, drawn by the openness and serene expanse of the canal beyond. for quieter moments, a separate formal living room offers a contemplative retreat.
the main residence comprises six bedrooms across three levels, including a private primary suite, office, and guest accommodations that allow family and visitors to coexist with ease and privacy. wide terraces and upper-level verandahs extend the living space outdoors and take full advantage of the property’s elevated setting.
designed to operate as a true estate rather than a single house, goldfinch also includes a fully independent two-bedroom guest cottage—ideal for extended family or long-term visitors—as well as a three-bedroom staff apartment with its own living room and kitchen, ensuring smooth day-to-day operation without encroaching on the main household. a separate gym building and two-car garage complete the compound.
goldfinch is a carefully conceived and meticulously curated family estate: secure, private, beautifully proportioned, and designed to function effortlessly whether hosting a full house of guests or serving as a serene winter retreat.
within lyford cay, nassau’s most established and discreet residential enclave, this level of scale, frontage, and infrastructure is exceptionally rare. goldfinch offers a lifestyle defined by ease, privacy, and enduring quality.
