🏝️ Southern Cross Beach Estate: Harbour Island's $47.5M Secret
The Untold Story of the Bahamas' Most Exclusive Beachfront Property
Expert analysis by Glenn Ferguson - 24+ years of Bahamas real estate experience
Tucked away in the ultra-private Narrows of Harbour Island, Southern Cross Beach Estate is one of the largest, most secluded beachfront properties ever offered for sale in the Bahamas. But most listings barely scratch the surface.
Let's go deeper—into what really makes this place a standout, why it commands nearly $50 million, and what every serious buyer or investor needs to know.
Glenn Ferguson's Insight: With over 24 years as a licensed Bahamas real estate agent and Residency Consultant, I've seen properties like this appreciate significantly. This estate represents not just luxury living, but a generational wealth opportunity in one of the Caribbean's most stable markets.

đź“Ť Property Overview
What Makes Southern Cross Different from Anything Else on the Island?
1. True Oceanfront Acreage in The Narrows
This estate isn't just beachfront—it's elevated above the dune line, giving it rare natural protection and unmatched views. The layout connects a series of pavilions around private courtyards, maximizing privacy, airflow, and views of the Atlantic.
2. Design Built for Island Life—Not Just for Show
The estate uses materials that last in this climate: hardwoods from South America, custom German windows, limestone, copper accents, and polished concrete. The craftsmanship is world-class, but built to function beautifully in the Bahamian environment.
3. Space for Extended Family or Hospitality Use
With 8 bedrooms and almost 3 acres of land, it's ideal for large families, corporate retreat buyers, or anyone looking to run an exclusive, staffed villa operation.
What the Original Listing Doesn't Tell You
Here's what other sites miss:
đź’ˇ Glenn's Professional Take
As a certified wedding planner and vacation rental specialist, I've worked with dozens of luxury estates. Southern Cross stands out for its versatility—perfect for high-end destination weddings, corporate retreats, or premium vacation rentals generating $60k+ per week.
đź’°It's Already Rental-Tested
Southern Cross has operated as a private rental in the past. Weekly rates reportedly exceeded $60,000 during peak seasons. That gives you serious income potential—even if you only rent it 10–15 weeks per year.
🌴It's Hurricane Smart
The estate is positioned above the high dune ridge. That elevation makes it less vulnerable to storm surge than most oceanfront properties. Landscaping is mature and designed to serve as a natural wind buffer.
đź”’It's Private, But Not Remote
The estate sits in the exclusive "Narrows" district—where neighbors include international business leaders, media moguls, and generational family trusts. It's minutes from the island's top dining, Dunmore Town, and a short hop to the North Eleuthera Airport via water taxi.
🌍 Prime Harbour Island Location
Located in the prestigious Narrows district of Harbour Island, this property offers unparalleled access to the famous pink sand beaches while maintaining ultimate privacy. Harbour Island is renowned as one of the Caribbean's most exclusive destinations, attracting celebrities, business leaders, and discerning travelers from around the world.
- 3-mile stretch of world-famous pink sand beaches
- Minutes from Dunmore Town's boutique shopping and dining
- Private water taxi access to North Eleuthera Airport
- Year-round tropical climate with cooling trade winds
- No property taxes for non-residents
