Gun Point is a singular 80-acre natural treasure that redefines the concept of a coastal trophy property. Positioned as a dramatic peninsula at the apex of North Eleuthera, this historic estate offers a rare combination of absolute privacy and logistical ease. Deeded by King George VI to the legendary media mogul Lord Beaverbrook after WWII, Gun Point remains one of the most culturally significant landholdings in the Bahamas. With two miles of pristine water frontage and an open-zoning status, it represents an unparalleled opportunity for a world-class private residential compound or a boutique luxury development.
