Bird Cay is a remarkable 250-acre tropical sanctuary positioned at the southern terminus of the Berry Islands chain. Recently transformed through an extensive redevelopment program, the island now features a collection of new and renovated structures that blend historic stone architecture with modern beachfront luxury. Offered at $38,000,000 USD, this expansive property represents a unique opportunity for a legacy family compound or a world-class commercial resort in one of the Bahamas' most exclusive regions.
Property Details
The island’s residential footprint has been significantly expanded with the recent construction of 11 modern beachfront cottages. Complementing these are several fully renovated historic stone cottages and a large, newly developed resort-style gathering space. While several structures are nearing completion, the property includes pre-established plans for a grand main estate on the western tip, allowing a new owner to finalize the island's architectural vision.
Land and Water
Spanning 250 acres with over 4.75 miles of pristine water frontage, Bird Cay features a diverse landscape of sandy beaches, tropical palms, and citrus and coconut groves. The interior is threaded with a network of trails, while open grassland areas provide a natural foundation for a private golf course. The island is geographically protected by neighboring cays and sandbanks, offering calm waters ideal for world-class fishing, sailing, and scuba diving in the nearby Great Bahama Bank and Tongue of the Ocean.
Access and Utilities
The island is fully self-sufficient, powered by a sophisticated network of solar arrays distributed across the property. Regional logistics are exceptionally convenient due to its proximity to Chub Cay (west), which features a 5,000-foot airstrip and full-service marina, and Whale Cay (east), which offers a 4,000-foot paved runway.
Lifestyle and Value
Bird Cay offers a versatile lifestyle that balances off-grid authenticity with proximity to elite Bahamian amenities. Its status as a "turn-key" development opportunity, combined with its rare large acreage and protected location, makes it a premier asset for discerning investors. Whether envisioned as a secluded private retreat or a high-end glamping or resort destination, the island provides a substantial and well-advanced foundation for any commercial or private vision.
