by Roxanne Hughes

Located within the exclusive Ocean Club Estate and within easy reach of Nassau city, Paradise Beach, and the world-famous Atlantis Resort, ‘Sundara’ is an eight-bedroom residence set across two impeccably manicured plots that total over 48,000sq.ft and offer 236ft of private canal frontage.
A private driveway leads to the property, which marries Bahamian Colonial style with a timeless, European sophistication. Sundara was designed by Bridges, Marsh & Associates of Palm Beach, Florida, and boasts over 19,500sq.ft of living space.
A grand entranceway leads you into a regal reception room with soaring 22-foot-high cypress coffered ceilings and views out across the terrace and private waterway. The room, which has an adjacent library, divides the interior arrangement into east and west wings. The west wing of the property is for entertainment, with a billiards and games room, full bar, TV lounge, and guest bathroom. The east wing houses a temperature-controlled, walk-in wine cellar, a designer kitchen that’s as perfect for informal family dining as it is large-scale dinners and parties, two formal dining rooms, family lounge, playroom, and a study with floor-to-ceiling glass and an outlook to the gardens.
Ascending to the first floor with its elegant gallery landing, brings
you to five en suite bedrooms and an exterior terrace that enjoys exceptional views across the canal basin and towards Nassau Harbour. The interior finishes and features of this exquisite home include Coquina and Travertine stone, wood floors, custom cabinetry, two fireplaces, and it’s equipped with Tishler hurricane impact windows and mahogany doors.
Three further en suite bedrooms and an open-plan kitchen/living room, are found in the gatehouse cottage – perfect for accommodating guests or live-in staff.
Outside is where the Sundara house really sets itself apart, with a swimming pool, pool pavilion, Jacuzzi spa, day beds and an exterior bathroom. There’s a full outdoor kitchen and barbeque, and an inviting alfresco dining area with retractable awning.
The property’s prestigious location on the Ocean Club Estate affords its owners a 24-hour security patrol, the option of membership at the Tom Weiskopf-designed golf course and Club House, eligibility to join the Ocean Club Residences Marina & Yacht Club, use of the Beach Club, and access to all the facilities at both the Atlantis Resort and the Four Seasons Ocean Club.
Sundara is listed for sale at an asking price of $24,950,000.
