The Albany House- A Six Star Plantation in the Spirit of Old Nassau

The Albany House has been described by those who know as “a six-stars retreat"... "a place of exceptional tranquility and beauty”... and we can believe it, because the home has achieved a special status among celebrities.

Not surprisingly, stars such as Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Mariah Carey, and several other personalities have treated The Albany House as their exclusive private Bahamian hideaway. Far away from prying camera and indiscrete eyes, they have been thoroughly pampered by a staff experienced in caring for every need.

Looking out over a shallow sea which varies in color from transparent blue to turquoise with its own tranquil and private beach,The Albany House is an undisputable jewel of the Bahamas.

Located on New Providence, the capital island of the Bahamas, The Albany House is the largest and most private residential estate on the island. The main house is sequestered in the heart of a beautifully landscaped and walled park of nineteen acres. The estate is bordered on the south side by over one thousand feet of long tranquil and exclusive sand beach.

The Albany House was crafted fifteen years ago under the watchful eye of master architect John Darville in the spirit of the Bahamian Great Houses of the last century. The house was again recently renovated to exceptionally high standards of decor and workmanship.

The estate was conceived as a leisure paradise, and includes all imaginable sports under the beautiful Bahamas skies, from tennis, gymnastics, volleyball, cycling to a wide variety of water sports.

An absolutely sun-soaked pristine beach beckons from verandahs off the living room and dining room, offering incredible ocean views.

Further along the private estate beach is an award-winning octagonal beach house with gym, bar, powder room and guest showers.

The main house and guest cottages are comprised of seven bedrooms with ensuite baths including separate his-and-her bathrooms, with exquisite marble walls and floors and exceptionally fine fixtures.

A large airy, sunny foyer accesses the sixteen hundred square foot living room, formal dining room, sitting room and library all leading to the state-of-the-art home theatre and music center.

The Albany House is entirely gated with no neighbouring visual intrusion and includes extensive interior and ground lighting, security surveillance and inter-communication system.

But perhaps the most inviting feature of this exclusive retreat is its relaxing ambiance. Indeed, under the light breeze and soft rhythm of the Bahamian sea, there, pampered by a team of very qualified staff, time passes differently.

The professional kitchen and staff quarters are housed in separate detached buildings affording complete privacy when desired.

Combining the best of all worlds, The Albany House is definitely a truly unforgettable world-class experience in luxurious tropical lifestyle.

 

Additional Features of Note:

Some amenities stand out in the other features too numerous to list. They include two large heated pools, tennis pavilion, volleyball courts, two jetties with gazebos.

The Albany House estate lends itself to further development and is ideal for a private club facility, exclusive resort and secluded private estate.
