Eleuthera
Elisa's Pyfrom's gardens in
Governor's Harbour, Eleuthera are always in bloom.
On the left as you drive down
the one-way road from the top of the hill,
Elisa's gardens are... well, in a word, spectacular. In fact,
if you are wondering why road traffic tends to slow
halfway down, the reason is tourists stopping to admire the
brilliant
colours
in the tropicals dominating the spacious grounds.
People from the whole island
know that if they can't
think of the name of that plant, Elisa can. Elisa
comes by her love of plants naturally. Her mother is one
of the Bahamas' leading horticulturalists, long a source
of the best bromeliads and palms.
Her
home... and gardens... are a work in progress, a very
beautiful one. She has created
an enchanting living space for herself from what was previously
the summer kitchen of one of the historic properties
of Governor's Harbour.
The main estate house on the property has long
since disappeared, and its old foundation is now the
domain of dozens
of varieties
of
plants, lovingly cultivated.
Elisa's family's
roots are well-set into Eleuthera soil. Coming to the island
in the early 1700's,
the Pyfrom family grew pineapples in the rich red soil, shipping
them by clipper ship to the markets of New York. As gardener
farmers, they prospered and still continue to do so as one
of the Bahamas' venerable families. The Pyfrom name
is now associated with some of
the best businesses in the Bahamas, particularly construction
and the law.
Elisa began her real estate
career with HGChristie in 1995, after moving to Eleuthera from
Nassau and a few years as a world traveler. She quickly became
known as a person who
could be depended on for definitive information about Eleuthera.
Her white truck is a familiar
sight all over Eleuthera. Chances are that if Elisa doesn't
know about a backroad, a hidden beach, or the special property
you are trying to find, it probably doesn't exist.
It's no coincidence
that Elisa is considered one of the best of the best when it
comes to
working on behalf of her client. She is very well known among
her clientele as being thorough with
detail,
never
hesitant
to speak her mind about a potential
problem, and always reliable for either having or efficiently
hunting down anything needed, plus a lot more.
Elisa says that she considers
that if a client is going to be a neighbour, then they must
be very
happy
with
their eventual choice.
And who knows, you may be lucky
enough to buy your new Eleuthera home just as her bromeliads
are ready to transplant! |
