An exquisite Georgian estate once known to Hollywood’s elite as a lavish party hub, set on two of the most lush and private acres at the coveted western end of Nassau’s Paradise Island in The Bahamas, will sell at auction next month through leading luxury firm Concierge Auctions. Truly a beachfront estate, Kilkee House is a hidden oasis perched on a private stretch of sugar-sand beach along its northern edge, with more than 200 feet of harbor frontage along the southern edge. The property spans the full depth of Paradise Island, from the beach to the harbor. It once entertained the likes of The Rat Pack and The Beatles in the 1960s.
Only three owners in 60 years have had the privilege to own Kilkee House, including acclaimed thespian Sir Richard Harris and its original creator, an infamous A&P millionaire. Lovingly restored and embellished by its current owners, Kilkee House has been stylishly updated with great respect to its history. Its luxurious master suite includes a spa-inspired bath and
grand dressing rooms, and the four additional bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms. The property also offers multiple living rooms, a formal dining room that opens to a private patio and seats 18 people, and independent staff quarters.
Breezy loggias encourage outdoor dining year-round, with a variety of seating options for maximum entertainment possibilities. Outdoor features also include multiple gardens, a stone pool grotto with a spa, a poolside guest cottage with a private terrace and an oceanfront ramp for utility vehicles, which provides land access from the house to island amenities – a marina with a harbor-side gazebo; state-of-the-art dockage with power, water, an outdoor kitchen and lounge area;
and six slips for various-sized boats. The end of the dock can also support a yacht of up to 150 feet.
Paradise Island offers its visitors and inhabitants alike breathtaking views, crystal clear turquoise waters, pristine white sand beaches and gorgeous temperatures year-round. Renowned resorts including Atlantis Resort & Casino, The Cove and The One&Only Ocean Club offer ample opportunities to enjoy world-class golf, yachting, swimming with dolphins, diving and snorkeling, five-star beachfront restaurants, spas, luxury boutiques and an alluring nightlife.
Previously offered for $18.925 million, Kilkee House will sell at or above $10 million in cooperation with Lamond and Robyn Davis of Sterling Bahamas Realty.
