Eleuthera’s Most Exciting New Real Estate Comes With Marina Living, Private Oceanfront, and Turnkey Design

Along the Exuma Sound side of South Eleuthera, the shoreline runs clean and open, with long sightlines across deep blue water and wide spacing between homes. Powell Pointe follows that same pattern, a stretch of coast defined by low density and direct exposure to the ocean. Within that setting, a new villa offering at Cape Eleuthera is entering the market, pairing beachfront frontage with one of the island’s most established private residential communities.

The property, known as Villa B2 at Powell Pointe, is a newly built four-bedroom, four-bathroom residence totaling 2,931 square feet, with completion scheduled for late 2026. It is part of a small collection of homes positioned directly along the water’s edge on the southern side of the island.

A Two-Level Residence With Open Ocean Orientation

The home is arranged across two levels, with the primary suite facing Exuma Sound. That suite includes an en-suite bath, walk-in closet, and a private balcony that extends outward toward the water.

The main level centers on shared living and dining areas that connect to a covered veranda, creating a direct transition between interior and exterior living. Above, an additional ocean-facing deck adds a second elevated outdoor area. A secondary primary bedroom with en-suite bath — which could also serve as an office or den — and another bedroom with en-suite bath round out the main level.

Natural light is a consistent element throughout the home, with large windows placed to maintain clear sightlines toward the water. The kitchen is designed as a central gathering point, with solid-surface countertops and a full appliance package.

Construction uses concrete block and a metal roof, materials widely used for coastal homes in the Bahamas due to their durability in salt-air conditions.

Pool, Patio, and Direct Beach Access

The exterior includes a 20-by-10-foot private pool set alongside a sun patio, providing a defined outdoor gathering area. A dune walkway leads from the home directly to the beach, creating a clear connection between the property and the shoreline, steps away from the villa.

Additional features include a separate structure to accommodate a two-stall garage with storage and space for a golf cart, reflecting how residents typically navigate the Cape Eleuthera community, and upper-level guest quarters, including living area, kitchenette, bedroom, bathroom, and sitting balcony to enjoy the Cape Marina activity. There is also the option for shared dock use, subject to final arrangements, which would add boating capability directly tied to the property.

Part of the Cape Eleuthera Community

Villa B2 sits within Cape Eleuthera, a long-established residential and marina community on the southern end of the island. The development combines private homes with a full-service marina, dining venues, and recreational offerings centered on the surrounding waters.

The marina is a central feature, drawing both resident boat owners and visiting vessels, and providing a base for offshore fishing, diving, and access to nearby cays. Restaurants and casual gathering spots within the community serve both residents and marina traffic, creating a steady level of activity without high-density development.

Cape Eleuthera also benefits from its proximity to the island’s main arrival point, while North Eleuthera handles regional service.

Positioning Within the Eleuthera Market

Eleuthera has long attracted buyers looking for privacy and water proximity without the density found in larger Bahamian markets. Within that context, Cape Eleuthera offers a combination of residential ownership and marina-based living that appeals to buyers focused on boating and outdoor use.

Powell Pointe, where the villa is located, is one of the quieter sections of the community, with homes spaced along the shoreline rather than clustered around the marina.

New construction inventory on the island remains limited, which places properties like Villa B2 in a smaller segment of the market. The defined completion timeline provides clarity for buyers seeking a move-in-ready home within the next development cycle.

What Defines Cape Eleuthera: Size, Water, and Range

Cape Eleuthera stretches across roughly 4,500 acres at the southern end of the island, and that footprint shapes the entire experience. This isn’t a single concentrated resort core — it’s a broad peninsula with miles of shoreline, internal roads, and distinct residential pockets set across open land.

That size shows up immediately once you’re inside the property. You drive past long sections of coastline, pockets of beach, and elevated points where the water comes into view on either side. In several areas, the land narrows enough that you can see Exuma Sound on one side and the Caribbean-facing shallows on the other, a contrast that defines this part of Eleuthera.

The water is central to everything here. On the Sound side, it drops off quickly into deep blue, drawing boaters, divers, and anglers heading offshore. On the opposite side, the conditions shift to lighter, calmer water over sandbanks. That dual exposure gives residents a wider range of daily use, from open-water runs to shorter, protected outings closer to shore.

The marina anchors the property, serving as both an operational hub and a social center. Boats arrive and depart throughout the day, and from there, routes extend outward to nearby cays, reefs, and fishing grounds. For owners, it becomes part of the routine — leaving the dock in the morning, returning in the afternoon, and spending time along the waterfront in between.

The scale of the property allows for separation between homes while preserving connection to the rest of the community.

What defines Cape Eleuthera, ultimately, is that combination of expanse and variety. You’re not limited to a single beach, a single view, or a single activity. The property covers enough ground — and enough coastline — to support different ways of using it, whether that’s boating, fishing, exploring, or simply spending time along the water in a more private setting.

A Property Defined by Its Location

Ownership here tends to center on time spent outdoors — on the water, at the marina, or along the beach just beyond the property. That’s how the villa is designed.

For buyers considering Eleuthera, the combination of a newly built residence, beachfront positioning, and inclusion within Cape Eleuthera’s established community places this offering in a distinct category within the Bahamas’ residential landscape.

Why South Eleuthera Is Gaining Attention

South Eleuthera is entering a new phase, driven by a wave of high-end development that is reshaping how buyers view this part of the island. The most significant of these is the forthcoming Ritz-Carlton Reserve at Cotton Bay, a large-scale redevelopment that will introduce branded residences, a resort hotel, golf, and full-service amenities. Projects at that level are limited globally, and their arrival tends to recalibrate an entire region.

Nearby, Jack’s Bay continues to expand its own residential and club offering, anchored by a Tiger Woods–designed golf course and a growing base of homeowners. Together, these developments are bringing new capital, new buyers, and sustained international attention to South Eleuthera.

Within that shift, Cape Eleuthera holds a distinct position. It is already built and operational, with an established marina, completed homes, and an active residential community. That places it ahead of the development timeline while still directly benefiting from the broader investment now taking shape across the southern end of the island.

For buyers, that combination — existing infrastructure within a region seeing major new luxury development — adds another layer to how properties here are evaluated today.
