Christopher Columbus discovered an island with outstanding beaches when he landed on San Salvador,
in the Bahamas. The stunning island San Salvador is today renowned for its sensational beaches, relaxing lifestyle – and luxury beachside real estate, too!
As The Bahamas tourism website says, “The beaches on San Salvador are secluded by definition, with powdery white sand and azure waters. Among them, Grotto Beach at Sandy Point, Bonefish Bay Beach, and Snow Beach are traveler favourites.”
So, why not enjoy the best of both worlds by living by the beach near Sandy Point at this amazing two- bedroom Sandcliff Avenue beach villa with spacious grounds totaling 1.61-acres? It is on the market for $650,000. As Alex Jupp, Real Estate Advisor for Engel & Völkers Bahamas, says, “No one can build next to you. The beach is all yours straight up to the tip of Sandy Point and you are still in close proximity to the necessary conveniences for everyday life.”
TripAdvisor contributors praise Sandy Point: “San Salvador island is the most incredible place in the world. Sandy Point has incredible ocean views and is jaw-dropping”. They say, “This spot is so beautiful it takes your breath” and “This is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.” The 2,764 square foot single-family beach villa and grounds encompass 200-feet of beautiful beach and comes with a 16-foot Boston Whaler from which you can explore the water.
The Bahamas tourism website says, “A boat is your key to untold beauty” when exploring San Salvador. The Sandcliff Avenue property includes housing for the boat. Fantastic coastal views can be enjoyed from every angle in the open-plan beach villa, where the kitchen, living room, and dining room flow together. A storage room attached to a workshop can be converted into a third bedroom or office. The garden has a freshwater tank and drip system. There are a large well and a new 16kw Generac generator.
San Salvador also includes more than 50 prominent dive sites including reefs, wrecks, and ruins. When it comes to fishing, record-breaking catches of blue marlin, wahoo, kingfish, and tuna have been made in the island’s deep blue waters.
Most scholars believe that Columbus landed in 1492 on what was then called Guanahani but since became Watling’s Island and then San Salvador. A stone cross on Long Bay marks the landing area.
