Marsh Harbour, The Bahamas

Perched on a private 53 acre island off Great Abaco in The Bahamas, the two-to-six-bedroom Residences at Montage Cay represent a rare opportunity to own a fully furnished, turnkey home within an ultra luxury private island resort setting.

Each branded residence is conceived in the spirit of refined Bahamian living, marrying contemporary architecture with local vernacular influences. Floor to ceiling glass, vaulted ceilings, expansive terraces and outdoor living areas, private pools, lush gardens and direct beach access combine to give every home a seamless indoor–outdoor ambience with sweeping views over the Sea of Abaco.

The development is organised into seven private enclaves, each with its own discreet beach frontage, offering both community connection and personal retreat.

Residences are offered with two to six plus bedrooms, spanning from approximately 214 sqm (2,300 sq ft) up to more than 557 sqm (6,000 sq ft).

Prices vary depending on plot size, location, property type, elevation and fit out.

Architectural & Environmental Integrity

Montage Cay has been developed with respect for the island ecosystem. The design emphasises minimal environmental intrusion, preservation of natural corridors, and responsibly conceived infrastructure (underground utilities, native landscaping, sustainable practices).

At the heart of the project is a philosophy of low visual impact, gently graded elevations to respect views, and siting that honours both sea and land orientations.

Ownership & Lifestyle Benefits

Owning a Residence at Montage Cay brings not only a private home but access to an integrated resort lifestyle, delivered with full service and discretion.

Included privileges and services typically encompass:

• Dedicated residential staff, concierge, on site security, maintenance and property management
• Seamless billing and signing privileges for resort services
• Priority access and reservations for spa, dining and activity programmes
• Full use of resort amenities: Spa Montage, fitness centre, resort pools, tennis, pickleball, children’s programmes (Paintbox), and curated excursions across the Abacos
• Optional inclusion in a rental management programme (should the owner wish to leverage their residence when not in use)
• Marina membership opportunities: a 46 slip deep water marina accommodating yachts up to 33.5 metres (110 feet)
• The island’s design philosophy emphasises discretion and immersion in nature; residents enjoy expansive vistas, whisper quiet evenings, and panoramic exposures to sea and sky

Access & Arrival

Though the island evokes total seclusion, it remains remarkably accessible. Montage Cay lies just off Marsh Harbour (Great Abaco), and owners and guests may arrive via:

• Seaplane or helicopter transfers
• Private ferry or boat (a short water transfer from Marsh Harbour, typically eight to ten minutes)
• Yacht arrival via the deep water marina (slips up to 33.5 metres | 110 feet)

Marsh Harbour is served by commercial flights from Nassau and other Bahamian gateways and may also receive private or charter aircraft.

In The Bahamas there is no personal income tax, capital gains tax, capital transfer tax or estate/inheritance tax. Purchasers investing more than $1,000,000 USD in Bahamas real estate are eligible to apply for permanent residency.
