French Leave Eleuthera Bahamas
“The developers of French Leave chose Damianos Sotheby’s International Realty due to our ongoing pursuit of their development and Sothebys’ international brand recognition and worldwide affiliation. We have been a great supporter of French Leave from the start and now that it’s a reality we’re even more convinced of its success given the quality of the development.”
Thus far, $10 million of an expected $14 million investment has been allocated towards the development of the first phase French Leave Harbour Village: a total of 30 single and detached one-and-two-bedroom villas and bungalows each with access to the following resort amenities: a private beach club on French Leave Beach to the east, a full-service marina to the west, as well as the “1648” bar & grille, a pool, fitness center, a special events lawn, and a wedding Pavilion. Hussey says of the development,
“French Leave offers the discerning buyer the luxury of owning an authentic Bahamian villa that is highly polished, beautifully finished and situated in the idyllic locale of Governors Harbour. As an owner you will have access to a full management service team who will cater to your every need and secure your investment. Owners will have the option of having both the Harbour to enjoy and likewise the #1 beach in the Bahamas at their door-step, the later reachable via a golf-buggy which is sold with each villa. Also as an amenity of the resort, owners will have the opportunity to place the villas into a professionally managed voluntary hotel rental program.”

All structures respect the understated elegance of the surrounding historic Governor’s Harbour architecture in both style and scale.
