Stargazer on Great Camanoe: A Breathtaking Island Retreat with Panoramic Views and Timeless Serenity

Experience the unparalleled beauty of Stargazer at Privateer’s Bay Estates on Great Camanoe, where breathtaking views greet you at every hour of the day. From radiant sunrises over the horizon to mesmerizing sunsets painted across the sky, and the endless constellations sparkling above on clear nights, Stargazer offers an escape from the everyday hustle. Great Camanoe is a completely residential island that has no shops, restaurants or business, just lots of peace and tranquility. After many years of serving as a site for sugar, cotton, and indigo plantations in the 1800's, the island was uninhabited until about fifty years ago when two small communities of residential, mostly vacation, homes were begun. Some interesting ruins and gravesites still remain from the past. Surrounded by expansive covered lounges and open-air dining decks, this newly renovated haven maximizes panoramic island views with impressive 7-foot high, 10-to-20-foot wide sliding glass doors. The spacious great room seamlessly integrates living, dining, and lounging areas, all oriented to capture the beauty of the surrounding islands. This serene retreat features three private master suites, each offering a tranquil space to unwind. Two suites are situated within the main residence, while the third is housed in a standalone guest cottage just steps away along a charming stone path, providing both privacy and accessibility.

The dynamic horizon, bustling with yachts and vessels navigating the archipelago, offers an ever-changing spectacle. Originally built by renowned American astronomer Fred Whipple, Stargazer was thoughtfully placed on a gentle bluff to take full advantage of its panoramic surroundings. Reconstructed after Hurricane Irma, the home now boasts a fortified roof with soaring cathedral ceilings made from heavy-duty pressure-treated pine rafters and beams, topped with durable galvalume metal roofing. Hurricane-resistant glass doors and windows ensure uninterrupted views while providing security against the elements. Embrace the tranquility of outer island living without sacrificing convenience. Stargazer is just a short boat ride from the mainland, with easy access to Beef Island’s shops, airport, ferry terminal, and restaurants. Many residents keep boats on trailers in the communal storage area near Privateer’s dock, with mechanics readily available for assistance. Residents also enjoy access to a communal library, book exchange, and a shaded lounge area near the dock. The short 15-20 minute boat trip from Beef Island Airport to your private retreat is seamless, making Stargazer the perfect getaway for both seasoned sailors and young adventurers. Families cherish the timeless memories created here, often passing down their properties through generations. Stargazer isn’t just a home—it’s a legacy of serenity and adventure, waiting to be yours.
