Russell Island Waterfront Home Russell Island, SW Bahamas

Russell Island Waterfront Home

Situated on two oceanfront lots on Russell Island, Eleuthera, this extraordinary residence is set high above the sea, with elevations ranging from approximately 40 to 60 feet above sea level. The terraced grounds are naturally landscaped with native tropical trees and plants, creating a private, serene setting that feels both intentional and organic. The outdoor spaces are truly magical, with meandering pathways, a tranquil koi pond, and multiple decks designed for lounging and outdoor living. Stone steps lead down to the ocean’s edge, where a gazebo offers a peaceful retreat beside the water. An 8' x 60' private dock extends into the sea, complete with a bench for relaxing and a ladder for easy access to swimming, snorkeling, or paddleboarding. Along the shoreline, a striking and rare natural rock formation adds a dramatic and unforgettable element to this unique coastal setting. The home itself spans three thoughtfully designed levels. The ground level features a garage and utility space. The main living level is expansive and open, with a living room, kitchen, and dining area flowing seamlessly together and opening onto decks on both sides of the home. This level also includes a cozy television room and a spacious primary suite with a private wooden deck overlooking the ocean. The third floor offers a sitting area that looks down over the living space below, along with two guest bedrooms, each featuring cantilevered wooden decks and sharing a well-appointed bathroom. The main living area is a standout, with exposed wooden rafter roof framing and soaring ceilings rising approximately 20 feet, creating an inviting yet dramatic space ideal for relaxing while taking in panoramic ocean views. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room, complemented by custom mahogany-trimmed built-ins and commercial-grade sliding glass doors that frame the sea beyond. The residence is perfectly oriented to capture onshore sea breezes and uninterrupted ocean vistas, along with breathtaking sunrises, moonrises, and expansive night skies. Additional features include an 8-kilowatt generator and hurricane shutters, providing comfort and peace of mind. This is a rare opportunity to own a private oceanfront retreat that seamlessly blends natural beauty, thoughtful design, and elevated island living.
