About The Boathouse
Paradise Awaits!!
The Boathouse is a 2 story building. The ground floor is a 24x40 open garage, with 12' ceilings. Perfect for our 17ft boat with T-Top, plus 2 cars. A workshop, storage areas, and the mechanicals are also located here. The base contains a 12,000 gallon Cistern for rain catchment. Outdoor shower, Laundry room, gardens and a patio are also on the grounds.. The 2nd floor houses a 2 bedroom 1 bath living unit, complete with covered porch, sun deck and full kitchen. Sea views and fresh breezes from the deck and many of the windows.
This .6 acre lot has room to expand, and is landscaped with natural plants, fruit trees and low maintenance grounds. This lot has an elevation of 11 ft above the Mean High Tide line, which has protected us from any storm surges over the last 20 plus years. Constructed with 2x6 and 6x6 pressure treated timber, clad with HardiBoard siding, fitted with Bahama shutters, Cypress ceilings and tile floors. In addition to the 12000 gallon cistern, 'city water' lines have been run and can be hooked up with just one phone call. Conduit is also run from the road to the home if phone or cable lines are needed. Starlink satellite currently being used along with BTC local cell phone for service.
This is a custom built home, finished in 2016 and well maintained. All systems are checked yearly. Ceiling fans are in each room, there is a split system AC in the living area and a window AC currently in the West facing bedroom. The East facing bedroom catches all the fresh breezes. The bathroom features a walk-in shower and built-in cabinet. There is plenty of storage in this house for all your needs.
The Boathouse is located in the desirable Sunset Beach neighborhood in Wemyss (Moris Settlement) approximately 12 miles from Stella Maris, 8 miles from Salt Pond and 22 miles from Deadman's Cay. A 5 minute walk along the gravel (and well maintained) road takes you to a 2.5 mile crescent beach, with sandy approaches to the shallow calm waters of the leeward side of the island and Exuma Sound. With Georgetown Exuma just 35 miles to the West you can enjoy a boat ride for day trips, lunch outings and stops at endless sandbars. Bonefish can be spotted just off the beach. It's the perfect spot for a leisurely kayak ride, or an afternoon soak. This neighborhood is home to both locals and 2nd Homeowners with about 15 homes. The most crowded you will find the beach is during the winter season, when you may encounter 6-8 others enjoying the sun and sea. The neighbors are friendly, from all walks of life, and look out for each other.
