French Leave, Eleuthera

With its magnificent coral reefs, brilliant turquoise waters, pink-sand beaches and graceful palm trees this unique enclave affords stunning vistas of the Atlantic Ocean. More than 260 tropical acres of lush vegetation and consummately landscaped open spaces are the basis for some truly beautiful sites. And with only a limited selection to choose from, density will never be an issue.

Individual home designs will emphasize open-air architecture that reflects the indoor/outdoor island lifestyle and Eleuthera's colonial flavor--think deep verandas with slow-moving ceiling fans and balconies that look out on the sea.



Overlooking historic Cupid's Cay on the Caribbean Sea, French Leave Marina Village is poised to become the first-ever, full-service marina at Governor's Harbour with its newly designed breakwater.

French Leave was originally acquired and named in 1938 by Count Alfred de Marigny who, after being acquitted of murdering his father-in-law, was banished from the Bahamas five years later and forced to sell his island paradise.

Unavailable and unattainable for over forty years, French Leave will soon be rediscovered by those wishing not to follow the crowd. That's why they sell T-shirts on the island that state: "Eleuthera, it's not for everyone."
