Blue Marlin Cove Resort & Marina in Grand Bahama has been listed at $13.5 million and is scheduled to sell through an online auction in March.
Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions is handling the sale in cooperation with Christopher and Vanessa Ansell of The Ansell Group with Bahamas Sotheby’s International Realty. Bidding will open on 18 March and conclude on 25 March via the firm’s online marketplace.
The offering centres on a freehold deep-water marina located on the western tip of Grand Bahama. The marina provides direct ocean access through a channel for vessels of up to 100ft (30 metres). It currently includes 20 of the 30 existing slips, with infrastructure in place to add approximately 15 or more perimeter berths, bringing the total potential capacity to more than 45 slips.
The sale also includes 20 fully finished condominium residences within a 30-unit resort. The residences are designed for full-time living, vacation use or short-term rental.
On-site amenities include a swimming pool with a Jacuzzi spa, a tiki bar and restaurant, outdoor kitchen areas, communal lounges, family recreation spaces, on-site management and security, and a caretaker’s cottage.
Three oceanfront development parcels are included in the offering, along with a fourth parcel designated for a yacht fuel station. The property also holds waterfront and canal frontage, as well as majority declarant rights within the homeowners’ association.
