Hi,
:
: Thanks for your inquiry about our property in Rainbow Bay. This property, which
: directly overlooks the Atlantic, is located on Twin Beach Road at Block 8, Lot
: 15. The size of this lot is 9600 sq ft.
:
: This really is a prize piece of property with great elevation and clear, fee
: simple title. It is worthy of your vacation home! We urge you to travel down
: there and see it for yourself. The reason that we feel it is so special is
: because, in our opinion, the lot directly beneath it will probably never be
: built on. Our reasoning is based on these factors the waterfront lot possesses:
: Low elevation, unstable soil and risk of weather related problems to the
: exterior and even interior of any structure built there. What this means is
: that you would probably “in essence” be obtaining your own water front property
: by purchasing our lot. We have already been contacted by a representative of
: the owner of the lot above ours whom we believe is interested in our lot for the
: exact same reason. I think his interest will increase as he gets closer to
: completing his home and starts spending more time there.
:
: We are asking $60,000, but would listen to any offer. There would be a 10%
: discount for a cash purchase, which would bring cash price down to $54,000. I
: have also worked out an amortization schedule, which would be based on a sales
: price of $60,000.00 with a down payment of 20% leaving a balance of $48,000.
: Payments would be $1149.42 per month for a period of 48 months. I will e-mail
: the complete payment schedule should you decide to take this property.
:
: Values will soar. We have recently heard about a new resort to be built on
: Eleuthera, which should increase values all over the island. An underwater
: hotel is also going to be built, which will be the finest underwater hotel in
: the world. Beyond that, the island is just beautiful and extremely peaceful.
:
: Our property overlooks the rocky beach. There is a path leading down to the
: shore. Walk time to the closest sandy beach is about 3 minutes. Wonderful
: sounds of the ocean can be heard, and scenes of the surf are dramatic. Remember
: too, that this property is at a safe elevation of between 60 and 80 feet. This
: means less maintenance. Structural decay occurs rapidly to homes that are
: constantly enduring the spray from the ocean. Even appliances must be replaced
: often. With duties, that could get to be expensive. Lastly, homes built on the
: beach are more expensive to engineer and may endure severe damage when a
: hurricane hits. This would not happen at the higher elevations.
:
: Potable water is piped in from the north. Cisterns and wells provide good
: quality water as well. Utilities are in the street. This property is located in
: a subdivision. Association fees are $60.00 per year. That is right, I said
: “per year”! Rainbow Bay is close to Surfers Beach, the best surfing in the
: Bahamas. Wonderful diving and fishing are everywhere. Bonefish, Sailfish,
: Marlin and Wahoo are just a few of the fighting fish you will find there.
: Lobster is so plentiful, it is often used as bait.
:
: There is an international airport located about 6 miles from Governor’s Harbour,
: which is less than 10 miles from our lot and is the most developed of all the
: towns or villages on the main island. Nearby is the wonderful cay called
: Harbour Island where Pink Sands Beach is located.
:
: The Bahamas attained its independence from England only about 30 years ago. As
: such it is still very young in many ways. Eleuthera is one of the most
: hauntingly beautiful of all the islands.
:
: Eleuthera means freedom.
: Eleuthera is 110 miles of white sand beaches, imposing cliffs, rolling hills and
: quaint friendly villages. At one time it was an important agricultural and dairy
: centre.
:
: Capt William Sayle and a band of Puritan pilgrims, the Eleutherian Adventurers,
: sought religious freedom when they landed on the island of Cigatoo in 1648 at
: what is now Governor's Harbour. They renamed the island Eleuthera, the Greek
: word for freedom.
:
: Fellow Puritans in the then-Colony of Massachusetts aided the adventurers in
: their struggle for survival. When the adventurers settled in and got back on
: their feet, they sent a gift of rare braziletto wood to Harvard University. At
: the time, it was the most valuable present ever received by the university.
:
: When a shipwreck ended their exploration of the north tip of the island, the
: Eleutherian Adventurers took refuge in Preacher's Cave, well worth a visit.
:
: Off the north end of Eleuthera, a short ferry ride away, are two gems.
:
: Spanish Wells is a prosperous crawfishing and fishing community. There is a
: small museum where the seafaring residents' rich heritage and culture is on
: display.
:
: Harbour Island is best known for its three-mile pink sand beach. The Harbour
: Island settlement of Dunmore Town dates back to the 18th century. It was once
: the governor's summer home, second only to Nassau in importance.
:
: Heading south from North Eleuthera you'll find a clutch of quaint villages,
: including Current, Upper Bogue and Lower Bogue. The Glass Window Bridge
: separates the Atlantic Ocean from the Bahama Banks, and North Eleuthera from
: Central Eleuthera.
:
: Gregory Town attracts world class surfers and rock star Lenny Kravitz.
: Windermere Island, off the Atlantic shore, used to be popular with the rich and
: royalty and is the subject of developer’s dreams. Governor's Harbour is the
: island's largest and busiest town, Tarpum Bay is home to the creative, artsy
: crowd, and Rock Sound offers comfortable facilities for visitors and, at one
: time, a first class golf course at Cotton Bay.
:
: A Pineapple Festival in June recalls the era when Eleuthera exported the world's
: juiciest pineapples. The pineapple still symbolizes first-class hospitality, and
: although production has faded in recent years the festival is celebrated each year.

: Sincerely,
: Daniel M. Garisek
