Anco Lands currently manages Serenity Point, a private residential community on our southern property of Schooner Bay, comprising 46 home sites on 40 acres of prime land with 815 feet of beach frontage. The boutique community is planned for a first-class beach club with an infinity pool, tennis facilities, 24-hour security, various eco-friendly features, lush indigenous landscaping, and an array of personal concierge services – all set against the backdrop of a thriving, amenity-rich harbour town at neighboring Schooner Bay Village.
Phase 1 is approved for sale and consists of 24 fully-serviced home sites; 7 are on the beach, 8 are elevated estates overlooking the coast, and 9 are hilltop vistas, with stunning dual ocean views. Phase 2 will encompass an additional 22 hillside lots surrounding a green space promenade.
Located in the narrowest southern region of Great Abaco Island, the project sits 25 miles south of Marsh Harbour on the world-class Schooner Bay Beach, offering elevations of over 65 feet and extraordinary ocean vistas to the east and west. Deemed "phenomenal" by Condé Nast Traveler Magazine, Schooner Bay Beach spans for more than 2 miles of powder soft sand, with a large bay and an elevated ridgeline.
Situated directly adjacent to Serenity Point, the 320-acre Schooner Bay Village is also in active development. The first of its kind in the Bahamas, Schooner Bay Village is planned within the historic settlement tradition, and will include a 150-slip harbour, a high-density, mixed-use village centre with restaurants, cafés and shops, boutique hotels, organic farms, a broad range of housing types, a school, medical clinic, and various resort amenities. Master planned by renowned Duany Plater-Zyberk, the development incorporates the best of new urbanist design, and will most closely resemble the popular, integrated lifestyle destinations of Hope Town on Elbow Cay or Dunmore Town on Harbour Island. Approximately $100 million has been spent on the development thus far, with the harbour completed, 40 homes and two boutique hotels with restaurants built, and construction on a wide range of amenities, including a sports complex, beach club with pool, and 15,000 square foot club house with restaurant, spa and gym is underway or planned.

Approximately two miles north of the property, The Delphi Lodge, an exclusive fishing lodge set on a five-acre site at Rolling Harbour, has been in operation for five years. (visit website).
Th Abaco Club at Winding Bay is situated 15 miles further north on 534 acres, and features a top-rated tropical links golf course as well as most of the standard amenities of a major conventional resort development, such as a clubhouse, health spa, and equestrian center. This upscale project opened in 2004, pioneering larger-scale development in the South Abaco region (visit website). It was acquired by Southworth Development in December of 2014, and additional development, including a new marina, is ongoing.
The town of Sandy Point is roughly 18 miles to the southwest and is served by a paved 4,500 foot Air Strip (currently facilitating the Schooner Bay Village development’s private air service). The Sandy Point marina also provides regular ferry service to Nassau (more info).
