Introducing Le Rochefort, a 1.2 acre elevated European-styled estate located in the prestigious gated golf course community of Lyford Cay in The Bahamas. Featuring 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, this grand home encompasses 9,606 square feet of interior and covered exterior living space. Positioned on one of the highest elevations in the 1,000-plus acre gated community and complementing its regal Renaissance architectural style, Le Rochefort offers panoramic views toward the Lyford Cay marina and ocean beyond. The home boasts exquisite design details, including arched doorways, paneled wainscoting, and some of the finest examples of Corinthian columns you will find in any home in the Bahamas. Each of the main living rooms boasts unique 12-foot ceilings and complementing recessed lighting. Set on 1.2 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, the estate overflows with tropical palms, ferns, planters, and orchids. Accessed by a grand exterior staircase or an elevator located in the bougainvillea draped 3-car garage, Le Rochefort is a single-story home with a picturesque courtyard at its center. As you step inside, you’re met with magnificent millwork, a theme that continues throughout. Beyond the foyer, the grand great room, measuring 24 x 40 feet, opens to a covered outdoor terrace and winged staircase that flows to a 40 foot lap pool and jacuzzi below. Cleverly configured, the East wing boasts three bedrooms. The spacious master offers "his" and "hers" sinks, a large walk-in closet, and opens onto a covered private terrace that leads to wrap around gardens. Two additional en-suite bedrooms are connected by a room that would make a cozy den or children’s playroom. Tucked to the South, well out of earshot of the multiple entertaining spaces, the guest wing features a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and a separate living room. Additionally, the estate features a full catering kitchen, a formal dining room, a drawing room with a wet bar, a large private study, a pool house with wet bar, a separate staff cottage, and a standby generator. The estate was most lately occupied by Prince Pignatelli Aragona Cortes, a direct descendant of the Marquis de Lafayette and of the family of the 17th century Pope Innocent XII, connecting it to a rich history.
