Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Governor's Harbour
I bought Tir Na N'og in 2007, and had it renovated and decorated by renowned interior designer and author of the book "Island Living", David Flint Wood. The 10 acre estate is situated on an old plantation, and its heritage is reflected in the all of the buildings and furnishings.
Eleuthera means "freedom" in Greek, and this Island which has managed to escape the mass development which has occurred in most of the Bahamas, really does give you a sense of relief.
