KettleStone Luxury Villa - シーサイドプールとドックを備えたユニークなプライベートオーシャンフロント

KettleStone is the brainchild of Michael Hornby, a former resident of Ontario, Canada, who fell in love with Andros Island during a diving vacation in 1988. In 1997, driven by his passion for scuba diving and a desire for a simpler lifestyle, Michael took a leap of faith and moved to the Bahamas. Today, he resides on Andros Island, where he consults for a local all-inclusive resort and manages KettleStone. With a wealth of experience in the hospitality industry, Michael enjoys engaging in activities like Blue Hole cave diving, deep wall diving, and holds licenses as a private pilot and boat captain. Throughout his 26 years on Andros Island, Michael has developed a genuine appreciation for the island's unassuming beauty and the warmth of its local community. Motivated by his vision, Michael set out to create KettleStone, a luxurious home that seamlessly blends with the island's natural surroundings while embodying meticulous attention to detail. His aim was to provide a haven of relaxed elegance, inviting others to revel in the splendor of the environment. Today, KettleStone stands as a testament to Michael's unwavering dedication to his vision.

Nestled on a one-acre parcel, KettleStone Villa was meticulously chosen after years of local island research and a stroke of fortunate timing, which presented an opportunity to secure an ideal piece of untouched land for construction. Preserving the natural flora was a top priority, and the land was thoughtfully cleared by hand to protect the existing mature growth. Conveniently located just minutes away from amenities and an international airport, KettleStone Villa is easily accessible with a short one-hour flight from Florida. Situated merely five minutes from a port of entry marina, the location is perfectly positioned within a barrier island chain, overlooking a shallow lagoon. With an elevation that allows for panoramic views and refreshing breezes, KettleStone found its ideal beginning.

KettleStone was meticulously crafted with great attention to detail.
