Lucaya Gardens was a project of passion for developer and now resident Geoff Gordon. His long term plan was to have a winter retreat from the cold temperatures of Great Britain and to provide long term for his family who also reside year round. With just seven units within the complex, you can count on there being peace and tranquility each time you visit. There are only two units left at present, each of which have an amazing view of the waterway from their huge patio oriented in a way that will suit your requirements, whatever you desire.
Lucaya Gardens is a beautiful three-storey condominium situated on the centrally located Bell Channel canal system in Lucaya, a quiet and growing suburb of Freeport, Grand Bahama, in the northwest Bahamas.
★ Exclusive Interior
Influenced by the European connection, the interior styling is tailored around a contemporary design with injections of bright colours to bring a touch of vibrance to the canvas of the white washed walls which, along with lofty ceilings, add great depth of space.
★ Waterfront View
A key feature of Lucaya Gardens is it’s location on the water. Nothing can beat the sense of relaxation that the water can create. Sat basking in the evening sun with cold beverage watching the boats amble by just exudes what being in the Bahamas is all about.
★ Lush Tropical Gardens
With many species and many colours, the gardens are aimed to once again give that feeling of tropical relaxation with the sight and smells of all kinds of wonderful blooms.
★ Boating Dock
Diving, fishing and a number sporting activities are all a daily part of being in this truly magnificent place. Each unit has the added bonus of its own boat dock opposite your condo so that you can be on the water in minutes.
★ Crystal Clear Swimming Pool
After a long hot day at the beach there is nothing more inviting than taking a nice cool dip in the clear blue swimming pool. This salt santized pool has a less harsh effect on the water, making it feel softer and clearer than regular chlorine based pool.
★ Well Equipped
An advanced infrastructure utilising Cat-6e data cabling, low-voltage mood lighting, energy saving exterior lighting and insulated concrete forms are all part of your investment.
Just a short ferry ride away from the bustling restaurants and shopping of Port Lucaya Marketplace, a five minute walk from a world-class beach, or a two-minute boat ride to the open ocean, Lucaya Gardens is the perfect combination of convenience, privacy, luxury and value.
Lucaya Gardens is comprised of six luxury condominiums available for purchase or short-term rental. It is a meticulously constructed facility boasting a pool, docking facilities, and quiet, relaxing grounds that give you the experience of a resort and the privacy of your own home.
It is the ideal choice for those seeking a lasting investment, providing the benefits of a seasonal escape or a place to settle. Lucaya Gardens can be your own slice of paradise.
Advanced Construction Method
When building Lucaya Gardens, there were two criteria that had to be met over and above all, quality and strength, both very important to the success of this build. Below is some specification information so that you can understand the measures taken to ensure that this building will withstand even the harshest weather that ‘mother nature’ can dish out.
48 concrete piles 2’ into the bedrock
18” concrete beams (as opposed to the standard 6”)
ICF (insulated concrete form) wall system, 2 1⁄2” of polystyrene inside and out filled with 6” of concrete
ICF floor system, 3” fibermesh concrete poured on top of 12” of polystyrene insulation with a formed reinforced concrete beam every 32” and 14 gauge steel joists every 16”
Hurricane specification windows and doors with multi point locking system
Steel stud framing to combat warping walls and insect damage
Very few flammable materials to prevent the chance of a fire
ICF reduces cost of cooling/warming the units
ICF proven to be good for asthma and allergy sufferers
British built construction with 35 years of experience
Insight into Insulated Concrete Form (ICF)
ICF is a system of formwork which incorporates dry stacked interlocking polystyrene blocks, reinforced steel bars and concrete which is poured into the cavity (6” in this case) which creates a much stronger structure than a wood framed build. After concrete has cured the forms are left in place as this polystyrene barrier (inside and outside the concrete) acts as thermal and acoustic insulation for the building. Also each of the blocks has an ultra strong plastic ‘web’ fixing point at 6” intervals for attaching siding on the outside and drywall and fixtures and fittings internally.
Benefits of ICF compared to conventional build methods include:
Quiet and energy efficient
Reduces air leaks, retaining heating or cooling inside
Structural integrity against forces of nature
Insect resistance
Longevity of materials, little degradation
Reduces HVAC operating costs
Higher resale value
