One doesn’t often hear of a six-bedroom estate that sits under seven roofs. Villa Sul Mare off Nassau, the Bahamas, makes the most of its acre location along the waterfront by spreading out the living spaces within a lush green setting.
Located on the aptly named Paradise Island, the property plays to its tropical locale with plantings of stately palms, natural flora and a lily pond.
