Buy Princess Diana's Bahamas Vacation Home

Princess Diana’s Bahamas beach house is up for sale, with a pool, five bedrooms, a terrace and 180 feet of private white-sand frontage. This was where she vacationed at Casuarina Beach in 1993 with her sons William and Harry. Now the property in Lyford Cay is up for sale for $12.5 million, through Christie's International Real Estate, the property arm of the fine art auction house.

Ken Wharfe, the princess's royal protection officer for six years described Casuarina Beach as "a development that afforded a great deal of privacy, being part of a huge luxury complex, privately policed and spotlessly maintained” and "The house itself had a magnificent swimming pool," while "the beach was less than 50 yards away. "

The Casuarina Beach property, long owned by the Menzies family, was designed in 1969 by mid-century modernist architect Robertson "Happy" Ward. It was refurbished in 2009 and has close to 5,000 square feet of interior space.
