Rocamar is an elegant ridge top estate situated on 3 lots spanning just over 1.46 acres of landscaped gardens with an additional 1.15 acres of leasehold land overlooking the manicured golf course in the exclusive gated community of Lyford Cay. The property features six main bedrooms as well as three staff rooms spread over five buildings totaling 13,213.17 square feet. The property had extensive renovations in the early 90s with decorating overseen by Juan Pablo Molyneux and featured in Architectural Digest’s July 1992 issue. There were also a few extensions and cottage additions in later years. No expense was spared during the renovations, and since, the property has been meticulously maintained. Coming through the main gates on Greenway Drive, one comes up the winding driveway through lush landscaping of tropical trees and orchids to reveal the main house tucked into the cliff edge giving it a sense of mystery and excitement as the residence approaches. Main House As one comes up the front stairs from the circular driveway, one enters the grand foyer of the Main House. In the foyer, one will notice that all the principal rooms are trimmed in beautiful Coralina stone including columns and crown molding that complement the travertine and marble floors, highlighting the elegant aesthetic of the home. This home boasts intimate but also grand entertaining spaces throughout, with the ground floor interior rooms connecting seamlessly. Set over 8,177 square feet, the Main House’s centerpiece is located off of the foyer and is the large light filled drawing room with its lovely inlay flooring and 14-foot ceilings. There are large French Palladian windows and doors looking out to the main pool, manicured gardens, and stunning golf course views beyond, as well as a covered veranda perfect for taking in the spectacular sunsets with an evening cocktail. The walls of the drawing room are hand painted with trompe-l’oeil trellises and pilasters. The drawing room transitions to the comfortable living room through an arched passageway with pocket doors. The living room showcases coffered 14 foot ceilings and Palladian French doors that open onto the covered veranda which also benefit from views of the pool, garden and golf course. The living room also features beautifully hand painted trompe-l’oeil walls and lovely parquet floors. The dining room was converted from a solarium and has several unique features including a hand painted domed ceiling and a custom-built travertine and marble inlay dining table. The semicircular conservatory has south facing floor-to-ceiling windows that allow daylight to flood the room. One can look out onto the rock garden during the day and gaze at the stars and moon at night. The library features inlay Pecky Cypress paneling, bookcases, and tray ceilings throughout. French doors open from the library to the covered terrace that also enjoy the same views as the drawing room and living room. Not far from the main reception rooms is a forest green marble clad powder room, silver safe and wine cellar. Adjacent to the library is the recently renovated kitchen, which is a chef’s dream with appliances by Viking, custom cabinetry, multiple workspaces, quartz countertops, imported Italian tile and a light filled breakfast nook. The kitchen also has a good-sized pantry, staff bathroom and additional storage. Leading upstairs from the ground floor hall is a travertine staircase with a beautifully carved railing which stops at a half landing where one finds a guest entrance and a lovely, detailed mural, depicting the view from the guest suite which is hidden behind the mural. Through a concealed door one arrives at a double garage, which serves as the second entrance to the home from Crescent Place. Adjacent to the garage is an elegant winding staircase that leads to a private guest apartment with its own living room, bedroom and bathroom. This suite has pr
