Property Information |

Tucker’s Town is a part of Bermuda many people recognize because of the distinguished people who have gorgeous homes here, but the area has a fascinating history. With an access road laid down in the early 1600’s, the district struggled to establish itself first as a town, a whaling village and then as a farming community where cotton and tobacco failed to thrive. The area became one of the poorest districts in Bermuda. All this turned around finally when a company was formed and the lands were redeveloped in the 1920’s to attract an affluent north American visitor who would come and build expensive homes around the new golf courses that were laid out and the fine hotel that was built to supplement the numbers of residents. With the influx of new wealth, substantial houses were built in every style and size- from small copies of the traditional Bermuda style to rambling palaces clinging to the hillsides to savor the views.
Enjoying your leisurely walks along Tucker’s Town Road towards the cascade of little islands that stretch across the mouth of Castle Harbour is a rare and absorbing experience. Since the community is gated, only residents enjoy the scenery and your quiet contemplation of architecture and nature is unlikely to be disturbed. The beaches are simply dazzling and the views go on forever. At the end of the long peninsula are the islands ~ with ancient ruined forts and wind blown cedar trees. Four small islands are the last preserve of the endangered indigenous Cahow bird (pterodoma cahow), a sea-bird thought extinct for over 300 years until rediscovered by a passionate young Bermudian naturalist, David Wingate, in the 1960’s. If you rent a boat, don’t disturb these creatures: there are less than 250 of them believed left in the world.
Of course, all the rest of Bermuda waits to be discovered when you have finished your leisurely exploration of the neighborhood. Hamilton is the pretty capital, filled with small shops and nice places to dine and a swirl of business people running the various international business sectors that have grown on the island in recent decades. Traveling along the South Shore road heading west towards Somerset and beyond is to treat yourself to a never ending vista of ever more dazzling beaches, pretty homes and extraordinary amounts of green space- grassy sand dunes, tropical woods, manicured parks and golf courses. Handsome hotels and fine dining establishments abound here too- you are never far from a tasty meal beautifully served in Bermuda. Somerset Village and the attractions of Dockyard with its museums, shops, pubs, beachfront and bars only ends when the last ferry chugs off back to Hamilton with you and your moped aboard. Bus service is good too. Coming back along the Harbour Road is another treat with the Great Sound and the city of Hamilton twinkling invitingly across the water. And then there is the Railway Trail to explore on mopeds or on foot- an old carriageway-footpath where the original railway lines ran. Many visitors miss the North Shore Road but its worth seeing- much quieter waters, handsome old houses and the pretty village of Flatts as you wend your way down the coast to St. George’s. The original capital , the town is well worth a visit. Its collection of ancient buildings and its exceptional role in the development of trade both with the early American colonies and the Caribbean islands to the south reminds every visitor that the ocean has been the key to the trade that made Bermuda into the gem it is today. Pink coral sand beaches and a turkoise sea. And so much more to enjoy and appreciate…
