Banana isn’t your average home.

It’s hidden on nearly two acres; waterfront property that overlooks Harrington Sound and is isolated from neighbours.

There’s a commanding fireplace in the spacious living room, a custom-designed cedar-panelled library and a chef’s kitchen.

There are three en suite bedrooms with the potential for a fourth; nearly every room in the home offers stunning water views.

The property was owned by the acclaimed animator, Arthur Rankin Jr.

The late producer and director pulled in bits from his travels around the world in creating the Hamilton Parish home.

The Italian tiles were handmade, the unique wooden dock is environmentally-friendly and there’s a bath and separate shower made of Bermuda stone.

The house is now for sale for $8.2 million.

Gill Butterfield and Vicky Hamshere of The Property Group are the sole listing agents.

“This is a rare opportunity to own a gem of a property hidden on the waterfront overlooking Harrington Sound,” they said. “The outstanding 1.9 acre property, Banana house and its cottage, enjoys a private, quiet location in Hamilton Parish with spectacular water views. On entering a beautifully planted driveway, you arrive at this stunning home facing south west which enjoys incredible sunsets from the deep, wraparound, covered verandas. The entry hall of the main house leads into the spacious living room with fireplace, a formal dining room which comfortably seats 16, and a beautifully custom-designed, cedar panelled family room/library. The “chef’s” kitchen includes a breakfast bar and informal dining area with fireplace. This leads to a bright and sunny conservatory — another option for informal dining or additional inviting living space.

“There are three generously sized en suite bedrooms with large closets and a study with its own full bathroom which could be a fourth bedroom. The house also boasts a very spacious basement with copious storage, a climate controlled wine cellar, laundry room, dehumidified linen storage closet, bathroom, exercise room and enormous garage.”

Just above the wooden dock, which is “perfect for boating, snorkelling and swimming”, sits a “shaded entertaining area with barbecue at the waterside, sensitively nestled above the dock”, they added.

There are existing plans for an infinity pool. The picturesque, landscaped property has a vegetable garden and many fruit trees including mangos, avocados and bananas. A two-bedroom guest cottage is set apart from the main house in a discreet garden setting.
