Upalong Hill

Hope Town, Abaco Bahamas

If Elbow Cay were a palace, Upalong Hill would be the Queen. An uncommon offering that truly has it all: powder sand shoreline, lighthouse/ harbour view, excellent elevation, large lot ( acre), privacy, walking distance to Hope Towns shops & eateries, and dockage in Nigh Creek. Upalong Hill is named after its location, Upalong. In Richard Seabergs novel, Hope Town: Reality of a Dream, the author writes: Upalong area would have been the most desirable land in Hope Town, or Great Harbor as it was known then, considering its higher elevation and views to both the harbor and the ocean. The breezes would come from any direction depending on the time of the year. If all thats been mentioned, werent already enough, this amazing trophy property also comes with fame factor. Dr. George Gallup (founder of the Gallup Poll) and his wife, Ophelia, owned the property, and built a cottage on the adjacent parcel. They would spend months at a time at their private retreat. A truly unique offering for a collector of the extraordinary.
