The Darby Islands are privately owned and managed. They total five separate islands: Little Darby, Big Darby, Goat Cay, Guana Cay, and Bette Cay. Big Darby, a former plantation built by Sir Baxter in 1938, encompasses approximately 550 acres. Big Darby was a working plantation with goat, cotton, palm oil and fruit as its products. The main house sits atop an 80-foot bluff with a spectacular 360-degree ocean view. This unique house was designed to collect and store rainwater. Hidden beneath the foundation are three freshwater cisterns with a capacity of storing 125,000 gallons of water. The house supports both wind and solar electrical generation interphased through a state of the art inverter system. Diesel generators supply all backup power if needed.
