The reason to consider it.
A thoughtfully designed off-grid island retreat located within the exclusive Dorros Cove community. This 1-Bed, 1-bath cottage is built to hurricane-strength featuring central steel beam anchored into solid ground, with wood beams secured with steel bracing—an exceptionally durable construction method. Spanning approximately 650 sq. ft. of elevated living space, plus a 100 sq. ft. utility level below, the home is powered by solar energy with generator backup; offering seamless, self-sufficient living. A detached golf cart shed adds convenience and storage. Set on a generous half-acre parcel with elevations reaching 42 feet above sea level, the property captures sweeping views and constant ocean breezes. Approved plans are already in place for a 4-bedroom main residence, creating a rare opportunity to live on-site while building your primary home. The existing cottage transitions effortlessly into a guest retreat or high-demand vacation rental. Enhancing its appeal is a valuable dock slip, located just moments from the iconic Tahiti Beach. Meets Bahamian Permanent Residency Threshold.

What people say about Bahamas
Sources agree that foreigners can own Bahamian property outright and that an ordinary home purchase needs a registration filing through a Bahamian lawyer, not a discretionary permit.
- Positive Foreign buyers mostly register rather than seek a permit; permit applies to large or commercial land
- Mixed Closing costs are dominated by a 10% transfer VAT for foreign buyers, usually split with the seller, plus legal fees
- Mixed Annual property tax is being reshaped in 2026 (new foreign owner-occupied category), and Bahamian realtors dispute fairness
- Concern Vacant land owned by foreigners carries a notably heavier tax until built on
