1 SAND CASTLE

Available on request

The brief

The reason to consider it.

“Sand Castle” is the definition of “Sea to Sea” and boasts just over 3 and 1/2 acres. This gives an investor the best of both worlds with views of the Atlantic ocean on one side and a beautiful beach setting on the Abaco Bay side where a dock can be built for the boating enthusiast. “Sand Castle is only one minute from the gates of Bakers Bay. This building envelope would provide a perfect setting to build a beautiful estate stretching form the ocean to the bay or chose your favorite side. This can also be a great development opportunity with many options that could be considered given the size and unique nature of its layout!

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
