The brief

The reason to consider it.

Beautifully elevated 4 acre sea to sea lot for sale in The Bahamas located on exclusive Rose Island east of Paradise Island.

This is a fantastic opportunity to purchase a beautifully elevated sea to sea lot spanning 4 acres located on Rose Island in The Bahamas. On the northern side of the island, there is a beautiful private cove beach. The southern side faces the protected lower harbour, which is the ideal location for dockage with easy access to Nassau in all weather. This property would be ideal for a private estate or a commercial entity similar to the successful Sandy Toes.

Rose Island is situated just 3 miles to the east of Paradise Island and 4 miles north east of New Providence in The Bahamas. With very little development, the quiet island boasts quiet, sun-drenched beaches perfect for creating a private retreat which offers proximity to Nassau (15 minutes away via air conditioned fast ferry) and Paradise Island whenever desired.

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
