The reason to consider it.
This large 16,500-square-foot lot in the established Chesapeake subdivision of Grand Bahama offers a premium opportunity for a custom residential estate or a significant investment. Boasting a “ready-to-build” status, this parcel includes all utilities (power and city water) already on-site, drastically streamlining the construction process and reducing initial development costs. The Lot is a short drive to the Port Lucaya Marketplace for dining, duty-free shopping, and nightlife. Chesapeake is a well-regarded, peaceful residential community known for its high elevation. The property service charges are $65.63 monthly or $787.60 annually.

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
