The brief

The reason to consider it.

Incredible ocean- and beachfront elevated peninsula with dramatic 270-degree views of the beach, coastline, and ocean. This one-of-a-kind property consists of over 2 acres on the eastern shore of Eleuthera, near James Cistern and due east of the northern tip of the Governor’s Harbour airport runway. The property is accessible by an old road that leads out to a protected and beautiful crescent-shaped bay, of which the southern 200 beachfront is a part of this property. The main portion of the property consists of a rocky peninsula with elevations of up to 25′, a suitable and safe site for your dream oceanfront residence. The views from this peninsula are nothing short of spectacular, with dazzling hues of turquoise and aquamarine all around. To the west of the property, and connected to it, is a long, protected, crescent-shaped beach, the southern portion of which is usually very calm and perfect for swimming. To the south of the property is another oceanfront beach, great for walks and beachcombing. Note that there are no utilities in place at this property.

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
