The brief

The reason to consider it.

Secure your own 11,000-square-foot canal lot in the quiet community of Queens Cove, Freeport. With 70 feet of canal frontage, this property is a fantastic choice for an affordable waterfront escape, offering a peaceful setting for fishing, kayaking, and enjoying the island breeze. The property is located on a calm, closed canal system. While this area does not offer boat access to Hawksbill Creek or the open ocean, it provides a safe and tranquil waterfront environment. This makes it an ideal location for a private getaway where you can enjoy the water in total serenity. Situated approximately a half-mile from where city utilities currently end, this lot is perfectly suited for a modern, solar-powered setup or a self-sufficient vacation cottage. Its distance from the main road offers a unique level of privacy for those looking to build an eco-friendly retreat. At this price point, 24 Lancashire Road is an excellent entry-level investment.

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
