The brief

The reason to consider it.

The moment your feet sink into the powder-soft sand along the tranquil shoreline, everything else fades away. Crystal-clear water shimmers in endless shades of turquoise beneath a canopy of towering coconut palms, where gentle sea breezes and the rhythm of the tide create a scene that feels as though it belongs to another time. It is the kind of place where long afternoons are spent beneath the palms, mornings begin with a swim in impossibly calm waters, and the outside world quietly disappears. From this idyllic shoreline, the land rises nearly 70 feet above sea level, revealing breathtaking 360-degree panoramas across Elizabeth Harbour and the Exuma Sound. Every sunrise. Every sunset. Every shifting shade of blue. Every breeze. Together, they create one of the most extraordinary natural settings in The Bahamas. Encompassing approximately 25 acres, the property’s remarkable topography creates an exceptional foundation for visionary development. Elevated ridge lines, natural clearings, and commanding outlooks provide multiple opportunities for thoughtfully positioned residences, each designed to maximize privacy, panoramic views, and cooling trade winds. From an exceptional private estate to a boutique resort, exclusive luxury villas, or thoughtfully curated hospitality destination, the possibilities are as remarkable as the landscape itself. The existing four-bedroom, five-bathroom residence is rich in history, the property has been part of Elizabeth Island’s story since the 1960s. Perched in an exceptional vantage point, the existing four-bedroom, five-bathroom residence embraces the island’s spectacular views and refreshing sea breezes. Comfortable as it stands, it offers the opportunity to enjoy the property immediately while also presenting endless possibilities to renovate, expand, or reimagine it into a truly extraordinary island home. The Coastline While the tranquil shoreline offers calm turquoise waters beneath swaying coconut palms, the island reveals an entirely different character on its eastern edge. On the Exuma Sound side, dramatic limestone bluffs give way to hidden grottoes and secluded pocket beaches, revealing the raw natural beauty that defines the Exumas. Together, these two distinct coastlines create an extraordinary balance of serenity and adventure, a rare experience found on only the most exceptional island properties. Location Although it feels wonderfully secluded, Elizabeth Island is only minutes by boat from George Town, marinas, waterfront dining, shopping, and Exuma International Airport, offering the rare luxury of complete privacy without sacrificing convenience.

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
