The brief

The reason to consider it.

Take advantage of this unexpected treasure that offers the best of both worlds: 5 acres and 356 feet of pristine beachfront that then stretches uphill at a gentle gradient, granting unobstructed ocean views all the way. Then, another 23.7 acres of hillside, from its 80ft elevation, the landscape drops away, revealing not only ocean views to the South but also a sweeping panorama of the lakes and valleys to the North and the interior of the Island. Easily accessible and only 25 mins from New Bight International Airport. The property is also minutes away from Hawks Nest, which offers a private airstrip and marina. Once planned for a boutique eco-resort, the titles are clear and include plans for a beach clubhouse. Cat Island has a rich history and the highest elevations in the country.

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
