The brief

The reason to consider it.

This 289-acre parcel is located in the Southern end of Long Island. It offers waterfront, sprawling hills, panoramic views and a naturally occurring harbour on the Atlantic Ocean. The harbour is protected by a reef at the mouth of the cove area. Prime for development or a private estate home. Elevations up to 130 feet offering views of the Atlantic Ocean and the Great Lake. Over 2,000+ linear feet of waterfront. Long Island offers excellent deep-sea fishing and flats fishing. The nearest airport in Deadmans Cay is an approximate 60-minute drive. Flights arrive daily from Nassau, New Providence. The proposed “Calypso Cove” project is just a few settlements away. This parcel lots of potential.

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
