The brief

The reason to consider it.

Nestled just west of the pristine beaches at Guinea Schooner Bay, Abaco, this expansive 32,836-square-foot vacant lot offers a premier opportunity to build a custom island retreat in one of the Bahamas’ most serene locations. The property features generous proportions with a northern boundary of 297 feet and a southern boundary of 348 feet, providing a substantial footprint for a grand estate. Situated adjacent to a 10-foot right-of-way, the lot ensures easy access, with nearby established residences indicating that utilities are readily available for construction. This location delivers a lifestyle defined by “Out-Island” charm and world-class adventure. You are positioned moments away from the renowned bonefishing at Blackfly Lodge and just two miles from the championship golf course at The Abaco Club at Winding Bay. Explore the nearby Abaco National Park, crystal-clear blue holes, or the protected harbor at Schooner Bay. Whether seeking a peaceful sanctuary or a base for eco-adventures, this lot is the perfect foundation for your Bahamian dream.

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
