The brief

The reason to consider it.

Located in the gated, low-density community of Orchid Bay, Lot 33 is the highest waterfront parcel on the Sea of Abaco. This untouched ¾-acre property offers over 100 feet of shoreline and ample depth, providing an exceptional canvas to design and build a custom island retreat. With utilities available curbside, the lot is ready for development, while its elevated position enhances both privacy and outlook. The generous frontage allows for the construction of a private dock, offering direct boating access just steps from your future residence. A rare opportunity to secure a premier waterfront homesite in an exclusive community, ideal for creating a private vacation escape.

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
