4-bedroom house in Paradise Island with water views

Available on request

The brief

The reason to consider it.

Tucked just off Eastern Road, this 1.28-acre property delivers the kind of quiet, elevated living that’s hard to find so close to the city. With water views stretching out from the hilltop, it’s the setting more than the square footage that makes this one special.

The main house spans 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, catching the morning light and sea breeze from its elevated position. Two separate 1-bedroom cottages sit on the grounds, well suited for hosting guests, running short-term rentals, or giving extended family their own space. Set high enough for privacy and unobstructed views, yet minutes from everything Nassau has to offer, this property leaves room to shape it around what you actually need. Family compound, rental income, or a project to make your own, this parcel gives you the space and the setting to build it.

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
