The brief

The reason to consider it.

This 3 bed 3 bath family home is located in the highly desirable and centrally located neighbourhood of Blair Estates off the Eastern Road. Blair is one of Nassau’s first planned neighbourhoods and to this day remains one of the capital’s most sought-after communities especially for families looking for a home with a yard/garden etc. Blair is minutes from some of Nassau’s best schools, shopping plazas, beaches, Paradise Island and Downtown Nassau. The main residence, a split level home consists of approximately 2,300 square feet with additional facilities on the property and outdoor storage for the total square footage of 7,669. This well constructed home sits on a 20,000 square foot slightly elevated lot with lots of mature fruit-bearing trees in the back yard and a lovely patio off the dining room overlooking the landscaped grounds. This lovely home has amazing potential and can be completely transformed with some imagination and TLC. Blair Estates has a community watch association and features a large 1+ acre private community park, ideal for neighbour events and festivities.

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
