The brief

The reason to consider it.

Set behind the gates of Brigadoon Estates, one of eastern New Providence’s most established private enclaves, 17 Brigadoon Estates offers 5,360 sq. ft. of living space across two storeys on a lush 15,399 sq. ft. lot just off Eastern Road.

Inside, soaring tongue-and-groove wood ceilings crown the main living areas, and an open kitchen with a large centre island, stainless appliances and a statement range hood flows into the dining and family spaces. Five bedrooms, three full baths and a powder room give ample room for family and guests, including a spa-style bath with soaking tub, walk-in glass shower and double vanity. Hardwood and tile floors, ceiling fans and impact-resistant windows add everyday comfort and storm-season peace of mind.

Outside, a covered patio and wood deck open onto a sparkling pool framed by mature palms and tropical landscaping, with a poolside outdoor bar made for entertaining. The fully fenced yard offers a level of privacy rarely found this close to town.

Built in 1996, this is a rare opportunity in one of the East’s most sought-after neighbourhoods.

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
