The brief

The reason to consider it.

This 64.67-acre waterfront parcel offers over 5,000 feet of protected linear waterfront, a secluded beach, and elevations exceeding 30 feet with panoramic ocean views. Positioned between the Sea of Abaco and White Sound Harbour, the site provides deep-water access suitable for a marina and high-end waterfront development. Formerly cultivated by a botanist, the land features mature tropical foliage, fruit trees, and hardwoods. While largely undeveloped, existing structures include a distressed caretaker’s cottage and workshop. The property’s natural beauty, rich character, and proximity to key infrastructure make it a rare find in a market defined by limited supply and sustained demand. Abaco continues to lead the Bahamian market for boating, sportfishing, and waterfront lifestyle investments. Green Turtle Cay, home to the historic town of New Plymouth, founded in 1783, is a well-established, family-oriented community with a strong maritime heritage. The island is supported by essential infrastructure, daily ferry service, and only 6 miles from the Treasure Cay International Airport.

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
