The brief

The reason to consider it.

Oceanfront Condominiums With Private Beach

WE HAVE SOLD EVERYTHING WE HAVE BUILT, BUT ARE TAKING RESERVATIONS FOR THE NEXT BUILDING. BUYERS CAN STILL HAVE INPUT INTO THE DESIGN PROCESS FOR THE NEXT BUILDING.

Situated on 50 lush acres on the island of Eleuthera, Bahamas, Buttonwood Reserve extends from the Caribbean Sea on the west to the Atlantic Ocean on the east.

The condominiums, located on a high ridge overlooking the Caribbean, have truly extraordinary ocean and sunset views, among the finest on the island.

The residences are connected by a private drive to a beautiful and secluded pink-sand beach on the Atlantic.

The water on both coasts is literally crystal clear: with no rivers or streams on Eleuthera, the seas that lap its beaches are free of sediment and among the clearest in the world. Eleuthera is one of the hemisphere’s last great secrets, a tropical island barely touched by development. Buttonwood Reserve will honor this legacy by preserving and protecting our flora and fauna.

Owners can participate in a rental program with a proven track record of excellent income.

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
