Bayview Court Canal Front Lot

Available on request

The brief

The reason to consider it.

There is a quickly dwindling supply of large canal front vacant land. This lot measures 100’ on a deep water solid seawall canal in the private Bayview Court area. Roadside measures 40’ with the entire depth being 222’. The opposite side measures 100’ then angles to 83’ with the final portion measuring 102’ (this runs parallel to the 220’). The lot’s shape is akin to half a funnel. The canal is extra wide and extra deep in this section and has direct ocean access.

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
