The reason to consider it.
Nestled in the clear blue and turquoise waters of the Atlantic ocean, this large open zoned property has 258 ft. of beach front. Ideal for a private residence with extensive gardens or for a low density multi-family development, Sugar Loaf is located near the international airport, Cockburn Town (the largest settlement on San Salvador) and Club Med. Columbus’s first expedition to the New World landed here in October 1492 and was greeted by one of the smallest and most unique islands in The Bahamas. Five marine and terrestrial national parks, Watling’s Blue Hole and a myriad of activities including bonefishing, kayaking, kitesurfing, snorkeling and scuba diving (San Salvador is considered by many as the best scuba site in the country and the 3rd best on Earth) await you. Historical sites include Watling’s Castle, originally a Loyalist Plantation House, the Lookout tower at French Bay, the Fortune Hill Plantation (an example of British Colonial architecture) and the Dixon Hill Lighthouse which took over 30 years to complete and is said to be one of the few lighthouses in the world.

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
The asking price is not what it costs.
