The brief

The reason to consider it.

This oversized lot in Current, one of Eleuthera’s most historic seaside settlements, offers more than land – it offers possibility. Whether you envision a private island home, income-producing vacation cottages, or a thoughtfully designed multi-unit retreat, this property provides the space and setting to bring that vision to life. A short stroll leads you to powder-soft white sand and clear turquoise waters. The community is authentic and welcoming, with two boat ramps, a dock, basketball court, playground, and a quaint local food store that reflects the warmth of island living. For those who crave adventure, the nearby Current Cut, celebrated for its dramatic tides and marine life, draws divers and free divers from around the world. Fishing, kite surfing, boating, and endless beachcombing are not special occasions here; they are part of everyday life.

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
