The brief

The reason to consider it.

Introducing Cut Pearl. Perched 15 feet above the beach in the highly sought-after and exclusive community of The Cut on Little Exuma, in The Bahamas, this home is both accessible and private, offering its owners and guests the best of island living. Built into the natural elevation, Cut Pearl presents unique opportunities for its next owner. Entering on the ground level, you are greeted by a grand staircase leading up to the main floor. A spacious open concept living, dining, and kitchen area creates the perfect setting to make the most of family time while enjoying unobstructed views of Exuma?s turquoise waters. With more than enough space for the entire family, Cut Pearl features five bedrooms and four bathrooms. Two of the three ensuite bedrooms are located on the main floor, while the third is tucked away upstairs with a spectacular ocean view. Step outside to the expansive patio to dine al fresco, lounge beneath the cabana, take in the sunset sky, or follow the stairs down to the private powder-sand Cut beach, reserved exclusively for property owners and their guests.

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
