The brief

The reason to consider it.

Welcome to 40 Pike Close in prestigious Fortune Bay. This modern canal-front estate is crafted for elevated island living.

Set on 119 feet of prime waterfront and ideally positioned close to open ocean access, this residence pairs striking architecture with resort-style outdoor living and storm-conscious construction. Inside, soaring 13’6” ceilings define the main living area, while vaulted bedroom wings create an airy, private retreat feel. The home features 4 spacious bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bath, plus a powder room – perfect for effortless entertaining and multi-generational comfort. The kitchen is outfitted with high-end appliances, including a Thermador stove and other premium selections.

Built with full ICF (insulated concrete form) construction and a spray-foam insulated roof system, the home is designed to be cooler, quieter, and more energy-efficient year-round. Tinted, impact-rated hurricane windows and doors (Miami-Dade code) and the home’s elevated build above grade provide added peace of mind, while the rough-in for solar panels and a generator supports long-term resilience and flexibility.

Outdoors is where the lifestyle truly shines: mature landscaping with lighting and irrigation, a saltwater pool, and a beautifully designed entertaining setting that feels like your own private resort – complete with a brand-new Weber grill on the outside patio for effortless alfresco dining. For boaters, the dock has been extended to nearly the full canal frontage, creating an exceptional platform for boating, water toys, and sunset lounging.

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
