The brief

The reason to consider it.

Situated one mile south of Governor’s Harbour on the east side of the King’s Highway this 72.54 acre tract has elevations up to 100 feet. Property is ideally situated for land development with spectacular sea views and elevations. All utilities are on the Highway. Eleuthera is over 100 miles long and has lots of gorgeous pink and white sandy beaches, mainly on the ocean (east) side of the island. Numerous settlements dot the island and two offshore islands –Spanish Wells and Harbour Island – lie off the northern end. Governor’s Harbour is considered the middle of the island and has the largest population. It houses the government administrative centre.

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
