The brief

The reason to consider it.

This 6.2-acre waterfront property in Marsh Harbour presents a rare opportunity to develop a boutique resort community with its own private marina and state-of-the-art dry boat storage facility. Ideally positioned adjacent to the Baker’s Bay Ferry Terminal with direct access to the Sea of Abaco and the famous surrounding cays, the site combines prime location with scale and growth potential. Entitlements allow for waterfront cottages and villas, protected docks for visiting boaters and villa guests, and The Bahamas first operational dry rack storage facility with capacity for 80 boats up to 45’. Only 1.05 acres have been developed to date, leaving significant room for expansion for condo/hotel villas and marina slips. With proven demand for boating, fishing, and luxury island living, this property offers a dual revenue model through resort villa and marina rentals and long-term boat storage income.

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
