The reason to consider it.
This 59,765 sq. ft. vacant parcel is in the heart of Marsh Harbour just off of Crockett Drive. The rear 1/3 of the property slopes up to about 30-35 feet above sea level with great summer breezes and possible views of the Harbour. This is an ideal property for a family estate, several duplex or triplex units or further subdivided into smaller lots. Priced at less than $1.68 a square foot, this is a great deal for one not concerned about it being on Key’s Tract.

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
