LONG ISLAND

Available on request

The brief

The reason to consider it.

A rare opportunity to acquire 117 acres of elevated, unrestricted land on one of the Bahamas’ most celebrated out-islands — with direct road access, sweeping ocean and harbour views, and proximity to the iconic Columbus Monument atop stunning white cliffs. Positioned at elevation, this parcel captures the full drama of Long Island’s landscape: turquoise waters on both horizons, prevailing trade winds, and a sense of scale simply unavailable closer to Nassau. The land offers flexibility for private estates, resort concepts, subdivision, or long-term investment. Long Island is renowned for its dramatic terrain, world-class diving, fishing, and boating in pristine natural surroundings — all at an unhurried pace. It is increasingly on the radar of discerning buyers seeking an oasis of peace and privacy. Stella Maris Airport is nearby, with Cape Santa Maria Resort just minutes away. Additional acreage available. Contact for more details.

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
