The brief

The reason to consider it.

This solid concrete residence is centrally located in the heart of the settlement of Governor’s Harbor, offering the convenience of true in-town living with grocery stores, banks, restaurants, beaches, and everyday amenities all within walking distance. Governor’s Harbor is one of Eleuthera’s most active communities, known for its vibrant atmosphere and strong sense of local culture. Situated on approximately 0.295 acres, the property includes a three-bedroom, two-bath main residence along with an attached retail space of approximately 1,800 square feet. Built with strong concrete walls, the home offers durability and a solid foundation, providing an excellent opportunity for a buyer seeking a well-located property with room for personal touches. The property features a good-sized yard, water views, and close proximity to the beach. A notable and uncommon feature is the presence of a chimney, adding a distinctive architectural element rarely seen in homes in The Bahamas. Ideally located with mixed-use potential for residential, rental, or income-generating use.

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
