The brief

The reason to consider it.

Located on the water’s edge in the serene Berry Islands, just a few miles north of Nassau, this lot is ideal to build your home away from home in The Bahamas. At 26,136 sq ft, it is spacious enough for a sizeable home with a dock, and the crystal waters are ideally suited for exploring reefs and wrecks and for fishing. Nearby is also an amazing 600-foot-wide blue hole! This location provides excellent opportunities to enjoy the natural beauty of The Bahamas without being far from modern amenities and an international airport. A collection of 30 cays, the Berry Islands are known as ‘The Billfish Capital of The Bahamas’. The property is also a short distance from the exclusive Chub Cay Resort and Marina.

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
