This freehold property consisting of 6.150 acres is located on the eastern side of Pipe Cay, offering powder white sand beachfront along this legendary Exuma island. The parcel boasts high elevations and deepwater access, making it well suited for yachts and offering the potential for dramatic elevated views across the beach and surrounding waters. This residentially designated property offers a wonderful opportunity for a private homesite or family compound, set within the natural beauty and privacy that Pipe Cay is known for. The parcel’s beachfront, elevation, and size make it well suited to a range of visions, from a secluded single-family estate to a private getaway built directly on the sand.
Pipe Cay is an exquisite private island situated in the most beautiful and popular area of the legendary Exuma islands chain, just a quarter mile south of Compass Cay Marina and the famous people-friendly sharks, and seconds away from the gorgeous sandbar near Little Pipe Cay. This part of the Exumas has become one of the most sought-after destinations in the Bahamas, prized by boaters, second-home buyers, and those seeking a rare combination of privacy and accessibility.
Pipe Cay lies 8 miles north of Staniel Cay, home to the amazing underwater cave known as Thunderball Grotto, the famous swimming pigs at Big Major Cay, a popular yacht club, a boutique resort with 14 bungalows, a full-service marina, and the nearest airport, which is a designated port of entry. Owning land here places a buyer at the heart of the Exuma cruising grounds, within easy reach of some of the most photographed and celebrated destinations in the entire Bahamian island chain.

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
