The reason to consider it.
This exceptional home stands out for its larger-than-average lot, sweeping views down a long stretch of serene waterway, 215’ of wraparound canal frontage resulting in neighbours only on one side, lush landscaping for a wonderful sense of privacy, and immaculate maintenance throughout. Set in the prestigious, gated community of Old Fort Bay in Nassau, this waterfront residence is designed to maximise its extraordinary setting. The two-storey home offers generous living spaces on both levels, with every room enjoying a water view and a constant connection to the outdoors. At the heart of the home is a contemporary open-plan kitchen and breakfast area, plus a formal living room, an office that is easily adaptable to a fourth bedroom. The ground floor flows seamlessly to an inviting pool, patio and an extended dock with gazebo, ideal for relaxed outdoor dining and entertaining. Upstairs, the family room opens onto a spacious balcony, perfectly positioned for sunrise coffee or evening breezes. The house comes with approved plans to convert the carport into a 2-bedroom guest cottage.

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
The asking price is not what it costs.
