The brief

The reason to consider it.

Provender is an exceptional five‑bedroom, five‑and‑a‑half‑bath historic beachfront residence on Windermere Island. Set on 1.32 acres of natural landscaping, it offers 150 feet of direct frontage on a three‑mile stretch of Atlantic pink sand beach. Built in the early 1970s, the home has been lovingly maintained by a prominent British family.

The property features approximately 2,554 square feet of versatile living space, with four bedrooms enjoying magnificent ocean views and a fifth smaller bedroom. The layout includes two suites on either side of the open‑plan living and dining area. Italian‑tiled floors span the interior, and a 550 square foot timber decking provides an outdoor setting for alfresco dining.

The home is equipped with broadband Wi‑Fi, Starlink, ductless air‑conditioning in every room, a dedicated laundry and storage area, outdoor shower, bicycle and kayak storage, dual water supply, a 10,000‑gallon cistern, and a substantial backup generator. A private boathouse enhances the coastal setting.

Nearby, The Club at Windermere offers a restaurant, bar, swimming pool, tennis and pickleball courts, fitness centre, library, and lagoon‑side beach.

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
