The brief

The reason to consider it.

Located just south of the entrance of Windermere Island, the Samual Sands Tract is a 322-acre sea-to-sea parcel of land with great elevations and over 7,000 feet of waterfrontage. This parcel is unique in Eleuthera in that the western side overlooks the protected waters of Savannah Sound and the exclusive Windermere Island beyond.

Savannah Sounds would make a great place for a small boat marina and is ideal for all types of water sports, including sailing, kayaking, paddle boarding, and snorkeling. The western boundary has easy access via the King’s Highway and would be ideal for restaurants, a waterside resort similar to French Leave, or any number of recreational facilities.

Eleuthera has seen prospering over the last 10 years, and this portion of Eleuthera could see similar growth in the near future, making now the ideal time to secure this unique development parcel.

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
