Dreaming of Hope Town Harbour? Your Sanctuary Awaits! If you’ve ever envisioned waking up to the charm of Hope Town Harbour, this is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for. “Sanctuary” offers an idyllic setting from sunrise to sunset—a truly picture-perfect location. Formerly home to a historic 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath Loyalist cottage built in 1854, the property is ready for your dream rebuild. A 1,500-gallon cistern tank remains in place, offering a solid start for your future island escape. Imagine beginning your day on the porch, coffee in hand, watching the iconic lighthouse end its shift, with birdsong and the gentle lapping of water creating a peaceful soundtrack. By afternoon, enjoy boat-watching from a private vantage point—close enough to the harbour action, yet perfectly distanced for peace and privacy. As the sun sets, unwind with happy hour and alfresco dining, framed by

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
