The brief

The reason to consider it.

The Point is an unparalleled 10.6-acre oceanfront development parcel located in Sandy Point on the southwestern tip of San Salvador Island. This exceptional property offers sweeping ocean views and a rare combination of elevation and expansive beachfront. Approximately 7 acres consist of elevated land rising to 82 feet above sea level at its highest point, gently sloping toward the shoreline. The remaining 3 acres sits on a substantial portion of the island’s widest beach. This area of the beach is elevated and positioned back from direct wave action. Road access, electricity, fiber optic and a drilled well are in place, providing valuable infrastructure for development. The property is ideal for a boutique resort or a private estate compound with guest cottages. Exceptional elevation, protected shoreline features, existing utilities, and significant beachfront combine to create a highly versatile and rare development opportunity. San Salvador International Airport features an 8,000-foot runway with weekly flights from Miami, Canada and Paris.

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
