SCRUB HILL

Available on request

The brief

The reason to consider it.

Positioned on a hilltop in Scrub Hill, Long Island, this residential lot benefits from strong elevation, expansive horizon lines, cooling trade winds, and natural privacy. A two-storey residence would capture ocean views, enhancing both lifestyle appeal and long-term investment value. Located just ¼ mile off Queen’s Highway in a quiet, developing residential area, the property offers both seclusion and convenience. The beach is only a short walk away, providing easy access to clear waters and unspoiled shoreline. The size and elevation of the lot allow for flexible development, whether for a private island residence or a low-density vacation rental concept. Dean’s Blue Hole is just minutes away, with grocery stores, medical clinics, fuel stations, and the airport all within a short drive. An excellent opportunity to secure elevated land near the beach on one of The Bahamas’ most authentic islands!

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
