The brief

The reason to consider it.

Placed in the serene setting of The Narrows, on a prime stretch of Pink Sands beach, this world-class residence reinterprets Tropical Modernism through a careful balance of architecture and the landscape. Southern Cross combines a sense of openness with careful attention to spatial intimacy & environmental integration. The core of the design is a multi-courtyard arrangement promoting ventilation and natural light diffusion. Perfectly set on just under three elevated acres, the residence boasts over 200ft of beachfront above a protective secondary dune, with fully mature impressive landscaping. Materials such as South American hardwoods, limestone and polished concrete, copper & brass, exemplify the synthesis of global craftsmanship and climate adaptability. Southern Cross features amazing ocean views and stands as the finest beach estate on Harbour Is.

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
