Available on request

The brief

The reason to consider it.

You don’t need to go to the Exuma Cays to get away and experience the beauty, peace, and tranquility of the islands. It is right on our doorstep on Eastern Rose Island. Although it is only 11 miles from Nassau, it is rarely visited, ensuring a truly private ownership experience.

This 12-acre parcel of land, located towards the eastern end of Rose Island, comprises 12 100-ft sea-to-sea lots with an abundance of waterfrontage on both sides of the island. The property boasts impressive elevations, allowing for the creation of several beautiful beaches.

The property would be ideal for a weekend/holiday retreat, offering privacy and tranquility, or is highly suitable for various development opportunities.

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
