The reason to consider it.
Perched on 2.1 acres of elevated, sloped terrain, this exceptional waterfront parcel is a rare opportunity to build a private island retreat within the exclusive fly-in community of Scotland Cay. Nestled beside the island’s scenic waterfront park, the property boasts deeded access to a protected cove and white-sand beach, offering both privacy and a direct connection to nature’s beauty. One of the island’s original homesites, the parcel retains a 40,000-gallon concrete cistern and foundational remnants of a former residence—features that hint at its historic legacy while offering inspiration for future development. With open zoning and subdivision potential, the property invites a range of possibilities, from a sprawling estate to an investment with multiple lots. Scotland Cay’s gated setting, private airstrip, and close-knit community create a haven for those seeking security, seclusion, and a refined island lifestyle. Whether imagined as a luxurious personal escape or a visionary development, this hillside parcel is a rare gem in one of the Bahamas’ most exclusive enclaves.

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
