The brief

The reason to consider it.

This Multifamily lot is elevated on the ridge of Tropical Gardens extension, on Gambier Court. One of the few sea view lots left in the west. The view from the ridge is a gorgeous unobstructed view of the turquoise waters in the western area. This lot is located beside the Stones Throw Away Hotel. The driveway is already cut so the lot is ready to start building. At the top of driveway is a level area , then the lot rises to the ridge, where your home will have similar view of the hotel. Walk a few minutes down the hill to a beautiful white sand beach.

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
