Bahama Sound, Exuma

Extending reach to the Family Islands

Most of my transactions take place in Nassau and New Providence, but my practice is not limited to a single island. The Bahamas is an archipelago of over 700 islands, and clients looking to buy or sell property across the chain need an agent who understands the broader market. When an opportunity arose to represent two lots in Bahama Sound, Exuma, the brief was clear: package the lots together, price them for the current market, and find a buyer who recognized the value of a double corner lot in one of the most celebrated island chains in the world.

Exuma is one of the most sought-after destinations in The Bahamas, famous for the swimming pigs of Big Major Cay, the protected waters of the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park, and some of the clearest ocean water on the planet. The island chain attracts a mix of international investors, vacation home buyers, and those looking to secure a foothold in a market that has been steadily appreciating. Representing property here requires an understanding of what makes Exuma different from Nassau — the pace, the buyer profile, and the particular appeal of island life beyond the capital.

This transaction was straightforward in scope but significant in what it represents. Two lots sold together as a single package at $75,000 — a demonstration that I serve clients across The Bahamas, not just in Nassau. Whether the property is a multi-million dollar estate on Cable Beach or a pair of lots in Exuma, the commitment to professional representation remains the same.

A double corner lot in Bahama Sound

The property comprises two adjacent lots — 7747S and 7747R — in the Bahama Sound subdivision of Exuma. Together, they form a double corner lot totaling 19,950 square feet of land. Corner lots carry inherent advantages in any subdivision: greater road frontage, more flexible site planning, and enhanced privacy compared to interior parcels. A double corner amplifies these benefits, giving the owner a combined footprint approaching half an acre.

The lots feature elevations that provide views of the surrounding landscape and ocean vistas — a characteristic that distinguishes them from flat, interior lots elsewhere in the subdivision. Bahama Sound is a well-established community in Exuma with road access, existing infrastructure, and a mix of developed and undeveloped parcels. The subdivision has been a popular entry point for buyers looking to own land in Exuma without the premium associated with waterfront or cay properties.

The combined size of nearly 20,000 square feet gives a buyer meaningful flexibility. The land can accommodate a spacious single-family estate with generous setbacks, a main residence with a separate guest cottage, or it can be held as a long-term investment in a market where Exuma land values have been trending upward. For buyers familiar with land prices in Nassau, the value proposition in Exuma remains compelling — more land, more space, and the particular character of island life in the Family Islands.

Exuma itself needs little introduction. The island chain is home to the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park, Thunderball Grotto, and some of the most exclusive private island retreats in the world. From Staniel Cay to George Town, Exuma draws a global audience of visitors and investors who are drawn to its unspoiled natural beauty and relaxed way of life.

Growing international interest in Exuma

Exuma real estate has seen steadily growing international interest over the past several years. The island chain's global profile has been amplified by social media, celebrity ownership, and the continued development of high-end resorts and private island retreats throughout the cays. What was once a quiet corner of The Bahamas known mainly to sailors and fishermen has become one of the most recognized destinations in the Caribbean.

The Exuma Cays are home to some of the most exclusive private islands and resorts in the region, with transactions in the tens of millions of dollars. But the market is not limited to ultra-high-net-worth buyers. Subdivisions like Bahama Sound offer a more accessible entry point into Exuma ownership, attracting a diverse buyer pool that includes vacation home builders, retirees, and investors looking to hold land in a market with strong long-term fundamentals.

Land prices in Exuma range widely. Waterfront parcels and cay properties command significant premiums, while subdivision lots in established communities like Bahama Sound remain more affordable. At $75,000 for two lots totaling nearly 20,000 square feet, this transaction represented genuine value in an island chain where prices have been trending upward. Comparable single lots in Bahama Sound have been listed at prices that make a two-lot package at this price point particularly attractive for buyers looking at the long-term trajectory of Exuma real estate.

The broader context matters as well. The Bahamas continues to attract international investment, supported by a stable political environment, no income tax, and a well-established legal framework for foreign property ownership. Exuma benefits from improved air connectivity, with direct flights from Nassau and seasonal service from key U.S. gateways, making the islands more accessible than they have ever been.

Two lots, one transaction, across the archipelago

Lots 7747S and 7747R in Bahama Sound closed at $75,000 in January 2026. Two lots packaged as a single transaction, in one of the most beautiful island chains in the world. The sale was clean and efficient — the kind of transaction where accurate pricing and clear presentation bring buyer and seller together without unnecessary complexity.

This sale reflects something important about how I approach my practice. I am not a Nassau-only agent. My work extends across The Bahamas, from New Providence to the Family Islands, because that is where my clients' needs take me. Whether the property is a beachfront estate on Cable Beach, a commercial building on Blue Hill Road, or a pair of lots in Exuma, the standard of service and market expertise remains consistent.

If you are looking for land in Exuma, exploring investment opportunities in the Family Islands, or considering selling property anywhere in The Bahamas, I can help. My island-wide practice means I understand the nuances of each market — from the pace of transactions in the Out Islands to the competitive dynamics of Nassau — and I bring the resources and reach of Christie's International Real Estate to every engagement, regardless of location or price point.
