Andros Island Real Estate: Waterfront Land and Homes

Andros is a long island of pine forest, mangrove creeks and flats, with settlements spread along its east coast. It is far quieter than New Providence, with few services, limited shopping and small airstrips and flights from Nassau. Fishing lodges, dive operators and the Andros Barrier Reef, one of the world's longest, are the main draws.

Buyers are typically anglers, second-home owners wanting seclusion, and long-term land investors. Practicalities such as power, water, roads, and building materials need careful planning.

Foreigners can buy property in the Bahamas, but non-residents usually must register the purchase with the Central Bank to be able to repatriate funds later, and larger parcels or undeveloped land may need a government permit under the International Persons Landholding Act. Conveyance stamp duty is significant, and annual real property tax applies. Use a Bahamian attorney and have title searched carefully, because Family Island land sometimes has generational title issues.

Our listed alternatives are different markets, not neighbours: Nassau and New Providence Paradise Island form the main urban and resort hub, and Grand Bahama Freeport is a separate island. Start from the Bahamas page.
