Grand Bahama welcomes homebuyers
An ever-increasing number of visitors who come to Grand Bahama in search of sun, sea and sand are discovering that the island is also an excellent place to retire, buy a second home or invest in property.
The island is semi-tropical with winter temperatures that rarely fall below 60ºF, thanks partly to the warming effect of the Gulf Stream.
Although Freeport was originally developed by American financier Wallace Groves as an industrial and shipping centre, the island has become home for thousands of visitors and investors.
H G Christie Ltd, the largest full-service realtor in The Bahamas, lists commercial property, office space, townhouses, apartment buildings, duplexes, homes, condominiums and vacant land in Grand Bahama–not to mention properties and private islands throughout The Bahamas.
Recent listings range from 1-bdrm condos on a golf course for $70,000 to a 4-bdrm turnkey home in downtown Freeport offered for $1.8 million. For investors, there are many vacant properties on offer, including a new listing for a 22-acre beachfront/canalfront plot of land–an ideal site for a high-end resort–for$14.6 million.
For vacation ownership options, check out Ocean Reef Resort & Yacht Club on Bahama Reef Blvd. You can view 1-, 2-, and 3-bdrm villas with a host of luxurious amenities. Ocean Reef also includes a 52-slip marina capable of handling yachts up to 200 ft.
If community living is your preference, see the attractive garden suites, condominiums and townhouses offered for sale at Bell Channel Club & Marina on Jolly Roger Dr. It’s good to know that you don’t have to be a Bahamian to own a home or vacant land in Grand Bahama. Property is held in freehold, not leased, which means it is yours to use, sell or assign in your will, without restriction.
