You are never far away but you are far enough away!

The most popular and sought after lots on the island are the ones that face the caribbean, and they are in short supply at the prices we are selling them for. These lots are being sold with full title and with the supply of electric, water, telephone and cable TV. We are lucky enough to have city water in Deadmans Cay so no need to dig a well, you can connect to the main water supply.Long Island currently enjoys duty free status on construction materials, so building your home costs 34% less if you act now, it is a great time to invest in this family island in the Bahamas. We have Bahamian constructors, Architects, lawyers on hand to help you with your construction.

Details of the lots

Each plot is approximately 1/2 acre, some will vary slightly more or slightly less and the prices will reflect this. All are flat and excellent for building single or double storey homes. There is 10 lots directly overlooking the water and have fantastic views over the sea, and onto the surrounding cays. Access to beaches is either a 10 minute drive away or across by boat to one of the little private cays which are situated just opposite the boat ramp. Suitable little boats can be moored easily on the shores close by to the boat ramp.

About Long Island

Like going back in time, beautiful and tranquil is how many describe Long Island and to prove it, it has one of the highest return visitor rate in the Bahamas, people just cannot get enough of this treasure.. The simple island life is evident, and its a great place to get away from everything and enjoy: Great fishing, superb diving. adrenaline rush shark dives, exploring caves and the famous Blue Hole, are just a few of the attractions that visitors enjoy. For years it has been a well kept secret and now with the current legislation that is allowing all goods to be imported duty free, and this will allow land buyers to build on their plots without having to pay the duty on their building materials. It offers a huge saving of 34% that whether you construct your home or a builder does, it makes having your Bahamian home much more realistic and affordable.

The small airports that currently operate flights from Nassau and Gt Exum and now Fort Lauderdale are also set for expansion to allow international flights from the USA daily, so inevitably the island will start to get busier and prices will rise on plots of land and homes will get more and more expensive. The Duty free status is on the island NOW and it is a window of opportunity that is only open now.

Clarence Town - which is the capital has the island's prettiest harbour and is home to the local Government buildings. It is noted for its twin churches, and shops, harbour bar restaurant and beach.

Return on your investment (example) the prices quoted reflect today's market value so this is minimal return and prices will only go up. Figures quoted are approximations

Lot 1 to purchase $35,660 + stamp tax and closing costs (approx 8% but allow 10%) = $39,228  to construct a 3 bed 2 bath by a construction company $253,600 depending on finishes, bringing your outlay to $292,826. The resale value of the home once constructed is approximately $375,000 upwards depending on finishes. Time to construct is 18 months giving you $82,174 clear profit in less than 2 years that is a 28% return ..there is not many places left in the world that will give a proven return in such a short space of time

Other factors to take into consideration

•  Islands run out of buildable land and therefore the price of real estate will rarely drop in any location such as Long Island
• The Bahamas is a recognised established market with a vibrant tourist trade for rental income
• Long Island is on the map - Dean's Blue Hole is the deepest in the world and makes it one of the natural wonders- hoardes of divers visit the island year round
• The Port St George's 5* star hotel which has just been designated to be a Langhams Spa hotel -and will feature an 18 hole golf course and 650 slip marina with open use. This is great news for Long Island as the prices will triple even quadruple once the resort is up and running around 2012 - Land sales in this area for example Oceanfront half an acre is $500,000.. out of most peoples price range, but buying in Buttonwood Richville, you can still have access to the facilities but you do not have to pay the high prices or maintenance charges associated with the resort life.
• More airlines are now lining up to offer new flights from the USA and Nassau - where the airlines fly to there is growth always...
• The people on Long Island are the most friendliest and welcoming to foreigners and 2nd home owners in The Bahamas
