What Sets Them Apart:

• Ocean Views & Fairway Frontage: Many homes offer panoramic sea views or sit directly on the course.

• Private Docks & Marinas: In Albany and Ocean Club Estates, boaters can dock their yachts within walking distance of their homes.
• Indoor-Outdoor Living: Expansive sliding doors, covered terraces, and outdoor kitchens are standard in these properties—because in the Bahamas, the outdoors is part of your home.

These residences don’t just provide a place to live—they create an environment that enhances your lifestyle and delivers a daily dose of resort-style elegance.

Golf Course Living and Community Lifestyle

Living in a luxury golf estate in the Bahamas means you’re not just buying a home—you’re buying into a lifestyle.

Benefits of Golf Estate Living:

Investment Potential and Market Trends

The Bahamas’ golf estates aren’t just lifestyle-driven—they’re smart investments. Here’s why:

• Property Appreciation: Demand for luxury homes in Albany, Ocean Club, and Abaco continues to grow year-over-year. Limited supply and high demand keep values strong.
• Rental Income: Golf tourism and luxury travelers drive high nightly rates. Homes in Albany, for example, can command $10,000+ per week in peak season.
• Tax Advantages: No income tax, capital gains tax, or inheritance tax in the Bahamas—making it ideal for global investors.
• Residency Pathway: Buying real estate over $750,000 can fast-track permanent residency in the Bahamas, with special consideration for $1.5M+ properties.

Golf estates represent the intersection of lifestyle and longevity—perfect for investors who want assets that appreciate while they enjoy them.

Insider Tip from Glenn Ferguson

As someone who’s helped persons find their dream homes across the Bahamas for over two decades, I can tell you this: the best opportunities often don’t make it to public listings.

Whether you’re looking to move, invest, or secure a vacation home that earns while you golf, I’ll help you navigate the process—from private viewings to legal formalities.

Insider Tip: Albany is the gold standard for ultra-luxury golf living, but Ocean Club offers a rare combination of beachfront property and elite golfing with Four Seasons-level service. Abaco, meanwhile, provides a more intimate, low-key lifestyle that’s quietly rising in popularity—and value.

I work closely with buyers worldwide to match their goals with the right estate, neighborhood, and investment opportunity. My clients benefit from access to exclusive listings, local insight, and a trusted advisor who puts discretion and results first.
