Bimini Land for Sale

North Bimini vs South Bimini Land

Vacant land, and North Bimini real estate generally, is extremely scarce outside of the Bimini Bay community, and rarely hits the open market at all. Most North Bimini sales happen directly between locals, close knit transactions that are never formally advertised and often never show up as a public listing. Buyers relying only on what they see online will miss most of what actually changes hands on that side of the island.

South Bimini is different. While inventory there is still limited by Bimini's overall land supply, it is meaningfully more available than North Bimini, concentrated primarily in South Bimini generally and in Port Royal specifically, where lots come in three types: dry lots, canal front lots, and beachfront lots. Buyers specifically looking for land, rather than an existing home or condo, will find far more real, market visible options on the south side of the island.

South Bimini Land for Sale

South Bimini land ranges from smaller lots suited to a single home to larger parcels of ten acres or more. Recent listings have included a parcel near 461,000 square feet, roughly ten and a half acres, at $650,000, giving a sense of the scale available for buyers thinking beyond a standard residential lot. In Port Royal specifically, smaller canal front and dry lots have recently traded around $420,000, reflecting the range between larger undeveloped parcels and more modest, ready to build lots within an established community. Canal front lots typically come with private dockage built in. For buyers looking for a dedicated slip separate from a land purchase, see current Bimini boat and dock slips for sale.

Building on Land in Bimini

Most homes built in Bimini sit on stilts, a practical response to the island's flood risk that also creates usable space underneath for parking. Homeowners typically rely on cisterns or storage tanks rather than centralized municipal water, standard for this part of the Bahamas. Buyers planning a custom build should factor construction logistics into their timeline, since materials and contractors generally come from off island and can take longer to coordinate than a mainland U.S. build.

Investing in Bimini Land

Land remains one of the more interesting long horizon plays in Bimini's market, given how structurally limited the island's overall supply is. Purchases at $1,000,000 or more qualify for Bahamas Permanent Residency, which carries full tax neutrality, including exemption from capital gains. For residential land under five acres, no prior government approval is required, just registration with the Investments Board after closing.

If You Would Rather Buy an Existing Home or Condo

Not every buyer wants to build. For low maintenance condo living, see Bimini Cove or Bimini Bay. For a wider look at homes, land, and everything in between across the south side of the island, see the full South Bimini real estate picture.
