In September 2024, GreenPointe Holdings signed a Heads of Agreement with the Bahamian government covering a planned $1.5 billion redevelopment of the roughly 1,400-acre Treasure Cay resort property on Great Abaco Island. It is positioned to be the largest single private investment in northern Abaco's history, and the most significant catalyst the Treasure Cay real estate market has seen since the community was first developed decades ago. If you are considering property in Abaco, at Treasure Cay or anywhere in the northern part of the island chain, this development is worth understanding in detail, including where it actually stands today.

One important update first: as of mid-2026, the sale has not yet closed. The closing was delayed by the snap…

This is one of the most common questions buyers bring to Scott after they have done their first round of Bahamas research. Both destinations have strong reputations, both attract serious international buyers, and both offer the things most people come to the Bahamas for: clear water, a slower pace, and a property that earns its keep when you are not there. But they are genuinely different places, and the buyer who thrives on Abaco and the buyer who thrives on Harbour Island are not always the same person.

This comparison covers both destinations across the dimensions that matter most for a property purchase: access, lifestyle, community character, property types, price, rental potential, and boating. Read it as a framework for clarifying your own…

Abaco is a chain of islands and cays in the northern Bahamas stretching roughly 130 miles from Walker's Cay in the north to Cherokee Sound in the south. It has been one of the most active foreign buyer real estate markets in the Bahamas for decades, built on a combination of accessible air connections from the U.S., protected boating waters, a cluster of distinct outer cay communities, and a way of life that draws buyers back year after year until they decide to stop renting and start owning.

This overview covers the current state of the Abaco market as of early 2026: where inventory sits, what is driving prices, how each major community compares, and what the GreenPointe redevelopment at Treasure Cay means for buyers across the island chain. Whether…

A small handful of Abaco islands are accessible only by private boat. There are no roads, no scheduled ferries, and in most cases no airstrip. If you want to be there, you bring your own vessel. For a specific kind of buyer, that is precisely the appeal. These are the most genuinely isolated properties in the Abaco chain, and they offer something that ferry-accessible cays simply cannot replicate. This post covers what buying on a boat-access only island actually involves, which islands fall into this category, and what you should plan for before making an offer.

  • Lubbers Quarters and Tilloo Cay are the two genuinely boat-access only inhabited islands in the central Abacos

  • Scotland Cay is members-only with a private grass airstrip in…

This is the question every serious buyer eventually asks. Behind the beaches and the harbour photos and the lighthouse, the practical reality is that buying property in Abaco is a significant financial decision, and whether it makes sense as an investment depends on factors that are easy to underweight when you are looking at sunset photos from Hope Town.

This post covers the investment case honestly. What drives demand. What limits supply. What the tax structure actually delivers. What the GreenPointe redevelopment means for near-term values. What the risks are. And what kinds of buyers tend to do well in this market versus the ones who don't. The goal is to give you the framework to answer the question for yourself, with the specific circumstances of…
