Although the Bahamas is a chain of 700 islands in the sun, each one exhibits its own distinct

personality. Eleuthera is no exception. Eleuthera, this noble island known as “The Land of Freedom,” offers a life of simplicity…..no stress, no strain, no struggle…no problem! Kind and hospitable Eleutherians are a synthesis of various peoples and cultural dialects resulting from a unique blend of American, European, and Caribbean essence. We are outgoing, friendly, and very warm and inviting to our guests.

Even the land itself calls visits to relax, release, and be rejuvenated. Here, pink and white powder beaches stretch along our shores, waiting to be enjoyed. Balmy breezes blow gently and the wind seems to whisper each listener’s name. For the blessed visitors reaching the Eleuthera mainland, Harbour Is-land or Spanish Wells, the natural landscape and the natural charm of our people will not disappoint. And at the end of your stay, you will know that you are always welcome in this land of beauty and leisure.

information


In the mid-1600’s, industrious Bermudian business-man and mariner Capt William Sayles landed on

Citagoo Island – today’s Eleuthera. He and his fellow shipmates came in search of freedom, prosperity and a simple life. Recent archaeological finds at Preach-ers Cave, near Sayle’s landing site, and other historic sites around the island, offer evidence of daring explo-rations and adventures of those that came afterwards. Today, Eleutherians from all walks of life have united as One Eleuthera to reignite our communi-ty’s passion for and commitment to our little piece of Heaven on Earth. Together, we will rediscover and redefine Cigatoo as a place where our unique history, culture and heritage – forged over 1,500 years - inspires and guides the future of our beau-tiful island. Together… as One Eleuthera..

Eleuthera is an island that offers the visitor plenty to choose

from. From cliffs to caves you can do it all or do nothing at all. In a similar fashion, Eleuthera offers some of the finest dining experi-ences to be found throughout The Islands of The Bahamas. Here are a few that we highly recommend! Cape Eleuthera Barracuda’s Beach Bar and Grill, located at the southern tip of the island, offers you a clear view of the Point and their Blue Flag Marina. Enjoy their

specialty, Grilled Lemon Grouper. Or, just enjoy a pizza, hot from the oven. You can enjoy a taste of North-ern Italy, Island style at CoCodima-ma. Located just south of Gover-nor’s Harbour Airport, Chef Marco Ceiriani of Milan will happily tempt you with his homemade Porcini Ravioli w/walnut sauce. At Cocodi-

Eleuthera’s Best Eateries


mama’s it’s all homemade, or as we say “made from scratch”. Just outside of Hatchet Bay and overlooking the serene, Exuma Sound is Rainbow Inn. Order a delectable steak that is flown in fresh from Chicago or engage your

palate with the fresh catch of the day, also brought in daily. Romora Bay is located on quaint Harbour Island. Go for their famous frozen Goombay Smash, stay for the food. Their mouth wa-tering steaks are flown in daily and the local fisher men supply fresh sea fare every day. The Beach House Tapas Restaurant, Governor’s Harbour, overlooks the Atlantic Ocean. They will tickle your taste buds with an extensive menu of items, like a sea food paella or curried lobster, prepared from their daily delivery of sea foods.


Eleuthera’s Best Eateries

The Boathouse at Valentine’s Resort and Marina, on Harbour Island, offers you a choice of dining in open air deck style or in air con-ditioned comfort. Dine on bistro favorites, scrumptious seafoods and tasty pastas. So… just as Eleuthera offers you a wide range of sites and activi-ties to choose from, so too do the Eateries of Eleuthera!

Founded six years ago, over 1,600 participants have collectively cycled more than 40,000 miles and raised nearly $2 million dollars in the process. We are funding and establishing critical programs that truly are making a major impact in the fight against cancer. We are saving lives! Save the date and join us for the 2012 edition of the Ride for Hope.

General Procedure for Non-Bahamians

wanting to own Property in The Bahamas.

The International Persons Landhold-ing Act passed in 1993 made it easier for non-Bahamians and companies under their control to own property. 1. A non-Bahamian or permanent resident who purchases or acquires an interest in a condominium or property to be used by him as a single family dwelling or for construction of such dwelling must apply to the secretary to the Investment Board to register the purchase following completion of the purchase. 2. Upon receipt of the above the acquisition is registered and a certificate of registration issued. 3. A permit to acquire property is required as a pre-condition to comple-tion of the purchase if the property is undeveloped land and the purchaser would become the owner of two or more

Picturisque homes for sale.......



real estate

contiguous acres. A permit is also required in cases where property being purchased is not for use as a single family dwelling (for example if the purchaser is buying a resort, restaurant or other com-mercial venture).

4. Non-Bahamians who own homes in The Bahamas may apply to the direc-tor of immigration for an annual home owner’s residence card. This entitles the owner, spouse and dependent children to enter and remain in The Bahamas for the duration of the validity of the card. This is intended to facilitate entry but does not confer resident status. All applications for permits along with fees made payable to the Public Trea-sury should be submitted to the Ministry of Financial Services & Investments for consideration by the Investment Board.

Fee ScheduleCertificate of Registration fee ……$250.00Permit Fee ..................................$500.00Annual home owner’sresidence card ............................$500.00

What is Stamp Duty? Although there are no taxes on capital gains, inheritance, corporate and personal income, dividends and interest in The Bahamas there are Real Property Tax and Stamp Duty. A one time Stamp Duty is payable on real estate transactions calculated on the value of property which is not always the sale price and is a prerequisite to having your ownership registered.

The Government Stamp Tax on Property Conveyances

The government Stamp Duty on the property conveyance or realty transfer is graded as follows:Up to & Including Stamp Duty$0-$20,000.00 ...................................4%$20,000.01-$50,000.00 .....................6%$50,000.01-$100,000.00 ...................8%$100,000.01-$250,000.00 ...............10%Over $250,000.00 ............................12% In property sales the vendor and the purchaser each pay half the Stamp Duty unless otherwise agreed.

Real Property TaxIn respect of owner-occupied propertyup to $250,000 ........................... exempt

$250,000 - $500,000 ......................3/4%$500,0001 - $500,000.00 ..................1%$500,000.00 + ..................................¾%In respect of unimproved propertyup to $3,000 .....................................$30$3001- $100,000 ...............................1%$100,001 or more ........................1 1/2%In respect of any other property:up to $500,000 ..................................1%$500,001 or more ............................. 2%

Other FeesThe lawyer who prepares the conveyance typically charges a fee of 21/2% of the sale price. Real estate agents charge a 6% com-mission on the sale of developed and 10% undeveloped residential or commercial property.

Church ServicesWesley Methodist ChurchTarpum Bay Tarpum Methodist Church is believed to be the oldest church in the settlement. It was erected in 1809 by Rev. Turton. Methodist Work initially began in Tarpum Bay in 1806 by Rev. Turton. By 1812 three quarters of the inhabitants were member of the Tarpum Bay Security.

This did not last long and it was not until a new wooden chapel was built in 1837 that encouraged signs in morals, and spiritual depths of Church attendance were seen. St. Patrick’s Anglican (Episcopal) Church Dedicated in 1892 with its histor-ic pipe organ, beautiful tabernacle (which is the most beautiful in the country), and gothic architecture, is one of the favorite tourist attractions.

Church Of God Of Prophecy The church was built in 1956.

Lighthouse Church Of God The church was built in 1955. The inter-national Headquarters for the church is in Cleveland, Tennessee, USA.St. Patrick’s Anglican (Episcopal)
