Stroll down the coconut palm fringed drive and you find the most unexpected cottage nestled in your private tropical getaway.
The property is new to the market, having recently been extensively improved and extended by the present owner. You will appreciate the effort and creativity that has gone into making this two acre property something special.
The house itself is placed some 50 metres back from the waterfront on a small rise that gives excellent views over the calm waterway between the outer islands of East Coast Santo where this property is situated.
The solid two bedroom home is furnished for you to walk in and enjoy. It has a fully equipped kitchen with all normal appliances, cooking utensils, cutlery crockery etc and also is fully equipped with linen for all customary needs. On the large covered patio is a magnificent hardwood table for you sit around and enjoy with friends and family and forget how mad the rest of the world is right now.
A recent addition by the present engineer owner is beyond the house in the centre of the block. I mention his previous occupation by way of explanation of the exemplary work that has gone into this truly exceptional building. That it is both cyclone and earthquake proof is immediately apparent (indeed it withstood the strongest Category 5 cyclone ever experienced in the Southern Hemisphere recently without a single item of damage).
Moreover, the building is aesthetically pleasing and looks exactly right in its chosen location. It is 21 metres long by 6 metres wide and comprises a covered work area, a spacious workshop, a double enclosed garage, a storage room and a staff quarter, itself comprising a spacious living/bedroom, kitchen and bathroom toilet. .
There is then an area of rainforest (about half an acre) left in the middle of the property for privacy). Other than that there are lawns and gardens from the waterfront to the gate, some 200 metres away, and the place has an extensive array of tropical plants, notably a very wide variety of hibiscus, some quite rare. Indeed these plants extend along the entire driveway from the gate to the waterfront.
The property has both rainwater and bore water installations; both equipped with automatic pressure pumps. Rainwater is supplied to the house, and bore water (at shallow depth and under good pressure) is reticulated around all garden areas. It is of potable quality and tested in Australia as suitable for drinking.
Only 20 minutes from town (15 km) on a sealed road with mains power, this property is ideal for you whether you simply want to move in and relax - or if you want to expand and build something new. It gives the immediate impression of spaciousness and peacefulness. Yet the basics are all there, and at 2 acres overall it has huge potential for development to suit any purpose, be it private retreat or business, right up to the stage of boutique resort if such was ,intended.
The images of the beach define the quality of this property And in the clear water there are stunning corals and tropical fish that will be the equal to any that are to be found in these islands. Year round, the water will never be much less than 27 degrees.
We have been at length to describe this property because it is probably the best value package we have on offer today and one of the best of its kind that we have handled. And, of course, in present circumstances it will be difficult for prospective buyers to inspect. Nonetheless we draw your attention to it now because it is excellent value, and because from experience we expect this property will sell very quickly as soon as travel restrictions allow the busy tourism of Vanuatu to resume.
In recognition of these present circumstances, the owner has set a very realistic discounted price of AUD$ 500,000 for the property. We would therefore encourage prospective buyers to contact us for further information.
