About this property

background Information

Nestled in 2 acres of magnificent landscaping with very dramatic Ocean views.

One of the best houses on Taveuni with stunning views to match and at a priced to sell.

This tropical residence is six years old and is set on two acres of freehold land in a natural amphitheatre-shaped block that frames a panoramic view of the majestic Somosomo straits and neighbouring islands.

It is set in some of the finest gardens you could find in Fiji, this pole home features unparalleled ocean views from every room. Entry to the main pod is via heavy timber double doors leading from the portico into the spacious central open-plan living/dining and entertainment room which features a fully equipped kitchen and powder room and flows

effortlessly through handcrafted wooden bi-fold doors onto expansive covered decks.Two bedroom wings are connected on either side of the main building via covered walkways that hovers above tropical gardens. The expansive master bedroom features a large walk in robe and ensuite with atmospheric outdoor shower, a sitting room and private deck. The second bedroom also has an ensuite, outdoor shower, sitting room and private deck.

The three pods are all interconnected by a 50 meter covered deck/walkway which flows onto a a six metre hexagonal sundeck set in its own amphitheatre of lush tropical gardens making it a magical place to relax at the end of the day and watch some of the most amazing sunsets you will ever see.

There is some exquisite attention to detail with a Fijian flavour – traditional magi magi weaving decorates the hardwood beams and joints in the exposed roof structure of each building and all bench tops and cabinetry is beautifully crafted from local timbers.

A stone path between the main pod and second bedroom descends through Palm gardens to a downstairs laundry, utility/storage room and a third bedroom/study with toilet and hand basin. This area has another 50 metre deck which is effectively under the house and leads onto expansive manicured lawns and gardens with a tropical orchard which includes, Tahitian

limes, lemons, mandarins soursop, avocado, passion fruit, pineapple, pawpaw and coconut trees.

The entire two acres are fully landscaped and feature the colours of Taveuni which is known as the garden island of Fiji. At the Northern end of the boundary is a water course which over the millenniums has been carved out of lava flows and in periods of heavy rain in the mountains the stream turns into an inland waterfall which is spectacular to view. There is a Fijian style thatched bure on a rock formation which was built to view this phenomenon and also enjoy a sundowner as the sun sinks into the sea, an amazing sight.

This Turn Key residence is ready for occupation, fully outfitted with quality furniture and fittings. A state of the art solar system provides 24 hour electricity with a backup 6.5 KVA Lister generator should it be required. The hot water system is also solar with gas cooking facilities including a Weber Barbecue.

The natural amphitheatre in which the house sits maximises privacy- the only sound you will hear are the rustle of the coconut trees, the various bird calls, the lapping of the ocean and the gentle gush of the nearby water course when it runs.
