MAKE AN OFFER! If you are looking for privacy and seclusion, along with nice ocean views through shady rainforest trees; if you want solitude, but a short drive to "civilization", then you have found the right place. This unique cottage, built in 2005, has approximately 700sqft of living area including the deck, and sits on three quarters of an acre of freehold land (you own the land) with plenty of room for expansion. It has a spacious sleeping loft and an open floorplan living area that completely opens up onto the oversized front deck. The high ceilings and abundance of louvred windows allow nice cross-breezes to keep the home cool, even on the hottest of days. The cottage is currently standing unfurnished, but we can provide some basic furniture and the kitchen includes a gas range with oven. The bathroom has a flush toilet, washbasin and shower. Water supply comes from a rainwater catchment system into a 5000-litre tank. There is electricity which is ready to be turned on through the Fiji Electric Authority (FEA) and you can use the solar power as backup. A gravel driveway has been put in and some tropical landscaping has been done. There is plenty of space for growing your own tropical fruit trees and vegetables too.
The reason we are selling is that this is a second property we have here at Waidroka.
Waidroka Bay Estates property owners have access to the amenities at Waidroka Bay Resort & Spa, which provides excellent scuba-diving excursions to some of the world's top dive destinations including Beqa Lagoon, snorkelling and surf trips out to world-famous Frigates Passage, Pipes, Serua Rights and many other spots close by. If you have your own boat, a private boat ramp for the exclusive use of Waidroka Bay Estates property owners, is available for your use. The resort, which is only a five-minute walk away, includes a restaurant, bar, big-screen tv/dvd/cd surround sound, pool table, pingpong, library and surf shop. Recent additions to the resort are a swimming pool, outdoor massage tables, gazebo bar and a lovo pit for cooked-in-the-ground meals at special events. You can join others in the community area of the resort to socialize with people from all over the world, or you can be as private and secluded as you want to be in your little cottage nestled in the rainforest.
Nearby Pacific Harbour is a twenty-minute drive away and includes the Fijian Cultural Centre, restaurants, shops, banks, post office, internet cafes, grocery markets, laundromat and a golf course. Waidroka is two hours from Nadi International Airport to the west, and the bustling harbour city of Suva is a one-hour drive to the east. Other activities within driving distance are river tours, village visits and the many adventure day-sails and cruises from Denarau Port.
Obtaining temporary or permanent residency in Fiji is a relatively easy process. You can stay for up to four months at a time just upon entry with your passport, and six months upon request on arrival at Nadi Airport. For residency you will need a police report from your local law enforcement and a medical report from your doctor at your current place of residency, with renewal every three years. Only 7% of the land that is available for sale as foreign investment is freehold, wherein you own the land outright. This availability is shrinking as time goes on, so now is a good time to purchase this great investment.
We are willing to finance the USD$120,000 sale price of this home with 20% down and a 7% note over 10 years, but can be flexible with these terms.
Note: There are NO PROPERTY TAXES in Fiji and there are no home owners association dues at Waidroka Bay Estates. There is a fee of only $200 per year to keep the roads around Waidroka clear and accessible.
