Overview
A valuable asset is for sale in the South Pacific in Vanuatu. Almost 6,000 hectares (14,826 acres) in two titles. Current Vanuatu governance makes it virtually impossible to ever register such large areas of land leases, in the country, ever again. The property is blessed with natural water, excellent topography for future pastures, trees for natural shade and rich soils for intensive farming.
Location
The property currently supports over 5,000 coconut trees; around 300 hectares of planted pasture; extensive Kava production; and a working Coconut Oil Mill purchased from Muar Bar Lee in Malaysia, the largest producer of coconut oil and palm oil in Asia and Africa.
When fully developed, the property has the potential to support and maintain at least 7,000 head of free-grazing cattle.
The natural topography, together with the North and South coastlines, facilitate two excellent sites for future airports.
Cattle can be barged to the capital city Port Vila in 8 hours. A faster ferry boat, traveling at 22 knots, will reach Port Vila in 3 hours.
Barge
The farm's aluminium barge is included in the sale. Load capacity 50 tons. Length 24 metres. Width 6 metres. 2 x inboard 350 HP Perkins stern leg. Easily accessible beach landing sites on North and South sides of the island.
