For Sale: 28 acre paradise.
In Pacific Harbour, Fiji.
![](ph1.JPG)
Pacific Harbour, "the adventure capital of Fiji"
(famous shark diving, river rafting etc.)
Property details
11.5 hectares, ~28.4 acres.
Freehold (fee simple), you own it forever,
as opposed to leasing (lease hold) from the owner.
Ocean view (partial) + views of the Namosi highlands.
Boat access (at high tide, approx. 8 hrs out of 24). Only draft
restricted, no low bridges/pipes to pass under, only the Queens hwy.
The property is the same distance from the beach by boat as is popular
Nokonoko circle and lake front VitiLevu drive (in the central lake area).
An amazing 30 acre backyard for Pacific Harbor villa owners !
Hop in your boat and be there in 15 minutes !
Half is mountain rainforest, half is flat lowland. Sealevel to 50 meters.
The property's location and elevation means that it is tsunami proof,
hurricane surge proof, and sea level rise(global warming) proof,
yet has sea access at high tide ! A future-proof piece of paradise !
I will not venture into realms of cynicism and suggest it will be
'Ocean front' in a few generations, when the rest of Pacific Harbor
is underwater due to sea-level rise ;-( ... though... that is a likely
outcome for the very patient investor's offspring ! The living room floors
in the villas of P.H. are 1m above high tide...(i.e. temporary investments...sadly)
3 acres (thousands) of rare & endangered Sago palms, the most sought
after thatch, highly coveted by all resorts. Can be sustainably harvested.
Fresh, clear creek water for swimming and for boat/engine rinse upon
returning from the sea. Freshwater maintains hull free of marine growth !
Has a temporary "camp" on mountaintop consisting of 3 shipping containers
with new 6KW solar system and 'bathroom'/septic tank.
The Fiji Electric Authority is planning a grid extension to this property.
The property has excellent wireless 4G broadband reception.
A road has been made within the property, down through the rainforest,
to access the lower(sea level) half & creek. Partially graveled, yet unfinished.
Across a 6-10m wide creek is yet undeveloped section "F", Pacific Harbor;
i.e. River drive (paved road) may potentially be only meters away in the future !
'Pacific Harbor' refers to a residential property development managed by 'Pacific Harbour estate management'.
This entails a number of covenants, codes and restrictions, as well as fees. This property, being 'across the creek'
from Pac Harbor, is not affected by such covenants or fees, in fact, there are no taxes or fees whatsoever.
Zoning being 'agricultural' it is also not affected by non-citizen investment rules requiring construction within 2 years.
Only 7% of land in Fiji is freehold, the rest is communally owned by native Fijians, and the government.
It is a precious commodity and has no competition among other tropical 'paradise' nations in the south Pacific,
for the simple reason that they have no freehold land, until you get up to fabulous Hawaii,
but there you can add a zero to the price !
P.S. Fiji has very low labor rates (US$2/hr) = cheap to build houses !
Also, there is no import duty on affordable pre-fab housing or green energy systems.
P.P.S. Fiji is one of the very few countries on Earth with zero active Covid 19 cases in 2020 !
Price: $895K FJD (~US$399,000). Only ~ $31,000 FJD/acre (~US$14,000/acre).
Most affordable boat accessible land in town ! ~ $3 USD per square meter !
Price comp: in Fiji dollars
Most water access (and beach front) land in Pacific Harbor is priced up to $1M/acre.
Even for some barely boat accessible lots behind low bridges etc. (e.g. Great Harbor drive).
Quarter acres for a quarter million...
Water access doubles the price of properties in Pacific Harbour.
i.e. two identical empty lots; a boat access lot, and an identical one across the street
without boat access, will cost e.g. $400k and $200k respectively. Worth pointing out here
is that Our lot is being sold at a substantial discount to a neighbor's lot
that has no water access (or Sea views), and is not 10m from section 'F' Pacific
Harbour (as We are), but is nevertheless on the same "DP"(deposited plan) as us.
The 5 acres in question sold for about $180.000($36000/acre).
-The reason for the surprisingly affordable price of Our property is that it is located a whopping
10 meters away(across the creek) from Pacific Harbour proper, so to 'low bandwidth' people it might
as well be on the moon...;-)... So, an awesome opportunity for 'high bandwidth' individuals. Here you
basically get 28 acres for the price of One(97% off!), simply for being a stone's throw away from the
metropolis of Pac Harbor. But the privacy makes up for it...and the shrieking of the large native Parrots...!
See price comparison map-photo below, hastily compiled, but more or less accurate.
Easily verifiable online.

Locations...and prices.
Can be subdivided.
Clean title!
To summarize: a boat accessible 28+ acre 'lifestyle'- botanical estate,
less than an hour from the Capital by car for way less than FJ$1M !

....also, perfect for Zipline!
+ Many suitable spots for heli-pads.
Also, a great property for a film production company.
Perfect for shooting a remake of "Apocalypse now" ; )
Many different environments; jungle, mountain, open field, palm forest,
creek and jungle river with bat colonies and large parrots. Close to civilization,
yet so far away...

"Copacabana" beach. Low tide. Serene swimming at high tide.
Here, at the limit of the tidal reach, at the convergence of the Mangrove and Sago ecosystems,
the bottom of the creek is sometimes 100% saltwater and the surface 100% fresh! During heavy rains,
when the creek flow becomes heavy, all the water is 100% fresh, and during droughts, at high tide,
mostly salty. Thanks to this fresh water berth You can avoid the cost and hassles of monthly hull cleaning
sessions - or boat trailering, while reaping the benefits of a clean hull. Marine growth simply falls off,
as was the case when I brought the boat here after beeing moored for months in salt water.

The property has approximately 800m of creek frontage.
It surrounds half the property, makes it feel almost like a private Island ! ;-)
