The house comprises 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms set on an acre of lush tropical gardens. This home is for sale complete, fully furnished with chattels. The house is fully equipped including linen, towels and pillows; crockery, glasses and cutlery for 12 to 20 people. To complete the package the owners will include their Mitsubishi Outlander 4X4.

The house was built by the current owners in 2011 with the help of a registered architect, qualified builder and an experienced team craftsmen. The house is built on concrete pillars to catch the sea breezes during the day and mountain breezes at night.

Kitchen

The large kitchen has granite counters, a double sink, an island with a gas hob, a Miele double electric oven, large fridge/freezer with water dispenser, a larder and ample storage space as well as a kitchen balcony for the barbeque.

The large living/dining room has a marble dining table and three-piece lounge suite. The veranda has a dining table, cane chairs and settee and a double hammock. The upstairs is tiled with travertine marble floor tiles throughout. Most of the upstairs is served by North American and local sockets.

Master Bedroom

The master bedroom has a walk-through wardrobe and ensuite bathroom with a stand-alone bath and shower.

Bedrooms 2 & 3.

A large bathroom serves the other 2 bedrooms, one of which has a fold-away office and two single beds that can double up as bunk beds. The 3rd bedroom has a queen size bed and opens onto the veranda.

Garage, Workshop & Amenities

Downstairs along with the garage is a very well stocked workshop, again with both 110 and 240 volt circuits.

There is a fourth bedroom downstairs with handbasin, a garden store stocked with tools, a bathroom with shower and laundry, and a bamboo store for the batteries, gas bottle and an overflow fridge for all your fresh fruit. At the back of the property is a 20-foot container with more storage space and some spares.

A 4-person spa pool is alongside the walkway. There are 24 solar panels on the roof and 3 new powerful lithium batteries, so there is never any shortage of electricity.

The house was built with both 110 and 240 volt wiring, giving you flexibility in what appliances you want to bring. The 3 new (2019) lithium batteries and 24 solar panels give more than enough electricity, even on cloudy days. And if there was ever a time when these were not enough, we have a reciprocal arrangement with our neighbours to draw on their panels.

Garden

In the garden there are mature fruit trees – mangoes, pineapples, avocados, star fruit, cinnamon trees, 3 types of bananas and 2 types of papaya, and, of course, coconuts.

Water is provided by Taveuni Estates and collected from springs up in the mountains. Again, our wonderful and generous Canadian neighbours have 2x20,000L rain collection tanks that they have also linked to our property in case of shortages. We have a general-purpose filter on the incoming main, and we drink the water from the taps. The house is located on the large and natural Taveuni Estates (www.taveuniestates.com) with an extensive road system, twice weekly rubbish collection, managed verges, as well as the water supply. We pay an annual service charge for this.
