15 Acres on Santo Island with Fresh Water Access and Shed  Rare Opportunity

Acreage Living Close to Fresh Water

About the Property With generous acreage, the property also lends itself to more creative ventures. Imagine cultivating a thriving kava farm across the fertile land, riding horses along open clearings, or designing a retreat space high on the hillside. From this elevated position, ocean views filter through the trees, offering a tranquil setting that blends productive use with peaceful island living.

Property Details Property ID: 003NBVS Mango Station stands out as a unique property with several natural and structural advantages. It has direct access to fresh water, an simple house and shed, and a history as a going concern, making it well-suited for redevelopment. The freshwater resource adds significant value – from practical irrigation and crop support through to recreational opportunities such as floating down the river. Combined with the property’s existing infrastructure, Mango Station is ideal for an agritourism venture, offering potential for quad bike trails, eco-retreat spaces, and a broader guest experience.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION
  • Title: 04/3012/003
  • Lessor: Family Moltanaute
  • Term of Lease and Commencement: 34 years, commencing 2nd December 2004

About the Land The subject is roughly rectangular in shape and has a registered area of 63,288 square metres (15 acres), with the following boundary dimensions:
  • North East: 205.06 metres to a 10m riparian reserve
  • South: 350.00 metres
  • South West: 200.00 metres
  • North West: 358.98 metres
The land has a rolling contour, being well raised above the riparian reserve to the east, then rising to a levelled building platform with gentle rolling contour further to the centre and again towards the north-west. The centre of the site appears low lying and subject to assumed flooding during heavy rainfall. The site borders the Sarakata River, with a 10-metre-wide riparian reserve running parallel to the eastern boundary. The riparian reserve is predominantly bush cover. There is a 15-metre-wide access road cutting through the site to the east, providing access to the subject land and the leasehold titles and customary land to the north. A basic two-tyre crushed coral access road is formed from this 15-metre-wide road into the property. The property includes an industrial shed, which historically housed the main coconut oil factory and additional structures. The remaining land is largely bush with several large trees. Improvements are concentrated towards the southern boundary, with this developed portion fenced with steel posts and chain link netting, and a single gated access from the east. The balance of the land has been cleared of thick undergrowth, leaving some established trees in place. The site is currently maintained regularly.
