Mains electricity and water has not yet reached this area but the property is completely self-sufficient with diesel generators, inverter/chargers with battery banks, wind generator and solar panels.

Approved building plans allow 4 more houses positioned along the cliff edge, all out of sight and hearing of each other. Back inland the area has some raised parts where units could be positioned to still have sweeping sea views.

The list of attributes is long:

• No mosquitoes
• Endless fresh water from 2 boreholes which can both supply at a rate of 4,000 liters per hour. Has been tested and could be bottled direct for mineral water. Drink from the tap.
• Huge fish tank full of tilapia, catch your meal.
• Large workshops, staff quarters, toilets, generator room with 2 x 15 kva generators.
• Both houses fitted with 2,5 kva inverter/chargers with large battery banks so that generators only need to run 6 hours per day.
• Water lines with taps everywhere to maintain gardens
• Wooden stairway thru bush down to private beach and separate stairway for the guest house.
• Huge range of exotic fruit and flowering trees planted in various parts of the property.
• Nearest neighbouring buildings/habitation is two kilometres away. Nearest local farms 3 kilometres away, nearest local village 4 kilometres away.
• The most private beaches along the entire coast. No public access to beaches except at low tide from north or south along the beach. Some local villagers are allowed access to beach for fishing.
• Beautiful bush covered islet directly in front of main house with perfect anchorage and entry/exit channel for small boats. This rock has a small cave which is visited by a few families from up-country. It has religious significance and they light candles and pray.
• Fresh water spring on the small beach.
• Cell phone tower close by with excellent coverage from all providers. Both telephone and Internet.
• No Indian House Crows.

The property is situated south of the ferry at Kigamboni and set between existing hotels. The southern neighbour is set in 500 acres of pristine bush and grass lands with an airstrip which can be arranged to be used. A new lodge is opening up on this property but it is almost two kilometres away behind a large headland.
The northern neighbour has 150 acres of thick pristine bush with a well establish small hotel which is two kilometres away and out of sight. The next neighbour north is a small exclusive hotel also with an airstrip. Almost 4 kilometres of coast is taken up by 4 hotel plots all with common boundaries making this the most desirable location along the whole coast.

The area abounds with wildlife: occasional passing lions and hippo but a constant population of bush pigs, waterbuck, bushbuck, duiker, dik dik, leopard, land tortoises, baboons, vervet monkeys, sykes monkeys, black and white colobus monkeys, genet, civet, resident buffalos (6 plus calf), pangolin etc. Fish eagles and palm nut vultures nest in this area while western snake eagles, hornbills, and many more bird species are present.
The beaches are a vital turtle nesting area covered by the Sea Sense program and every year thousands of green turtle eggs hatch in this area. From June thru to October hump back whales migrate along the coast and are often seen offshore. Three kilometres directly offshore is a huge coral reef coming to within 2 meters of the surface. 26 miles directly offshore is Tanzania’s best big game-fishing grounds called Latham Island. This is the closest part of the mainland to this island.

The car-ferry at Kigamboni can be a challenge but fortunately a huge new ferry will be commissioned in September 2008, the road around (Kilwa Road) is being widened into a dual carriageway and there are currently two proposals to build a bridge across the upper reaches of the harbour. The bridge will cause property prices to escalate enormously.
