The main house features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, creating a cozy yet functional living space that feels like home the moment you walk in.

Adding to the property’s appeal are two separate living units: a one-bedroom apartment and an independent studio apartment, both equipped with built-in kitchen cabinets and their own bathrooms. These spaces are thoughtfully arranged to offer privacy and independence, making them ideal for long-term rentals, guest accommodations, or extended family. Together, they provide excellent income potential while maintaining the intimate, homey feel of the property.

The area blends everyday convenience with a relaxed island rhythm, offering easy access to beaches, main roads, and local amenities while still feeling tucked away and familiar.

Set on 600m2 of long-lease land, the property offers generous outdoor space that invites creativity, whether for a garden, shaded seating areas, or simply enjoying the tropical breeze. With its warm ambiance, vintage charm, and multiple living spaces, this property is a rare opportunity to own a home that feels both personal and practical, blending island comfort with long-term value.
