Lovely Beachfront Property on Menai Bay, Unguja Ukuu, Zanzibar

Panoramic views, spectacular sunsets, a white sand beach, and xx meters of ocean frontage on this one-acre (4317 sqm) plot overlooking the beautiful Menai Bay marine reserve. The property---a large grassy meadow ranging along the shoreline—is ideal for private villas or a small hotel with 8-10 beach view cottages. It comes with complete architectural plans, all building permits, and the foundation for a spacious and airy 4 bd/4 bath home with a broad verandah and a large open-air teahouse on top. (There’s enough room for a pool and an additional villa or two.) An old orchard in the back of the property produces delicious limes, papaya, mangos, and other fruits. Freshwater is available from an inland well (which comes with the property.) Electricity is nearby and there is a modern outhouse (with septic tank) and storage/guard shack on the property. It’s ready to build! The setting is tranquil and very private with few neighbors. Except for an occasional fisherman strolling home, almost no one uses the beach.
Turtles, dolphins, and migrating whales are frequently spotted in the bay. Migrating birds nest on the mostly uninhabited offshore islands that you can see from the property and easily visit by boat. Fishing, kayaking, excellent scuba and diving sites, flourishing mangroves, leisurely bicycle tours around the forested Unguja Ukuu peninsula, and cultural and historical treasures are all to be enjoyed in the vicinity. It’s approximately 30 km to the airport or Stone Town, 25 km to the East Coast, and about 1 km from a classical and welcoming Zanzibari village.
