Summary
This is an ideal plot with great potential for someone wishing to develop a hotel, lodge, resort or holiday apartments. The location is within easy reach of Tanzania's main city and airport, yet with a spectacular beach right nearby. The property has a long-term, secure lease.
The land is roughly one acre in size (3,942 sq metres) and is in the district of Kigamboni, south of the ferry from the city of Dar es Salaam. The plot is undeveloped but is securely walled with a borehole supplying water and a storage shed. There are some 40 coconut palms on the land and numerous neem trees. A thick hedge of bougainvillea planted along the main road boundary now gives complete privacy. The lease is valid for a further 92 years, and designates the plot to be used to build a hotel, lodge or apartments; planning permission has already been granted. Ownership is fully documented, a very important consideration when investing in Tanzania.
Description of general area
From Dar es Salaam the plot can be reached by vehicle via the ferry crossing and then along a good tarmac road south 7 kms. Alternatively, there is an impressive bridge a few kms upstream giving easy access to the city or the airport. Kigamboni still has a rural feel after the bustle of Dar, which is one of the most rapidly growing cities in the world. However, the bridge, which opened in April 2016, transformed access to the south of the city, opening up significant development opportunities especially in tourism. Aside from the three beach-side lodges referred to again below, there are no restaurants or hotels catering for visitors at the middle or upper levels of the market in the area.
Specific location
The plot is triangular in shape, with each side between 90 and 100 metres in length. The apex of the triangle is a minute’s walk behind a spectacular white sand beach. The beach is perfect for swimming at all points of the tide, and extends in a curve over several kilometres, with mangrove to the north, a rocky headland visible far to the south, and three beach resorts spread unobtrusively along the sand.
There is a road for vehicles heading to the local resorts along the front wall of the plot, and an access road on the north side. The wall on the south side borders with a neighbouring resort. The nearby village is a five minute walk and has shops, a market, petrol station, etc. Electricity poles run along the roadside, and the lines can be seen in one of the photos.
In short, lots of potential and a great investment! Please contact the seller for further details.
