Matana South Seas Plantation

Situation
Matana South Seas Plantation has been accurately and exotically described by none other than Captain Bligh of His Majesty's ship Providence, who wrote during his historical journey from Tahiti to Batavia in 1789, "the island of Koro is of good height, it is easternmost of the islands I discovered and passed and recorded in my log book on May 6, 1789, on the Bounty's launch. Nothing can exceed its beauty. I place it in 17° 11' S." The fee-simple title/s to the large landholding estate of 806 acres (whole) described as "Matana Plantation", is contained but contiguous land titles, as follows, being part of Koro Island.

The Landholdings
The map of Koro Island herein shows the position of the extensive northwest landholdings, the harbours of Vatumatau Bay, plus the magnificent beach promontory known as Wailolo Point or Nola Point. The location of the approximate 4 miles of white-sand beach frontage which bounds the whole western frontage to the entire estate is also shown. Only 8% of the land in Fiji is available in fee. All other (92%) is held in trust for the Fijian People.

History
Matana is an extensive former copra-producing estate, of the same type which in Fiji have been acquired and then re-developed for resort and related residential usage in the hands of new owners. The property is one of the few fee-simple or freehold estates on Koro Island. which itself has been untouched by the inroads of time and development, but which falls within a location and climate-belt lending itself to alternate re-development options, as described, subject to the usual authorities' consents. Koro Island has its own airport serviced by Fiji Air, the inter-island airline center.

Topography
Ranging from sea level at the approximate 4 miles of white sand beach frontage to 500 feet above (along the timber-line to the eastern boundary of the estate), the extensive landholding/s possess(es) stunning sunsets, varying contours within valleys, promontories, slopes and flats for alternative re-development options, without any major building constraints.
