Prime island location
Positioned on Aore Island in the sheltered and calmest part of the Segond Channel, just minutes from Luganville and under half an hour from Pekoa International Airport.
Be part of a place already in motion
Freshwater Plantation is a fully established 300-acre eco-tourism and working plantation on Aore Island.
This is not raw land or an idea on paper — it is a place already operating, already hosting, already producing.
A small number of ownership shares are now being opened to people who want to participate in its next chapter — through hospitality, farming, food, and the day-to-day life of the estate.
Participation from AUD $290k
A small number of ownership shares for people who want to take part in the running of the place.

Why people stop and pay attention to Freshwater Plantation
This opportunity blends scarce island property, developed infrastructure, tourism appeal, and a lifestyle story that is difficult to reproduce anywhere in the region.
02
Already established
Plantation house, restaurant, accommodation, tours, trails, utilities, solar power, sea walls, workshops, jetty access, and more are already there.
03
Multiple revenue pathways
Hospitality, holiday rental, plantation produce, tours, restaurant trade, and future expansion options create a broader value story than simple landholding.
04
Lifestyle and legacy
Enjoy a private tropical base while also helping steward a working farm and eco-tourism destination with real character and history.
How you can take part
Freshwater is suited to people who want more than passive ownership — those interested in being part of the place, in ways that suit their time, interests, and skills.
Create your own place within the plantation
Secure a designated building envelope (only 3 available) with water views and create a personal island retreat that can also be added to the rental pool.
Take part in the life of the plantation
From hospitality and tours to farming, food, cocoa and coffee production, there are practical ways to contribute to the life of Freshwater.
Step into something already working
Utilities, staff capability, systems, outbuildings, accommodation and working operations are already in place, reducing the friction of taking part.
Why this beats buying a bare block and starting from zero
Freshwater compresses years of setup, risk, and capital into one ready-made ownership pathway. And, because Freshwater Plantation is an extendable state lease, it sidesteps custom owner issues.
Start from scratch
- Buy land separately
- Design and build from the ground up
- Add solar, water, sewer, and access
- Establish landscaping and productive gardens
- Source and manage caretakers
- Wait years before it feels complete

Positioning that resonates...
This offer works because it combines scarcity, romance, pragmatism, and upside in one clear and compelling story.
“It feels like stepping into a place that already has soul — not just buying dirt and hoping one day it becomes something.”
Lifestyle-oriented buyer mindset
“The real value is the years already invested: infrastructure, gardens, reputation, utilities, and visitor appeal. That time can’t be bought cheaply.”
Pragmatic investor mindset
“Freshwater is rare because it can be enjoyed privately while still offering hospitality and tourism possibilities for owners who want them.”
Hybrid lifestyle-business mindset
Frequently asked questions
Some of the questions most commonly asked.
What is the starting price?
Ownership shares start from AUD $290,000, subject to availability and the structure of the selected share offering.
How many shares are available?
Only five shares are being offered, making this a tightly limited release rather than an open-ended development.
Can I build my own bungalow?
Yes. Each share is positioned around a designated building envelope intended for personal use or potential rental participation.
Is this just a lifestyle purchase?
No. The appeal is broader: personal use, tourism, accommodation, hospitality, farm operations, and longer-term value creation can all be part of the story.
The opportunity
More than a property. A platform already in motion.
Freshwater Plantation is a 300-acre estate built around the wonder of tropical farming, authentic hospitality, and eco-tourism. Guests experience cocoa groves, rainforest walks, the Aore Island Bat Cave, waterfront dining, and island accommodation — all from one integrated destination.
The current owner is wanting to slow down and has chosen not to sell the property outright. Instead, a small number of carefully selected participants are invited to share in the next chapter.
For the right person or group, this means immediate access to something that would otherwise take years, substantial capital, and on-ground complexity to create.
