Description


Welcome to Lapita Plantation: A Unique Blend of Beauty and Opportunity

Discover the charm of Lapita Plantation, a sprawling 670-acre haven boasting over 300 meters of pristine white sand beach and protected deep-water access for barge landings. This versatile property encompasses a harmonious mix of cattle ranching, hydroponics, coconut production, and tourism. While the current owners have enjoyed a lifestyle farm experience, the potential for agricultural growth remains untapped.
Cattle Operations
Since 2008, the owners have focused on enhancing the genetics of their cattle herd, producing a robust ‘Vanuatu Composite’ breed that blends Brahman, Charolais, and Simmental qualities. With strong relationships with local cattle buyers, sales occur biannually, ensuring a steady market. The property is well-equipped for cattle farming, featuring fencing, a well with a capacity of 30,000 liters per day, cattle troughs, a barge landing, and a cattle yard with a raceway to the landing. A minor upgrade to the cattle yards would further enhance operations.
Hydroponics Innovation
The 800 m² hydroponic facility features two spacious greenhouses, currently yielding popular crops such as mint, basil, parsley, bok choy, and especially lettuce, which is a top seller. Established in 2018, this venture has shown impressive growth, providing fresh produce to the nearby township of Luganville. Recently transitioning from wholesale to retail, the plantation now operates its own refrigerated sales trailer, enhancing its reputation for quality produce. There remains significant scope for expansion in this thriving sector.
Scenic Farm Landscape
Embracing the natural beauty of Lapita Plantation, the current owners have enjoyed rural life amidst the property’s divided nine paddocks, each with water access. Central to the farm is the main staff accommodation and storage facility, a sturdy 440 m² concrete building rated for cyclones and earthquakes. The diverse paddock landscape includes coconut groves, grazing areas, and wooded sections that can be cleared for additional cattle production.
Sustainable Solar Power
Lapita Plantation operates off-grid, relying entirely on renewable energy from a central solar power station, supplemented by a backup generator. The system includes 24 kW of solar panels and a secure, air-conditioned room for the inverter batteries, ensuring reliable power for the plantation, hydroponics facilities, staff quarters, sheds, and the main house.
Manager’s Beachfront Residence
The manager’s house, currently under renovation, offers a stunning 220 m² beachfront abode featuring two bedrooms. With magnificent views of the neighboring island of Espiritu Santo, the residence includes a spacious outdoor entertainment area and a dedicated outdoor gym or yoga space. Each room offers breathtaking beach vistas, enhancing the allure of this remarkable property.
Comprehensive Equipment Package
Lapita Plantation comes fully equipped, available on a walk-in, walk-out basis. The sale includes a boat, a Land Cruiser, tools, essential farming equipment, and everything necessary for hydroponics. Please note that, as the current owners will continue operating the farm until sold, the equipment list is subject to change.
Embrace the potential of Lapita Plantation, where natural beauty meets agricultural opportunity. Whether you seek a lifestyle change or a thriving business venture, this extraordinary property awaits your vision.

Lapita Plantation offers remarkable potential for future development, with existing approvals for the subdivision into 5-acre lifestyle blocks. Comprising 12 titles — including 10 beachfront properties, the manager’s house, and the main farm area — the possibilities for growth and enhancement are extensive. Here are several key opportunities to explore:
