Mango Station stands out as a unique property with several natural and structural advantages. It has direct access to fresh water, an simple house and shed, and a history as a going concern, making it well-suited for redevelopment.
The freshwater resource adds significant value – from practical irrigation and crop support through to recreational opportunities such as floating down the river.

LEGAL DESCRIPTION
- Title: 04/3012/003
- Lessor: Family Moltanaute
- Term of Lease and Commencement: 34 years, commencing 2nd December 2004
About the Land
The subject is roughly rectangular in shape and has a registered area of 63,288 square metres (15 acres), with the following boundary dimensions:
- North East: 205.06 metres to a 10m riparian reserve
- South: 350.00 metres
- South West: 200.00 metres
- North West: 358.98 metres
The land has a rolling contour, being well raised above the riparian reserve to the east, then rising to a levelled building platform with gentle rolling contour further to the centre and again towards the north-west. The centre of the site appears low lying and subject to assumed flooding during heavy rainfall. The site borders the Sarakata River, with a 10-metre-wide riparian reserve running parallel to the eastern boundary. The riparian reserve is predominantly bush cover.
There is a 15-metre-wide access road cutting through the site to the east, providing access to the subject land and the leasehold titles and customary land to the north. A basic two-tyre crushed coral access road is formed from this 15-metre-wide road into the property.
The property includes an industrial shed, which historically housed the main coconut oil factory and additional structures. The remaining land is largely bush with several large trees. Improvements are concentrated towards the southern boundary, with this developed portion fenced with steel posts and chain link netting, and a single gated access from the east. The balance of the land has been cleared of thick undergrowth, leaving some established trees in place. The site is currently maintained regularly.

Why Choose Aore Island
Aore Island
is known for its relaxed island lifestyle, calm turquoise waters, and lush tropical surroundings. Visitors are drawn to its unspoiled beauty, safe swimming beaches, and warm local community. It’s a place where time slows down; you can snorkel over coral reefs, explore the vibrant marine life, or simply enjoy the peace and quiet of a truly authentic South Pacific island. Aore Island is a similar size to Byron Bay, the exact same size as
Port Douglas, and comparable in scale to Apollo Bay in Victoria.
Aore Island is part of Vanuatu in the South Pacific, only a two and a half hour direct flight from Brisbane and just west of Fiji. It sits directly across from Espiritu Santo, the largest island in Vanuatu, making it both easy to reach and perfectly placed for a tropical escape.
Community & Lifestyle
Vanuatu is often called one of the happiest places on earth, where smiles are as natural as the ocean breeze. Life here feels like stepping back in time, to a place where people still greet you warmly in the street, neighbours look out for one another, and the pace of life is slow and genuine. Surrounded by pristine beaches, lush forests, and a culture built on community and tradition, it’s not just beautiful it’s deeply friendly, a place where happiness is measured in connection, not possessions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Buying Land
Can foreigners buy land in Vanuatu?
Can foreigners buy land in Vanuatu?
Yes. Foreigners can legally buy land in Vanuatu under the leasehold system. While the land itself remains owned by the state or traditional landowners, buyers receive long-term leases (often 50–75 years, sometimes up to 99 years) that give full legal rights to use, build on, and transfer the property.
What is leasehold in Vanuatu?
Leasehold means you don’t own the land outright, but you hold a legal lease registered with the Vanuatu government. This lease grants you exclusive rights to occupy, develop, sell, or sublease the property for the entire lease term. Once the term ends, leases are usually renewable by agreement.
How secure is vendor finance in Vanuatu?
Vendor finance is common in Vanuatu. The buyer pays a deposit and then makes regular instalments to the seller until the full price is paid. During this period, the title is held in trust and legally transferred once payments are complete. Contracts are registered, making the process legally binding and secure when managed correctly.
How quickly can I build once I purchase?
In most cases, you can start building as soon as your lease is registered and any required approvals (such as foreshore permits for beachfront land) are obtained. Many buyers begin within weeks, depending on building plans and contractor availability.
