Hybrid Value
Island Rock Estate is positioned as both a private coastal lifestyle destination and a strategic long-term beachfront investment. We offer a rare opportunity to own prime beachfront land at accessible entry points, with long-term appreciation built on scarcity and growing international demand.
What Drives the Price
Price is determined by villa size, bedroom count, and beachfront position. Corner and direct beachfront plots carry a premium over garden-view positions.
Key Value Drivers
Scarcity
20 villas on a protected coastline. Once Phase 1 is sold, these positions are gone.
Capital Growth
Early-stage positioning in an emerging international destination with limited comparable supply.
Rental Income
Comparable beachfront villas in Inhambane achieve USD 250–450/night in peak season.

How Ownership Works in Mozambique
DUAT — The Land Right
All land in Mozambique is owned by the state. Buyers acquire a DUAT (Direito de Uso e Aproveitamento da Terra) — a 50-year renewable right to use and develop the land. A DUAT is fully transferable, heritable, and recognised by Mozambican banks as security for financing.
Foreign Nationals
South African and other foreign nationals typically hold their DUAT interest through a Mozambican-registered company (Lda.). This is standard practice and provides a clean, bankable ownership structure. Island Rock's legal team guides every buyer through the registration process.
Title Security
The estate holds a valid DUAT over the full land parcel. Individual villa DUATs are registered with the Jangamo District Authority, providing long-term legal certainty for each owner.
