Set sail in the Seychelles islands with Eden Island
Situated off the east coast of Africa, the Seychelles islands are a favourite location for recreational and professional sailors looking for holiday property for sale. However, it’s not always easy to accommodate a vessel when shopping for real estate. Each waterfront property on Eden Island comes with a mooring that will also be conveniently maintained when you’re not there.
Eden Island real estate is expertly maintained by the Village Management Association (VMA), with most charges integrated into monthly levy payments:
- Each home comes with an Electrically Powered Vehicle (EPV) that has a one-year guarantee against factory defaults. For everything else that could go wrong with your vehicle, the VMA can organise for EPVs to be serviced, repaired and cleaned regularly (with all charges appearing on your levy statements).
- Homeowners can arrange to have their moorings (boardwalk, pontoon, bollard and even services supply equipment) cleaned, maintained and even insured by paying an initial once-off fee followed by a monthly charge added to their levies.
- All home appliances are accompanied with guarantees to cover any factory faults. Additionally, the VMA can be commissioned to arrange servicing should appliances need to be replaced or repaired.
- All private pools and gardens are kept in pristine condition by the island’s maintenance team, the costs of which are included in monthly levy payments. For housekeeping, the VMA strongly recommends Hibiscus Logistical Services, which offers a comprehensive cleaning, laundry and management solution to ensure that your home is superbly maintained, even once you’ve set sail.
