Elena's House — Nungwi

Welcome to Elena's House — a stunning, income-ready guesthouse in the heart of Nungwi, one of Zanzibar's most sought-after tourist destinations. This beautifully designed two-story residence sits on a generous 575 m² plot (23 x 25 m) and is located just a 12-minute walk from the world-famous Nungwi Beach. Built in December 2022, the property is fully operational with an active tourist license, making it an exceptional turnkey investment. The ground floor features three individually themed guest rooms — the serene Grey Room (13.5 m²), the warm Yellow Room (13.5 m²), and the spacious Grey Room 2 (15 m²) — each with its own en-suite shower with hot water. The fully equipped kitchen (15 m²) includes a refrigerator and stove, while the dining area showcases authentic African decor with handcrafted wooden furniture and zebra-skin accents. A utility room (7 m²) with a safe provides secure storage. The second floor houses two premium guest rooms — the vibrant Green Room (15 m²) and the expansive Turquoise Room (27 m²), Zanzibar's signature color brought to life with hand-carved wooden headboards, African art, and turquoise-painted furniture. The Pink Room (15 m²) offers warm peach tones and private balcony access. Every room features ceiling fans with pre-installed electrical wiring for air conditioning, allowing easy future upgrades. All beds are a generous 205 x 155 cm. Outside, the property boasts a magnificent private swimming pool (5 x 4 m, depth 1.40–1.75 m) adorned with artisan mosaic stone tiles, surrounded by tropical landscaping with banana palms and croton plants. The poolside lounge area with handcrafted furniture and decorative sea-creature wall art creates the perfect setting for relaxation. A separate household unit (5 x 3 m) contains a second kitchen with oven, refrigerator, washing machine, pool equipment, and dual voltage stabilizers (15A three-phase and 5A single-phase). The property is entirely self-sufficient with a 26-meter private well producing laboratory-tested drinking-quality water, a 3,000-liter rooftop water tank, and irrigated flower beds throughout the grounds. The third floor (96 m²) currently houses technical installations but is structurally designed for full expansion — walls and floors are engineered to support an additional living floor. With on-site parking, complete documentation including a Sale Agreement and Letter from Sheha, and safes in every room, Elena's House represents a rare opportunity to own a fully operational boutique guesthouse in Zanzibar's premier beach destination.
