Olga's House — Matemwe Kigomani

Welcome to Olga's House, a charming and authentically built Zanzibari home nestled in the peaceful village of Matemwe Kigomani, on the northeast coast of Unguja (Southern Zanzibar). Set on an expansive 1,200 m² plot with 90 m² of living space, this property offers a rare opportunity to own a genuine piece of island life at an exceptional price. GPS coordinates: 5°51'03.3"S 39°21'00.2"E.; Built in September 2025 using traditional coral stone and lime plaster techniques, the house features 2 bedrooms — including a master en-suite with a private veranda — an open-plan kitchen and living area with handcrafted wooden furnishings, and a unique attic loft accessed by a beautifully carved hardwood staircase. Every detail reflects the artisan craftsmanship that Zanzibar is celebrated for: hand-carved doors, decorative mashrabiya-style ventilation screens, natural timber beams, and thatched palm roof accents.; The property comes with its own private well and is fully connected to electricity. A pool pit has already been excavated, ready for completion to your specifications. The generous plot provides ample room for landscaping, a garden, additional structures, or a guest cottage.; Located just a 10-minute walk from the stunning Matemwe coastline — with direct views of the world-famous Mnemba Island — this is one of the most desirable stretches of beach in all of Zanzibar. The area is popular with international tourists, divers, and long-term visitors, making it ideal for Airbnb rental income or a personal tropical retreat.; The house is sold in its current unfinished state (plastering and painting remaining), offering the buyer the freedom to customize finishes, colors, and final touches to their own taste — at a fraction of the cost of a completed property. This is a genuine value opportunity in a rapidly appreciating market.; Contact RBL today to arrange a private viewing or request the full property dossier.
