Melasti Oceanfront Villa — A Four-Bedroom Family Home That Also Earns
Budget
$485,000 turnkey on an owner-supplied plot — a larger four-bedroom layout with a 12-metre pool, staff quarters and a dual-key lock-off suite for flexible rental.
Timeline
11 months from design sign-off to handover. The dual-key suite was Frigate's recommendation — it lets the family occupy the main house while the suite keeps earning.
Result
Handed over fully furnished and rental-listed. In its first year the lock-off suite alone covered the villa's running costs; the main house earns on top during the eight months the family is away.
Yield / ROI
6.8% net yield on the rented portion — modest by design, because this is a lifestyle asset first. The appreciation case is stronger: oceanfront Melasti land is up sharply since handover.
“We did not want a pure investment box and we did not want a house that sits empty and costs money eight months a year. Frigate designed for both. The suite pays the bills; the house is ours when we are here. That balance was their idea, not ours.”
