Lantau For Sale

More and more investors are now looking to Lantau Island for property and it’s become one of the most exciting areas in the region. This is not just because of the variety of housing available, but the sheer quality of life that the island affords those who come here. Lush and verdant throughout, it offers something of a haven if you have become tired of the honk and hustle of city life. Its hills and beaches invite those who are looking for a slower pace of life, where they can be more relaxed. And there’s nothing quite like being able to access the island’s amazing scenery virtually from your doorstep; most locations, even in the island’s towns, are close to nature. There’s the famed Lantau Trail that winds its way through the mountains while the coasts of Lantau provide space for watersports, swimming and just beachside chilling.  

Yet Lantau Island is not just an idyll. It’s also practical if you are wanting to work in the heart of the city. This is because it enjoys excellent connections. From Mui Wo in the north of the island, you can take a direct ferry to the city, while Tung Chung has access to the MTR. Meanwhile there is excellent connectivity with the entire region thanks to the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge. This means that it’s very easy to commute just about anywhere and be back at home by the evening.  

If you are looking for property in Lantau for sale, there is something for every budget. Those who invest here will also enjoy further benefits in that property prices are lower here than they would be in most parts of Hong Kong. Think of it this way: for the same outlay you can enjoy larger floor space than you would in the city.  

Let’s now take a brief look at the varying types of property in Lantau for sale. 

Apartments of every kind are to be found. The simplest are small studios that would be suitable for a student or someone who is starting out on their career. They are to be found in most parts of the island and will tend to be situated in the more urban areas.  

Larger apartments will suit singles and couples as well as those with families. It’s easy to find low-rise apartments that offer more spaciousness than usual. They tend to be found in complexes that will offer residents the use of various amenities. There will probably be a communal swimming pool – ideal for families, although care must be taken as there is no lifeguard – or a fitness center or a restaurant.  

When it comes to apartments in Lantau for sale, there is no ceiling on luxury. Some of the most spacious are also expertly designed throughout and may come with lavish packages that include furnishings and fittings, and so on. Apartments such as these may look as if they have stepped out of glossy magazines; they will be the last word in luxe, as well as having the kinds of view that their owners will never tire of.  

If you need still more space, then it is worth considering a townhouse. These, too, are often to be found in complexes, and will suit larger families or those working from home. As with apartments, they will vary in the degree of luxury that they bring to their owners. Some are located near international schools and will be of interest to expatriate parents.  

Traditional village homes are part of Lantau’s extensive array of properties and can be found in most areas of the island. These houses follow a typical format of having three floors, each measuring some 700 square feet. Many will have outdoor areas such as a balcony or a rooftop patio. Small gardens can also be found. The villages are welcoming places and are all about community; those that live here enjoy neighborliness and a very easygoing approach to life. But as we’ve mentioned already, Hong Kong is never far away, and with village homes to be found in Mui Wo, it’s a cinch to catch the ferry from there. The south of the island is more a getaway destination and there are plenty of village houses to be found here too; these will suit those who have a less pressing need to be close to the city.  

Villas in Lantau for sale are to be found in many areas. Some may be right on the coast and have their own private access to the beach. There is also a plethora of villas close to the beach or which have sea views. Others are to be found on hillsides or in areas that are more remote. The number of bedrooms varies as does the luxury of the villa. Some are quite simple yet elegant, whilst others offer great sophistication.  

If you are looking for land in Lantau for sale, you should also consider the possibility of buying a plot of land and building your own villa. Such homes will showcase their owner’s lifestyle and interests and be unique. Naturally, building regulations need to be respected but there will be a lot of leeway, allowing you to build the house of your dreams.
