The Shire Eco Lodge – Mozambique Price: USD 600,000 Location: 100 km North of Maputo, Mozambique Property Overview: The Shire Eco Lodge is a boutique retreat set in wild coastal bushland north of Maputo. Built with sustainability at its core, the lodge consists of three bush camps and cottages designed for low-carbon footprint holidays. Guests once enjoyed surf fishing, whale sightings, birdwatching, and 4x4 drives to nearby lakes. Important note: The lodge has not been operational for several years. While the infrastructure remains, it requires refurbishment, upgrades, and reactivation to bring it back to full working order.
