Vacant land for sale in Silverest, Zambia

There are vacant plots in Lusaka. Then there are vacant plots 2.5 km from the country's largest medical school, 1.84 km from Great East Road, inside a corridor that has been quietly compounding in value for a decade. This is the second one.

Set on 4.0 acres of titled land in Silverest, this is a clean canvas for one of two plays — and the location does most of the heavy lifting on either.

The Land

Flat, dry, and buildable. Zesco power runs along the boundary. A borehole can be sunk within weeks. The existing block structure serves as site office during build-out or staff quarters once complete. Vehicle access is established.

Title: clean, ready for transfer.

The Location

Silverest is one of Lusaka's most consistent growth corridors, anchored by the University of Lusaka (UNILUS) Silverest Campus 2.5 km north. The student population drives year-round rental demand — medical and allied-health students from across the region who pay a premium for safe, modern accommodation. Great East Road sits 1.84 km north, putting central Lusaka, the airport, and the eastern suburbs within easy reach.

Two Ways to Build It

As a private family compound, 4 acres fits a principal residence, two guest cottages, staff quarters, a pool, and meaningful garden — a multi-generational estate within striking distance of the city.

As a development, two plays:

Option A — Five-plot subdivision. Subject to approvals, the parcel supports an indicative five plots: one premium ~2,500 sqm plot plus four ~2,000 sqm plots, with internal road, perimeter wall, and central green. At current Silverest titled plot pricing of K550K–K700K per 2,000 sqm and finished cluster homes at K350K–K450K build cost, the per-unit gross margin sits in the K200K–K400K range. Numbers are tight at asking; they breathe at a negotiated K5M–K5.5M. Family-cluster render is illustrative only.

Option B — High-density student rental. A 60–80 bed student residence operated as one rental asset. Higher upfront capital, longer breakeven, but materially better per-acre yield and lower customer-acquisition cost given UNILUS proximity. Render is illustrative only and requires different zoning approval.

The Boundary Line and Concept Visuals

The boundary overlay is an approximate marketing indication. A registered surveyor's diagram is required for production use. The attached concept visualisations are artist impressions — not representations of any current or proposed construction. Final design, density, unit mix, and subdivision layout would all be subject to local authority approvals.

Asking Price: K6,500,000 (ZMW 6.5 Million)
