Terraced duplex for sale
5-Bedroom Terraced Duplex
Banana Island. $2.5 Million. A Terrace With Its Own Gate. Its Own Compound. Its Own Rooftop. A Jetty at the Water's Edge. C of O. Elevator. 2-Room BQ. The Most Accessible Price Point on the Island. The problem Banana Island has two categories of buyer conversation. The first is the one most people assume happens at this address --- the buyer with unlimited capital and no constraints. The fully detached compound. Four walls to themselves. The price that reflects the fullest possible claim on the island's address. The second is the conversation that actually happens for the majority of serious principals who want this island, this controlled access, this resident profile, this lagoon context --- and who are making a deliberate and rational choice about which specific product type gives them the address they want at the price their capital is structured for. This listing is for the second conversation. $2,500,000. Banana Island Estate. A terraced duplex --- five bedrooms, six bathrooms, seven toilets, an elevator, a rooftop, a 2-room BQ, a self-compound with a gate, parking for four cars, and access to a common swimming pool and a jetty at the island's water edge. One shared wall with one neighbour. Everything else --- the compound, the gate, the parking, the rooftop, the BQ, the elevator, the 2 living rooms --- is private, configured, and yours. The question is not whether Banana Island is the right address. The question is whether this is the right product at the right price point to make the decision today. The agitation Here is what the Banana Island deliberation costs the principal who has been circling this address without committing. Every comparable that has sold on this island in the past 24 months has sold at a higher number than the one before it. The island is finite. The supply is constrained. The resident profile --- the families, the diplomats, the multinational heads, the intergenerational wealth --- does not leave frequently and does not sell at discounts. The island's track record of absorbing naira devaluations, inflation cycles, and political uncertainty without sustained price correction is not speculative. It is documented. The NPC comparables visible today frame the position clearly: A 5-bedroom fully detached duplex in Old Ikoyi --- ₦2.3B (approximately $1.67M). Not on Banana Island. A 5-bedroom Ikoyi mansion --- ₦3.5B (approximately $2.54M). Not on Banana Island. This listing --- 5-bedroom terraced duplex, Banana Island Estate, C of O, jetty, elevator, rooftop --- $2.5M. The Banana Island premium over Old Ikoyi is the controlled access bridge, the island's managed resident environment, the lagoon adjacency, the jetty, and the specific social and security infrastructure that no mainland or non-island Ikoyi address can replicate. That premium is in this price. Every month the principal defers this decision on Banana Island, the market reflects the scarcity that the island's finite land and constrained supply consistently produce. The $2.5M terraced entry is the island's most accessible current price point. It is today. The solution a 5-bedroom terraced duplex in Banana Island Estate, Banana Island, Ikoyi. Self compound. Private gate. Rooftop space. Elevator. 2-room BQ. 2 living rooms. Parking for 4 cars. Common swimming pool and jetty. Certificate of Occupancy. 24/7 power. Full security infrastructure. $2,500,000. Here is what each element delivers --- and what sets this unit apart from both the island's fully detached options and every comparable property priced below this listing: Banana Island Estate --- the island that needs no introduction. Controlled vehicle access at the bridge. A managed residential environment. A resident profile that has defined the upper tier of Lagos's professional, diplomatic, and corporate life for over two decades. The NPC area guide describes it correctly: exclusive, prestigious, with the specific combination of planned infrastructure and curated community that no other Lagos address has replicated. Saying your address is Banana Island requires no further explanation --- in Lagos, in Abuja, or in any international city where the people who live here also have addresses. A terraced duplex with a self compound and a private gate. This is the distinction that separates this unit from a standard apartment building. The compound is self-contained. The gate is private. Your vehicle enters through your own gate, parks in your own compound, and the perimeter of your immediate environment is yours to manage. The one shared wall --- the wall between this terrace and the adjacent unit --- is the only point of physical adjacency with any neighbouring property. Everything else in the land parcel is your compound. That is the terraced duplex configuration that makes a $2.5M price point possible on Banana Island while delivering the private compound experience that the island's fully detached options offer at higher prices. A rooftop space. Accessed from the top floor of the terrace. Private, open, elevated above the Banana Island Estate environment. The specific use of this space is the occupant's to define --- an outdoor lounge, a garden, an entertainment platform, a quiet private elevation with the island's residential landscape and the Lagos lagoon visible in every direction. A rooftop above a private compound on Banana Island, at any price, is an architectural feature that most island properties at any price tier do not offer. An elevator. The building handles vertical movement across all floors. Groceries, luggage, your briefcase after a long day, an elderly parent --- the elevator manages it. In a multi-floor terrace, an elevator converts the building from one that requires stair management to one that simply responds. A jetty. This is the feature that has not appeared in any previous listing across this fifty-two-entry portfolio --- and it is specific to the Banana Island context in a way that no other address in Lagos can replicate. A jetty means water access. The ability to arrive at the property by boat. The lagoon that surrounds Banana Island is accessible from this residence at the jetty level. For the resident who uses water transportation --- speed boats, water taxis, the leisure boats that operate in Lagos's lagoon --- the jetty is a functional daily access point, not a scenic feature. For the social host whose guests arrive from the mainland via water, the jetty is the reception point. On Banana Island, a jetty is the architecture of a life that fully uses the island's primary geographic advantage. A common swimming pool. Shared within the estate's community rather than private to this unit --- which is the corresponding arrangement for the terrace configuration versus a fully detached compound. The pool is available to residents. On Banana Island, where the island itself is managed at community level, a common pool within a well-secured, curated residential estate is a different experience from a shared pool in a standard Lagos apartment building. The environment that surrounds the pool is the estate. The residents who share it are the island's residential community. 2 living rooms. Ground floor social space for receiving guests and hosting at scale. Upper floor family lounge for the private, at-ease version of the household's social life. The separation between public and private social space --- a recurring differentiator throughout this series --- is built into the floor plan here. Both living rooms exist because the developer understood that a 5-bedroom Banana Island home operates at two different social registers simultaneously. 5 bedrooms. 6 bathrooms. 7 toilets. All rooms en-suite. 2-room BQ. Every occupant in this household wakes up to a private bathroom. The 2-room BQ means two dedicated domestic staff quarters --- the household operates with properly configured domestic infrastructure, not compromised arrangements. Seven toilets across the building mean no common area access to bedroom floors for guests. Fitted kitchen. Air conditioning. Pop ceilings. Built-in wardrobes. Tiled floors. Water heater. Guest toilet. The interior finish is complete. Move in. Nothing requires commissioning or sourcing. The property is configured. 24/7 power supply --- standby generator, prepaid meter, borehole, treated water, high-speed internet. Power is continuous and managed. Water is treated and stored. Internet is confirmed. The utilities are operational. Security --- layered and Banana Island-level comprehensive. Security gate. Perimeter fencing. Electric fence. Burglar proof. CCTV. Security gateman. The building's security layers sit within the island's own controlled access security. The bridge is the island's first perimeter. The estate's perimeter is the second. This compound's security is the third. Three independent levels of access control protect this residence. Certificate of Occupancy. The title is individually registered, Lagos State-issued, confirmed, and available for solicitor review today. No upgrade path. No derivation chain. The title is done. $2,500,000 --- approximately ₦3,444,800,943 at current exchange rates. Dollar-denominated. The asset retains its dollar value regardless of naira movement. The entry price for a Banana Island residential address with a C of O, elevator, rooftop, jetty, private compound, and 2-room BQ --- in the most supply-constrained residential address in West Africa --- is $2.5M today. Banana Island does not flood. The island's planned drainage infrastructure, combined with its elevation above sea level and its position above any flood risk scenario that has affected Lagos in recorded history, make it the most physically secure residential address available in Lagos. Smilebay Realties does not list properties in flood-prone areas. This property on Banana Island Estate was assessed against that standard before listing. It passed. The call to action $2,500,000. Banana Island Estate. 5 bedrooms. 6 bathrooms. 7 toilets. Elevator. Rooftop. Jetty. Private compound with gate. 4-car parking. 2-room BQ. 2 living rooms. Pool. C of O. This is the Banana Island residential entry point that is accessible today. The buyer for this property is not comparing it to a house in Lekki or a duplex in Osapa. They are comparing it to the fully detached Banana Island options that are priced $100,000 to $1,000,000 above it --- and deciding whether the one shared wall of a terraced configuration on the island is the correct trade-off for the price differential. For most principals whose capital is structured at $2.5M, the answer is yes. The address is the island. The compound is private. The rooftop is there. The jetty is at the water. The title is clean.
