What are the advantages of buying rural property in Bali? Considering that Bali is one of the fastest-growing real estate markets in the world, it’s no surprise that investors are looking for rural properties to invest in or to make their own. The popular tourist towns of Seminyak, Canggu, Uluwatu, Sanur and Kuta are all but saturated and crowded thanks to high demand, yet there are people who yearn to be amongst Bali’s fabled natural beauty and mesmerizing rice terraces. What better way to appreciate the island, and rejuvenate in its healing ambiance than to be surrounded by virgin lands and quaint Balinese villages? In addition to affordability, there are lots of other advantages to buying rural property in Bali. Let’s take a look at some of the more popular reasons.

Advantages of Buying Rural Property In Bali

Owning a rural property in Bali comes with plenty of advantages alongside opportunities for investors to expand their property portfolio into the quieter side of Bali. Here are just a few:

Affordability

It goes without saying that prices for land and rural property in the less developed areas of Bali would be generally lower than in more popular tourist destinations. This can be a major advantage if you are on a budget considering that real estate is largely driven by location. Lower investments mean you can invest in more rural property, instead of just one in an overdeveloped area.

Space

Imagine what you could do with all that extra space when you own a rural property here in Bali. While Seminyak, Canggu and Kuta are always in demand, these areas lack space due to overdevelopment. Unless you were one of the earlier investors, a congested tourist town means a lack of space and compromise on layout or views. A rural property in most cases would come with more land thanks to affordable rates and under-development. You could expand, grow, build and create something truly unforgettable!

Long-Term Opportunity

The past decades have shown us how quickly areas are being developed all across south Bali. Just 10 years ago hardly anyone had heard of Canggu and look at what a thriving hub it is now! There is opportunity in a rural property in Bali, and while there is no guarantee, the rural property that you’re investing in could potentially increase in value and become high in demand with time. You can invest now in an affordable property and enjoy potential high returns in the future.

Authentic Cultural Experience

Living in a rural property allows you to immerse yourself in the traditional Balinese way of life and experience the island's rich culture firsthand. There is nothing better than waking up in the cool clean morning air with unimpeded rice fields or mountain views and hearing nothing but the waves in the distance or the chirping of the birds. Instead of stressing about traffic, you can enjoy leisurely walks along quiet country roads and be greeted by friendly locals as they go about their day.

How To Find Affordable Rural Areas Houses In Bali?

Rural properties in Bali may be few and far in between, and there could also be disadvantages to living so far away from town. This would include a lack of amenities and facilities and the distance to and from necessities like schools, hospitals, dining, entertainment and supermarkets.

A good compromise would be to choose an area that would give you the best of both worlds – a mix of the charms of rural living and the easy conveniences of modern living. One such area would be Uluwatu, in the southern Bukit peninsula of Bali, home to some of the island’s best white sand beaches. Uluwatu lets you stay close enough to all of today’s modern conveniences and essentials but with openness and space away from the hustle and bustle.
