It’s the perfect starter home for couples or small families. Meanwhile, in Umalas, the 4-bedroomed Villa Mina is a sublime haven, away from the every day with seamless living and dining areas and smooth tropical-inspired décor.

The best vacations are the ones that would give you plenty of opportunities to enjoy not only what the destination has to offer, but also the accommodation.   If you were vacationing with your family and your extended family, it would be ideal to stay in an accommodation that could cater to all ages. Given the age difference and differences in interests, it would be just perfect to set up camp at one of Bali’s most beautiful, luxurious, and spacious villas. This way, little children could spend all their time exploring the countryside while the less adventurous folks can relax and enjoy all the luxuries that the villa has to offer.   Introducing Villa Olite   Villa Olite is a hidden gem in the heart of Umalas. It stands out in the distance, even as you enter a private driveway off Jl. Bumbak. The villa is a modern fort of luxury, towering three stories above the surrounding paddy fields. It gives you the impression that you are to stay at a palace of an ancient rice kingdom — where you will be the king.   The villa features a modern architecture that is a cross between a cozy cafe and a mansion. The redwood and marble flooring, floor-to-ceiling windows, and enormous rooms adorned with granite ornaments are all supported by solid black steel beams and support bars.   All around the villa are plenty of shady spots where you can enjoy family dinners, midday conversations, and naps. In the shady parts of the swimming pool, the kids can swim in the cool of the shadow, away from the glare of the Bali sun.   Three floors of spectacular views   Wherever you are in the villa, you will enjoy spectacular views of the Balinese countryside. The garden thrives with an expanse of manicured grass and indigenous Bali trees and plants, such as the frangipani trees, which fragrant flowers fill the evening air.   A wraparound balcony runs the length of the house on the first floor, offering 360-degree views of ricefields and vegetable farms that are visible just beyond the property wall. This view can also be enjoyed from some of the bedrooms and even bathrooms.   The upper floor offers you even more elevation and unobstructed views of Umalas. Enjoy the view from a marble-covered viewing platform, under the shade of a traditional gazebo roof. There’s even space for a bonfire, so if you’re in the mood, you can sit with your friends and loved ones on the outdoor couch at nighttime and enjoy a gorgeous fire under the Bali sky.   Visit Villa Olite, a stunning and uniquely designed leasehold villa in Umalas.

Here at Bali Coconut Living, many of our villas are beautiful retreats in the Bali countryside with gorgeous tropical gardens and stunning bedrooms overlooking ricefields and with an unimpeded view of the Bali horizon.   But today we’d like to tell you a little bit about Villa Mirabella, which is a little bit different.   A medium-sized villa built in the heart of thriving Seminyak, this one-of-a-kind holiday home is nestled on 209 sqm of lush green land. A longtime member of the upmarket Seminyak neighborhood, Villa Mirabella shares a private entrance with other villas that are within the same compound.   A stunning 3-bedroom villa, it is now available for sale at a fantastic price of IDR 3.900.000.000 (as of January 2021). It is available for permanent ownership with a freehold title, which brings great value both in terms of financial security and returns.   The villa has several impressive features that you will find interesting:   A pool in a private corner   Villa Mirabella comes with a small, yet inviting swimming pool, with great potential to be turned into a large-size jacuzzi, perfect for those who love to soak in warm water under the magnificent Bali sky.   A twin-bed room   Villa Mirabella was designed for weekly and monthly rentals. However, once the villa is yours, and you’ve moved in with your family, this room will be ideal for young children. Otherwise, the twin beds can be replaced with a queen-size bed to accommodate an older child or even guests!   Great location in the center of Seminyak   Jalan Petitenget is one of the most famous roads leading towards Seminyak. It is home to plenty of exciting cafes, bars, shopping, spas, and restaurants. If you’re looking to live in the thriving heart of this extremely popular area, then you’re in luck. Located within a private Gang (alley) just off this lively road, you can simply walk to some of the best restaurants, bars, and cafes in both Seminyak and Petitenget.

Berawa offers great value for tourists and for people who simply want to enjoy retirement. Coupled with a freehold land title, you can invest and manage a villa business and earn great profits. Having freehold ownership of a villa in Berawa is a great thing, and in this article, we’ll tell you why.   Before you continue reading though, it is important to note that only Indonesian citizens have the right to own freehold property. If you are not of Indonesian nationality, you are still able to invest in a leasehold property, which gives you the right to sublet and earn profits at a margin of perhaps 15% at a 50% occupancy rate.   There are many benefits to having a freehold title. You can gain full control of the property, making improvements and therefore increasing the price substantially more. It is definitely easier to sell to other people with a freehold title (Sertifikat Hak Milik, SHM), as you are able to lease or sell completely. You can have peace of mind, knowing that the land price will increase throughout your lifetime, giving you a form of retirement benefit, in the form of assets or, when sold, cash.   Why choose a freehold villa in Berawa?   Berawa offers great value for tourists and people who simply want to enjoy some peace and quiet. As land prices are reaching all-time highs in Seminyak, and not to mention the prices of everything else, younger tourists and adventure-seeking visitors are moving westward along the shoreline in search of more affordable rentals, hotels, and attractions, while staying close to the great surf and sandy beaches that define Bali as a top international destination.   Following this trend, Berawa is projected to be fully developed like Seminyak within 10 years. As of now, it is already a lucrative area for many businesses. Even villa owners who own villas inland can enjoy a piece of the action. Berawa still offers an atmosphere of serenity, with its preserved rice farming culture that many long-term visitors adore.   Freehold villa for sale: Villa Casa de Campo   Have a look at this charming 3-bedroom villa on a generous 400 sqm parcel. It is a villa with separate en-suite bedrooms that share a manicured lawn, swimming pool, gazebo, and outdoor lounge. This villa makes a perfect family vacation home, making this a potential investment possibility. Casa De Campo is on the market for sale, so contact Bali Coconut Living today.

Seminyak is a town that enjoys an exquisite reputation, having received thousands of upmarket visitors every year for decades. It’s also a zone of fierce competition among fine establishments, such as 5-star hotels, luxury villas and apartments, beachfront restaurants and clubs, and world-renowned local brand shops.   This, of course, has driven land prices to a record high and anyone wishing to invest in a holiday rental to make a steady income stream off this tourism destination will have to be prepared to pay in cash.   How much does it cost to own a luxury villa in Seminyak?   Let us start with a few benchmarks on what a luxury villa in Seminyak would look like. A basic feature of a luxurious home is that there is a private swimming pool and also plenty of room around the margins between your building and the neighbors’. There should be enough space for a patch of garden or a tree to grow.   Based on the above descriptions of a Seminyak luxury villa, we’ve sampled seven different villas and their freehold prices below: Villa Name: Villa Tanya Land Size: 150 m2 Number of Bedrooms:  1 Freehold Price: IDR 3,800,000,000 Villa Name: Villa Puriti Land Size: 200 m2 Number of Bedrooms: 2 Freehold Price: IDR 4,600,000,000 Villa Name:Villa Kifa Land Size: 200 m2 Number of Bedrooms: 2 Freehold Price: IDR 4,725,000,000 Villa Name: Villa Romeo Land Size: 300 m2 Number of Bedrooms: 4 Freehold Price: IDR 6,300,000,000 Villa Name: Villa Valencia Land Size: 190 m2 Number of Bedrooms: 3 Freehold Price: IDR 6,900,000,000 Villa Name: Villa Rofa Land Size: 620 m2 Number of Bedrooms: 8 Freehold Price: IDR 13,000,000,000 Villa Name: Villa Boston Land Size: 850 m2 Number of Bedrooms: 8 Freehold Price:IDR 20,000,000,000   The price of each square meter for each property varies between IDR 20 million to IDR 25 million, with the highest being IDR 36 million per square meter. It is important to note that this number is just an estimate, and may not reflect the value or price of any specific property in Seminyak.   There are also other factors at play that contribute to the price of each property. For example, Villa Valencia is located at the beachfront, and guests are able to simply walk to the beach. The interior of Villa Tanya uses some of the best decorative materials and advanced lighting techniques have been implemented here by the architect.   If you want to make comparisons between more properties, simply head over to the homepage of Bali Coconut Living and use the Find Property filter.

Some people who are eligible to own a freehold property are still taking long-term leases, especially on properties in Canggu. Why is it a good idea?   Benefits of leasehold villas   Leasing is a strategy that many property investors use to enter the villa rental business without risking their money on one location or property. Some do so to test out the waters and to determine if the market rental price to leasing cost ratio offers sustainable profit in a certain location.   If an investor discovers that the earnings are smaller than they had expected, they are still able to sell their leasehold rights and look for other opportunities to deploy capital.   More benefits of leasehold villa in Canggu   Leasing gives more flexibility, not to mention liquidity as smaller up-front costs are incurred. While you are responsible for making minor repairs, you are not fully responsible for any damages to the property due to, for example, natural disasters.   Subletting leasehold villas is legal in Bali, provided that you have made an agreement with the landlord, and that the villa is certified as a holiday rental property. This gives you access to around 15% ROI. In fact, this is how many foreigners make their money in Canggu (and many other places in Bali), as they are not eligible to own land in Indonesia.   Some caveats of leasehold villa   The only caveat is that most leasehold agreements are paid in cash since it’s impossible to get a mortgage for leaseholds. This does not mean you cannot negotiate for payments in installments, although this may significantly impact your ROI.         Find a list of leasehold properties in Canggu   Bali Coconut Living is a property agent, consultant, and villa asset manager that seeks to benefit investors, owners as well as buyers. We offer an extensive list of both freehold and leasehold properties, such as the list of leasehold villas in Canggu.   Contact us for more information on exquisite property sales.

Here is what life in a villa in Umalas looks like: A private life in reclusion, but close enough to exciting places. It’s a balanced lifestyle in a villa in Umalas. “The Bali Dream” is a permanent vacation lifestyle that incorporates work into the blissful tropical villa life that many have sought after. We may have Tim Ferris to blame for suggesting that it is possible to set up an online business and a remote working policy and to generate passive income to be spent on affordable housing in Southeast Asia.   Now it seems that many people are working to reach that specific lifestyle. On the other side of the coin, property investors are taking an interest in the financial opportunity of owning a villa in Umalas, Bali.   But let us not talk about the obvious financial advantage of investing in a Bali villa. What about the lifestyle itself? Let’s examine the Bali villa lifestyle.   Owning all the space and time in your private villa   After a night socializing on the town, a soft bed in your own villa is a sight for sore eyes. A villa is a place to rest, recover, and relax, a place where you can truly be yourself. A rest day (or a rest week?) is in order after spending time exploring the island. Perhaps during your travels, you realize that your villa offers everything you need in a home — natural sights, glistening pool, day beds, and entertainment.   More than a place to stay   What is the difference between a house and a villa? A villa has everything that a house has, and a lot more. The feeling of staying in a villa can be summarized with two words — intentionally luxurious. A house may be simply a place to live and work, efficient but comfortable. A villa, on the other hand, doesn’t often prioritize efficiency, rather seeking to indulge one’s senses in the luxurious. What architecture and decorations will induce the greatest feeling of happiness? This question defines what a villa should be.   Close to many interesting places   Villa Miracle 3 is a beautiful single bedroom villa in Umalas complete with a private swimming pool. Umalas has lots to offer if you love a stroll in the neighborhood as you can find interesting and quirky restaurants, cafes and pubs, or small clubs. Umalas also lies at the crossroads leading to Seminyak, Berawa, and Kerobokan, making the area accessible and convenient.   Looking for a private villa in such a lovely place? Villa Miracle 3 could be your miracle chance encounter. Let us know if you’d like to inspect with us.

Looking to buy the tropical luxury villa of your dreams here in Canggu, Bali? It could be as easy as 1-2-3! Here is the best way to go about it. If you’re looking to buy real estate, property, and villas freehold or leasehold here in Canggu, Bali, then you’ve come to the right place. Bali Coconut Living is not just a property agency, but a team of passionate real estate professionals who would love to help you find your new home, land, or property here in Bali. Whether you are looking to buy or sell a property, we are here to listen and assist. In many other parts of the world, purchasing your dream villa could be as easy as putting in an offer, waiting to receive the good (or not so good) news, and then receiving the keys to your front door! Unfortunately, the property landscape here in Bali and in Indonesia isn’t as straightforward as we’d all like it to be, thanks to the complicated local property laws. The first thing to know is that foreigners aren’t legally allowed to own land or property in Indonesia. With such laws in place, how could you ever see your dream of owning a Canggu villa in Bali coming true!? Don’t worry. We’re here to help you out. Basically, there are legal ways for you to own your dream slice of paradise. You have two options: the first is long-term rental, or you can set up a foreign-owned company registered here in Indonesia. With a long-term rental, you can lease a property for up to 25 years and extend it up to 70 years. Thereafter, the land and the villa is returned to the owner. Here are more helpful tips on how you can soon buy your very own villa in Canggu: Make sure you go through the proper channels. Indonesia is a very bureaucratic country and it takes its property laws very seriously. Do not try to cut corners or take “the easy way out”. Remember that foreigners aren’t allowed to own property in Indonesia, so when it comes to buying your villa, do not try to use a local person’s name to act as the owner “on paper”.  We’ve seen many people try to do this and lose more than just their money. Remember that every building should have a Building Permit (IMB), so do not purchase a villa if it does not come with an IMB. Remember to always choose a location where you would personally love to live. If you as a foreigner love the location, then chances are other foreigners and visitors to the island would love it too in case you plan to rent out (or sell) your villa in the future. As a rule of thumb, convenience is key, as most people won’t want to travel too far to get to the town centre, schools, shopping, or to the beach. To ensure that your entire villa purchase process is as easy as 1-2-3, partner with a reputable property agent such as Bali Coconut Living. We have an excellent track record in assisting our clients in finding their dream villas and we’ll be with you every step of the way so you won’t ever feel like you’re in the dark! Bali Coconut Living is a Seminyak-based villa property agent that is always ready to assist you in buying, selling, or even maintaining a villa for passive income.

Looking to buy the tropical luxury freehold villa of your dreams here in Seminyak, Bali? You’ll find it right here with Bali Coconut Living. When purchasing a villa in Bali, you will come across terms like “Leasehold” and “Freehold”. If you’re new to the property landscape here in Bali and are looking to purchase a beautiful Bali villa for yourself, then it would probably be a good idea for you to know and understand the difference between a leasehold property and a freehold property.   Leasehold means property that you rent for the long-term. With a long-term rental, you can lease a property for up to 25 years and extend it up to 70 years. Thereafter, the land and the villa is returned to the owner. This would be the perfect option for foreigners who would like to build or rent a Bali villa but are unable to purchase any property due to strict Indonesian property laws.   Freehold means Bali property or villas that can only be purchased by domestic/Indonesian citizens, investors, or entities. However, if you’re a foreigner with a KITAS / KITAP, you will be able to purchase 1 freehold property under the Hak Pakai or Right To Use structure with a Freehold title.   Remember that in addition to price, there are a few points to really consider before purchasing a Bali villa and one of them is definitely the location. It would be best if you select a location that is already popular with tourists such as Seminyak or Canggu.   So if you’re looking for the best freehold villas here in Bali, you’ll find them here with us at Bali Coconut Living.

By 2021, you should have  a leasehold villa in Berawa. It presents an excellent opportunity for investment, and you are able to earn passive income from managed villas. It’s amazing that a small flower such as Narwastu, a Hindi word for vetiver, can contain an incredibly diverse range of aromatic experiences. Likewise, Villa Narwastu is a single villa that is packed with endless possibilities.   This leasehold villa in Berawa sits on 1200 square meters of land, which is impressive considering that it is centrally located in Berawa, Canggu, very close to the wonderful culture, yet well-distanced within one of the private alleyways to offer some privacy and peace of mind.   What can a land of this size offer? Villa Narwastu is a 5-bedroom villa and is currently on lease until 2038 and extendible. This presents an opportunity for both investors and home seekers.   The 5-bedroom wonder villa for leasehold   The villa is reminiscent of a cathedral. It is two stories high, but each floor offers incredibly tall ceiling height, giving way to natural sunlight that floods through the wall of windows that line alongside the east and west sides of the building. You can also open these windows to allow fresh morning air, delivered to you from the Indian Ocean.   The straightforward design is sturdy yet aesthetic. The abundance of wooden and glass on the second floor and solid stone that lines up along the walls on the first floor are reminiscent of a ship. Residents sleep on the second floor, in bedrooms that each offer spectacular views of the garden and swimming pool.   The outdoor life is as exciting as life inside the house. The swimming pool is not only wide but deep at one end, perfect for diving. In fact, the pool includes a diving board. Around the pool are glass panes to prevent young children or pets from entering the pool without adult supervision. As such, this villa is perfect for large or small families (with pets!).   Amazing profit potential for a leasehold villa in Berawa   In the world of property investments, leasehold is mostly always better than monthly or yearly rentals. With a leasehold villa, you effectively become a landlord, despite some limitations that the owner does not have.   You can arrange to have the villa rented out and managed to sub-tenants. Your best customers are people who go on holidays in groups. This is a very common practice for domestic travellers. If you hire butlers and chefs and have the villa managed by third-party managers such as Bali Coconut Living, you can then set up a sustainable villa business right away.   By simply taking a profit margin, you can already have a passive income generator without having to worry too much about customer or room service, as these have been managed for you. In essence, you would have your own hotel business running in the background while you tend to your other businesses.   Talk to us about Villa Narwastu at Bali Coconut Living.
