A new type of home is now rising in popularity here in Bali and it is called the townhouse villa. If luxury villas with private pools and gardens were all the rage for the past three decades or so, townhouses are now fast becoming the home of choice, especially for those looking for a fashionable, easy-to-maintain, comfortable, luxurious but un-extravagant home here in Bali. A townhouse villa will give you everything you need while on the island – a stylish base to call home with beautiful interiors and all of the latest amenities in a convenient location but without the heavy financial burden that would come about from owning and maintaining a classic luxury villa. So in today’s post, let’s take a look at what a townhouse is and why it’s a smart investment! What Is The Definition Of A Townhouse? A townhouse villa is a narrow, multilevel residence attached to other residences on a street. It’s a multi-level building designed to mimic a traditional house. The difference is that a townhouse shares at least one wall with a neighbouring property and is usually built in a row with little or no outdoor area or a backyard, depending on its design. Townhouses can usually be found in a complex, and are built to be at least 2 or 3 stories high. What Are The Advantages Of Renting A Townhouse? There are a few advantages that come from renting a townhouse instead of a large landed property like a luxury villa. Let’s take a look: Cost & Fees Due to their smaller size and reduced land area, townhouses typically cost considerably less to buy or build than luxury villas. Townhouses share walls with neighbouring units, reducing the overall construction costs and land requirements. They also occupy less square footage than villas, translating into lower property taxes, insurance premiums, and utility bills. General community fees are applied to all homeowners in Bali for general upkeep like Banjar fees, garbage collection fees and similar. Maintenance Townhouses are low maintenance with reduced upkeep costs for exterior maintenance, landscaping, services and utilities. Maintenance for the above would be a shared responsibility with other townhouse owners so all you’d have to do is pay a monthly upkeep fee without having to do the actual job yourself. This would include mowing lawns, trimming hedges, painting exterior walls or fixing broken pathways, controlling the mosquito population or cleaning out the garbage and the swimming pool. Amenities Townhouses offer communal or shared amenities that are available to all homeowners or those renting the townhouse. This shared model would further bring down individual expenses and residents can enjoy wonderful amenities and facilities like swimming pools, a lounge or a recreational area, a gym or a fitness center. Depending on the community, your townhouse may come with security guards, gated entryways, and CCTVs for peace of mind. To sum it up, townhouses provide the convenience and comfort of a luxury villa with substantially lower maintenance obligations, perfect for those seeking a hassle-free lifestyle. Let’s take a look at our top 3 most popular townhouse villas in Bali.   Villa Puncak A modern and contemporary townhouse villa in the up-and-coming area of Pantai Nyanyi in Tabanan, home to a stunning stretch of lovely, uncrowded beach with towering coconut trees fringing its shores.

On the ground floor, there is an open plan living, dining and kitchen area overlooking the pool and sundeck, and floor-to-ceiling glass doors and windows that can be opened or closed. On the second and third floors, there are large balconies that double as a lounge area. There are three spacious bedrooms with ensuites with vanities and standing showers, while the master bedroom comes with a large stone bathtub and a standing shower.   Tiffany Townhouse Brand new, stylish townhouses with spacious indoor-outdoor areas and rooms that will present a sophisticated and cosy atmosphere, in the peaceful area of Pakung Tibah-Tabanan.

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. Here are three of our very best freehold Bali villas in Seminyak:   Villa Almeria   A stunning 4 bedroom villa nestled in a quiet and central location in the Seminyak area is now on the market.

This week we feature three villas that many people have been asking about. These are freehold villas in Umalas for sale for your dream house and villa business.   This week, we would like to feature these freehold villas in Umalas. It seems that many people are interested in these three villas and we seem to know why. These villas are freehold villas for sale, and they are located in the increasingly popular Umalas.   Umalas is, of course, the ideal residential area, since Canggu, Seminyak and Denpasar are roughly the same distance from these properties. Umalas is now becoming the new town center where residents can quickly gain access to all parts of mid-south Bali.   Let’s check out each one of them.   1. Villa Azriel   Villa Azriel has been put in many people’s wishlist. This is no surprise – the villa is gorgeous, both inside and out. The villa has a decently sized pool with emerald brick formation as its flooring, surrounded by gentle night lighting. The garden has a few shrubs and a single decorative palm tree. The grassy section is tame and easy to maintain, and safe for children to play on.   The interior is fully furnished with selected minimalistic but modern furniture. There are four bedrooms, four bathrooms and a guest toilet. On the second floor, the east-facing balcony looks amazing in the morning. The whole house has a hotel-resort feel to it, and it would change your standards for vacation hotels when this house is forever yours.   2. Villa Hanna 2   This villa is not as grand as Azriel, yet does its job well to accommodate a small tight-knit family in a safe and friendly neighborhood. It has a swimming pool at the back, which is soothing in the afternoon when a part of the building casts a shadow on the water.   The best part about this villa is that it is unfurnished, except for the kitchen set which has been installed. The house has so much potential; the now “blank-page” interior invites you to personalize and customize every corner, from the interior paint to the choice of functionality for each room.   3. Villa Charlie   Villa Charlie is currently under development; it’s a series of villas in a housing cluster. The interesting thing about this villa is that you can use it for either residential or business purposes – this is uncommon in Umalas, and that would add so much value to the property. The current price is way lower than it would be once it’s completed, so feel free to visit the site.   The villa occupies a decent 190 m2 land which gives it room for a swimming pool. There are 3 bedrooms on the second floor, and 3 bathrooms. This is a standard family home architecture, but you’ll only need to modify a few elements of the interior design before you can have a $90 holiday rental villa for the up-market.   Interested in one of these villas? Feel free to drop a message at Bali Coconut Living. We are a property agent and villa management service to help you run your property business in the background.

Take a closer look at these freehold villas in Canggu to diversify your property investment. Canggu, with Nusa Dua, are the most trending destinations right now!   The Bali property market has never been better. With an increased influx of tourists and a diversification of businesses within the tourism industry itself, the tourism sector in Bali is evolving. This is why investing in a freehold villa in Canggu and Nusa Dua (two of the most trending places at the moment) is a great way to tap into this market.   We’ll introduce you to three Bali villas for sale that are well-suited for a freehold property investment strategy.    Villa Aksa Bali Tibubuneng, Canggu   Villa Aksa Bali is fully furnished, but you don’t have to worry too much about the maintenance. All the furniture has been selected to suit the minimalistic feel of the entire villa. Feel free to add artworks on the walls or other decorations, or to rearrange and repurpose the rooms – it’s easy to manage and clean.   Minimalism doesn’t always mean reducing quality and service. The villa is fully equipped with an outdoor swimming pool with a wooden platform for sunbathing. The garden is also teeming with healthy foliage and flowers. These are all great experiences particularly for tourists from the US, European and Australian regions.   Dahlia 12 Berawa, Canggu   Dahlia 12 was built by talented contractors and architects. The glass walls allow maximum natural lighting into the living room and dining room area, accentuating its futuristic feel. It is ideal as a yearly rent, a great treat for many people from the East and Southeast Asian regions.   While the architecture seems atypical of villas in Bali, the interior designers have selected furniture that humbles the lofty attitude of the exterior design. Wicker tables, chairs and lamp shades, together with the solid wooden dining table and nature-derived decorations bring a complementary and natural element into the living experience.   This lovely villa includes a swimming pool and a lily pond, which also functions as a bedding for healthy bamboo plant life.   Villa Pari Berawa, Canggu   Villa Pari is the dream guesthouse. It comes with a large swimming pool and a spacious outdoor area, sitting on 600 square meters of land. Currently the outer edges of the swimming pool is covered with slip-free wooden platforms and stone borders that protect the garden from overflow from the pool.   The outdoor area thus creates a great opportunity for landscaping, should you feel the need to add extra room to the 3-bedroom U-shaped villa that encompasses the swimming pool.   The interior is all but minimalistic. Each room is a gold mine for artistic decorations from traditional crafts to contemporary works by Bali’s reputable artists. The interior design is a visual equivalent to Bali’s traditional gamelan music. Guests who appreciate cultural experiences will find the beautiful decorations a lovely treat that add so much value to their stay.   Browse our freehold properties   There are even more choices of villas in Canggu and other exciting locations in Bali. Simply go to our Villa for Sale page on the official website of Bali Coconut Living. There are many listings for Bali villa and property for sale on the Internet. It is highly recommended that these online services also include villa management. Learn more about our villa management and how they can help you become profitable.

When it comes to buying villas, the first consideration anyone would make is location. What if we told you that there are high-value villas for sale without relying too much on location?   Advantage of being (slightly more) location independent   Lacking in an extensive network of public transport, almost all Balinese locals and foreigners travel by motorbike or car. Therefore, distance is not too much of a problem for most people, whether they are buyers or renters.   If you are going to have a second home in Bali, it would make a lot of sense to stay in a more quiet and peaceful area where you don’t meet a lot of tourists. Besides, the closer you live near the popular attractions, the less you will appreciate them over time. This paradox is often true!   Two high-value villas that you should check out   1. Villa Kristina   Your best value candidate, Villa Kristina, is located in Sanur. We will be honest to say that Sanur doesn’t look as brilliantly sophisticated and chic as Seminyak, but it’s anything but boring.   The villa has great access to many places of interest. To visit Seminyak, Kuta, and Jimbaran, all you have to do is to follow the Bypass westwards. This will also lead you to the Mandala toll road which gives further access to Uluwatu and Nusa Dua.   Northward, you can travel to Gianyar and Ubud, and the rest of north Bali (visit awesome places like Amed, Amlapura, and Tulamben by following Ida Bagus Mantra Road).   Villa Kristina comes with an indoor swimming pool and great kitchen space to experiment with Balinese cuisine. Note that the place is not furnished yet, but this gives you full control over what goes into your house.   2. Rumah Kelly   On the west coast of South Bali is Canggu. It can either be a seaside town or a region, depending on who you ask. For us, Canggu is a pleasant suburban landscape with beautiful rice fields that look best in the morning.   The villa itself is an attractive property to live in. The Java-Bali styled joglo is brought to life by the tough wooden material. The organic element has withstood the weather for years and will stand for years to come.   The inside is spacious, giving everyone room to breathe, unlike the type of houses with too many dividers and small rooms. As the insulation is optimal, you wouldn’t need to install air conditioning, although the house already comes with a complementary AC for your purchase.   Enjoy Rumah Kelly, a 150 square-meter house with two floors and two bedrooms.   Got any questions? Feel free to contact us   Bali Coconut Living is located in Jl. Bumbak Dauh No.89b, Kerobokan, North Kuta. Our agents are happy to show you around our properties Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM.
