Starting from 3.3 billion rupiah and no more than 4 billion rupiah, you can make your dream starter house with these Bali villas for sale in Seminyak.   In this article, we feature these two houses as excellent starter houses in Seminyak. Firstly, what is a starter house? Many would define a starter house as the first house that a person can afford to buy. However, we want to think a little outside the box. After all, Seminyak is an undeniable expensive neighborhood and first-time homeowners aren’t likely to buy villas for sale in Seminyak.   How about the first house you buy when you move into Bali after having spent many years abroad? This starter house may not seem like many of the holiday villas which you see taking up the majority of our listings. However, it’s a start — starting from 3.3 billion rupiah and no more than 4 billion rupiah, you can choose to live in these ideal living spaces in the Seminyak neighborhood, and then lease them for passive income when you’re ready to live someplace else.   Rumah Elsa   At an ideal distance to Seminyak’s bustling city center, Rumah Elsa sits in a pleasantly quiet Seminyak residential area. The neighborhood is friendly, and you may even find hundreds of communities around this Seminyak area that you can look out for. The house is set on a 150 square meter land size but is able to accommodate 3 large bedrooms with 3 bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and private parking spaces.   If you prefer, you can install a swimming pool at the backside of the house, or alternatively, you can add Balinese soil, plant grass, and make a flourishing garden. The space is yours, and it’s wide open for possibilities.   With more interior space while still providing extra exterior space, you can truly design a home that offers everything that you can find outside. Do you love coffee? Install your own cafe design and coffee kitchen. Enjoy going to the cinema? You can easily create your own personal entertainment room. It’s the perfect home for creative people.   Start your Bali life   Bali Coconut Living is happy to show you around the hundreds of houses available in Seminyak, Canggu, and surrounding areas.

Will you be one of the freehold owners of a home near Uluwatu Temple? Here are two Bali villas for sale, freehold and freshly built.   For many years, Bali Coconut Living has offered to assist in selling or leasing villas — some aged and rustic, while others modern and minimalistic. We are now expanding to offer more value by helping developers sell the best and latest living spaces, freshly developed in the quiet side of Bali, and with great prices!   In this article, we’ll take a brief look at Villa Zumba — that is, they are not just one villa, but two villas in the neighboring vicinity. These are modern houses designed not just to look good, but to convey a subtle clue of the owners’ lifestyle and living experience. Millions of praises go to the architects and engineers who had built them.   Villa Zumba 2B and 3B are both new and complete constructions. Will you be the first to experience these wonderful houses?   Villa Zumba 2B   Villa Zumba 2B (2B meaning 2-bedroom) sits in a pleasant residential area of Ungasan, occupying a grand total of 186 square meters of land, on which you will live in a 234 square-meter house. It is the ideal home for the modern family, as it includes two large en-suite bedrooms, a wide-open swimming pool, and a generous parking area.   The price is now very affordable, which makes a good long-term investment at the center of tourism and cultural hotspot. The south of Bali is the home of a few cultural icons, such as the Garuda Wisnu Kencana statue, and Uluwatu temple and its enchanting Kecak dance performers. What used to be a barren rocky peninsula is now up for grabs for residential home builders as the Ungasan area is becoming a more beautiful place to live.   Villa Zumba 3B   The older sister of Villa Zumba 2B, the three-bedroom counterpart is slightly larger, occupying a 216 square-meter land space, on which a 253 square-meter building stands. The extra addition of an en-suite bedroom is perfect for a large family. The architectural styling is similar to that of Villa Zumba 2B, and the marginal cost is simply attributed to the extra land space that you would obtain for a great benefit.   It would still make an absolutely fine addition to your property investment portfolio. Many domestic buyers have large families who prefer to live in one of the most prestigious residential areas in Bali. A large land to own in what will become a more expensive real estate center in five years’ time is a great asset to have.

Words can’t always describe how incredible the view of the shoreline is, if you can enjoy it everyday at your own home. Find inspiration from these Bali villas for sale.   The sea may be the very thing that made you fall in love with Bali in the first place. The breeze, the smells of fresh sea air, the sunsets, the large expanse of blue that covers up 70% of our planet – these are the things that make living by the seashore a worthy investment. Have a look at what these Bali villas for sale have to offer.   Finch Villa 2   This villa brings the element of earth and water together. From the outside, the villa looks humble and modest. It is a rectangular apartment-style house with 2 floors, minimalistically designed with wooden accents to give it a modern look. Furthermore, it sits on 1100 square meters of land, guaranteeing space for further development, while maintaining absolute privacy.   The land surrounding the villa accommodates a large swimming pool that overlooks traditional Balinese rice terraces that change color with the changing seasons. Residents can observe how the Bali rice farmers navigate down each level of paddy plot, as they plant life-nourishing rice by hand.   In the background, the Indian Ocean emerges from the view behind short trees. On most days, you can hear the sounds of waves rushing against the flow of Jeh Poh river. A family can enjoy the villa’s 6 en-suite bedrooms, open-plan kitchen, closed living space, garden, and parking area, in addition to the facilities mentioned above.   Villa Permata 5   Villa Permata is half the size of Finch Villa, but a well-planned house at the right location can become a wonderful deal that brings so much value. The villa from the outside looks just like an ordinary house with a green facade, covered with incredibly packed plant life at the front side. Whether to add fresh oxygen to the breeze-facing front side, or to add extra privacy, this is just one of the unique features that Villa Permata has to offer.   The spacious living area at the heart of this villa is what defines its interior characteristics. Villa Permata may have a closed living space, but it has large windows that face the east. This is a great advantage because you can enjoy fresh morning air as you sit on your recliner, without having to worry about getting sunburned.   The upper terrace, complete with a large wick dining table underneath a canopy, and sun-kissed lounge with a view of the sea is the gem of this incredible villa. Have meals together as a family while listening to the sound of waves and the evening sea breeze. More than just an observation deck, it can potentially become your peace sanctuary.   Sold with freehold title   Even if you are only a property investor who would not spend as much time in these villas as your guests, remember that these villas can become yours. A freehold title, granted to Indonesian citizens, is the most secure title deed. If you are Indonesian, or someone with an Indonesian spouse or a family member, this is a great family investment that can be passed down for generations to come.   For more amazing properties, visit our listings on Bali Coconut Living.

There are many villas for sale in Seminyak, and this is a good indication of a healthy housing market. After all, a villa will return nearly twice the overall investment when they are sold back to the market. More villas for sale means more competition and lowering prices, even at such prime real estate.   Of course, pricing should not be your only concern. Villas come in all sizes and styles, with varying reliability (of utilities and facilities), as well as in locations that offer a huge difference in experience. In this article, we’ll cover some tips on buying villas in Seminyak for a great investment.   1. Size and style   The size and style of your villa will determine your target market. While it’s clear that larger villas can accommodate more people and therefore generate more revenue, this doesn’t mean smaller villas are not profitable.   Smaller, single-bedroom villas can be an accommodating place for young, mobile, digital nomads who seek remote working conditions at a holiday destination. Smaller villas are easier to maintain, keeping your costs and risks low.   Larger, more spacious villas can accommodate families on holiday, but sometimes (and especially if you maintain a budget pricing) a group of young people (e.g. students, travellers) can use it as a monthly rental. You may need to hire a housekeeper to monitor the number of guests staying and keep an eye on undesired activities.   2. Reliability and utilities   Seminyak is generally well maintained when it comes to providing a reliable supply of electricity and water. However, you can have two choices in providing clean water – groundwater (air sumur) and water pipeline (PAM as the locals call it).   The former can save you money in the long-run, although with high overhead cost of drilling and filtration, and finding a permit. However, do keep a connection to the pipeline in case of draught. You may connect the pipeline to the shower, while the groundwater to the sink and washing area. This way you can save a lot of money.     Keep in mind that neither of the water sources are drinkable, so you need to provide a steady supply of drinking water by supplying at least two 19L water gallons per month per person.   3. Location and experience   The closer the villa is to popular locations, such as the beach, the mall, and restaurants, the more expensive it is, and therefore you need to keep an eye on the market price as well as their experience offers.   The proximity of the villa to popular destinations will determine the experience of staying there, but this experience can differ in various market segments. For example, younger guests in groups of no more than two are likely to go around on rented motorcycles, so they have no problem with villas that are relatively far from popular destinations.   Manage your villa with Bali Coconut Living   Property is one of the best businesses with high returns and relatively low risk, provided that you invest in the right location, such as Seminyak. Once you have purchased your villa, you will need to invest in time to manage your villa.   Our villa management service does more than simply to manage the villa. We are able to provide higher value to your guests with a butler and pool-cleaning service. Learn more about our offers.

Bali's tourism is concentrated in the south of the island, so it's important to pick the right locations in the competitive villa industry. Learn more about our villas here. South Bali is the vibrant capital of tourism in Indonesia, and with thousands of local and foreign tourists flocking in to enjoy their vacations, come numerous houses to buy and sell. This makes South Bali one of the best locations for investment and long-term living.   Some tourist attractions in South Bali   The majority of famous places in Bali that many people can think of are located in South Bali. This includes areas like Kuta, Ubud, Denpasar, Uluwatu, Jimbaran, Seminyak, Sanur, and Canggu.   This is because Ngurah Rai International Airport is located in South Bali. While infrastructure is continuously improving to provide faster access throughout the island, the limited availability of public transportation creates a hurdle for many tourists to visit other places in Bali with low cost.   However, this is excellent news of property owners in South Bali, since tourism will be concentrated in one region. For those who haven’t owned a property here, the cost of buying villas might seem intimidating. However, rest assured that the tenant turnover rate is high in any season, and high rent prices are becoming a norm. Houses can be sold quickly for the next generation of property investors.   Where can you find the best villas for sale with great location   1. The Majestic Studio   The Majestic Studio is part of a larger group of apartments that are for sale – it’s technically a condotel. Where private villas are too spacious for those looking for a budget place to live, long-staying tourists typically pick a more affordable one that is relatively close to the action. This single bedroom fully furnished studio with a shared swimming pool and a garden is cozy for those who value minimalist living.   The Majestic Studio is located in a prime location that meets that specific need. Jl. Petitenget is concentrated with high-end shops and cafes that can justify a high rent price. Within its vicinity lie highly acclaimed restaurants such as KYND Community, Merah Putih Resto, Biku, Bamboo, and more.   2. Villa Cardamon   This villa is amazingly close to the beach and a popular one at that, Batu Mejan Beach. So, just imagine being a guest at Villa Cardamon – Echo Beach Club, La Favela, and numerous other big brands in Bali are within walking distance!   Despite the availability of online taxis, it’s been observed that many high-income tourists would rather walk, essentially considering the area as his or her own incredibly fun neighborhood. These kinds of people are going to be the ones who will pay for comfort and convenience, and Villa Cardamon fulfills the checklist.   There is plenty of space for two guests to call it home. Feel free to request a visit to this fully furnished villa.   3. Villa Impian   This charming villa is available for sale and accommodates at least three people. This rustic, hotel-like villa with a swimming pool is fully furnished, so you don’t have to worry about matching the furniture with the existing interior design.   Taking a walk outside the villa, the guests will encounter many attractions and entertainment, as well as cafes and restaurants to indulge in. Parachute Bar, Finns Recreation Club, and La Laguna are accessible via Jl. Pantai Berawa. For those who brought their families to Bali, the Canggu Community School is conveniently nearby. This can also be an attractive place to live for teachers.   The generous land size of 295 square meters provides a perfect opportunity to gain a slice of wealth in Bali.   Always remember to have the right land permits   To create a homestay or villa accommodation, it’s necessary to obtain the right land certificates and other permits necessary for the legal operation of the business.
