This exceptional villa, crafted by a European builder to the highest standards, is nestled in a picturesque valley just 2 kilometers uphill from the famous tourist town of Lovina.

The villa's surroundings are remarkably peaceful and private, surrounded by tropical trees with a small river running at the property's base. Located in Kayuputih, this villa is unparalleled in its uniqueness.

Spanning over 3220 square meters (approximately 32.2 Are), it features three main buildings, five distinct bedrooms, a fully self-contained unit with a western-style kitchen, all en-suite and air-conditioned, a massive swimming pool, and, most notably, breathtaking views over the nearby forest and Lovina. From the rooftop, you can enjoy vistas of Lovina and the ocean.

Lovina Villa:

The main villa is spread over two floors. The upper floor boasts two separate bedrooms with en-suites and large balconies, a lobby with access to the spacious entrance, and parking. The ground floor includes a newly completed room (finished in May 2017) of over 85 square meters, featuring abundant natural light, garden and pool views, a balcony, and an enormous en-suite bathroom with dual hand basins and a large open shower. There's also a walk-in robe with a safe, luggage rack nook, desk, 1.5 KW air conditioning unit, and a sitting area. Additionally, this level houses the living room and a reading/TV/games room with large couches, a flat-screen TV, Indihome entertainment channels, and a Sony PS3 player.

At the central level of the property are two pavilions, each over 80 square meters, with a large 18-meter by 5-meter marble-tiled pool in between. One pavilion houses a large western-equipped kitchen with dining area, pantry, powder room/toilet, large gas oven/cooktop, and alfresco dining area (25 square meters) with a wall-mounted flat-screen TV, lighting, ceiling fan, and views over the gardens and pool. The other pavilion features a spacious pool area with ample wardrobes, a room safe, and a large marble-lined bathroom with twin carved stone hand basins, a twin-door shower, and a toilet. On a lower level is a fifth, very large family room (over 90 square meters) with an extra-large en-suite, storage, king and queen-size beds, and a private courtyard terrace. Additionally, there is a new 2 KW air conditioner and private terrace/courtyard.

On the other side of the pool, below the kitchen area, is a fully self-contained apartment with a bedroom, sitting area, dining area, new kitchen, large en-suite, and walk-in robe. Just outside is a semi-private landscaped courtyard with a good-sized sitting area, water feature, and growing privacy wall. This brand new room can serve as another private room, an on-site management couple's quarters, or your own space while you manage your successful 5 or 6-bedroom holiday rental business.

Within the beautifully landscaped gardens of the property, there is a recently renovated Balinese hut, perfect for yoga, massages, or simply reading a good book. It is complete with a ceiling fan, lighting, blinds, and seating.

Unique Features and Eco-Friendly Credentials:

This property stands out for many reasons. It is built with concrete and steel, ensuring low maintenance and termite resistance. Plantation shutters, rather than sliding glass doors, give the villa a charming island holiday feel. The property boasts an impressive array of environmentally friendly features, including over 180,000 liters of underground concrete water storage tanks that collect rainwater, high-end filtering systems for safe drinking water from all house taps (a rarity in Bali), eco-filtration ponds for clear wastewater after septic tanks, and into the river, and three large fish ponds with filters, pumps, and water features.

The magnificent gardens, designed by a well-known landscape artist from Java in 2012, include flowing layers, retaining walls, paths, wall carvings, and a giant Buddha statue over which the infinity pool cascades. Many species of local and imported plants, shrubs, fruits, and now mature trees were planted, yielding wonderful results.

In late 2017, this property received the Certificate of Excellence from Tripadvisor and Superhost status from Airbnb. It is on track to receive these awards again in 2018, a notable achievement after only a year of operating as a holiday rental villa. The formal announcement in August 2017 of a new international airport to be constructed in North Bali will position this property within a 30 to 40-minute drive from this new facility. This is expected to significantly increase the demand for accommodation in the area. Lovina and North Bali have seen consistent growth in tourism over the past six years, with the Indonesian government aiming to attract over 20 million tourists per year by 2020. Over 80% of these tourists arrive in Bali.

Whether you seek a paradise to live in or a property with an income and a decent ROI, this villa offers both. Any of the five main rooms can be transformed into other uses, such as a study/office, gymnasium, art studio, hobby room, or library. The property includes a large laundry and storage room, a workshop with storage and tools, and all the facilities and infrastructure required to live a luxurious lifestyle without concerns. Low running costs are achieved through upgrades in electrical fittings (all LED lighting, energy-efficient AC units, pumps, etc.), regular rubbish collections, improvements in garden maintenance, and well-trained, English-speaking local staff (one staff member has been here for ten years).

Purchase Options and Additional Features:

The property can be purchased as Hak Milik (freehold) or Hak Pakai (leasehold with a lease period of up to 75 years and options to extend). All certificates and documents to ensure a hassle-free sale and purchase are available and current, and any due diligence inspections are welcomed.

With growing demand for properties that can accommodate larger groups, this villa is among only a handful of rental properties available with a capacity of 12 adults plus children. The adjoining property, also available for purchase, is a split-level three-bedroom property with a large pool, increasing the accommodation capacity to 18 plus. Both properties currently enjoy good rental numbers.

As operators of a successful construction and renovations company in Australia for many years and more recently as consultants in Bali, we are acutely aware of the construction methods and materials used by most contractors here. We sought a property with soundly constructed buildings using reinforced concrete and steel, solid foundations, and quality fit-outs. The original builder exceeded all these requirements, constructing it to last as his own home. Exposed timber in North Bali is a risk for termites, but this property avoids such issues.

The property includes all furnishings and fittings, a Facebook page, Instagram page, website, and all future bookings and income. The owners are open to discussing a retainer period to assist with the changeover and/or management of the property or to project manage any new development if the purchaser desires. Offered as Freehold.
