Hi there,
Hope you’re well and looking for forwards to the Christmas Holidays. I just wanted to write in my latest blogs a couple of standout opportunities that have come to my attention that look standout investment opportunities that I thought may be of interest.
Welcome again to my blog where in this instance a few opportunities that shine above all others. For this “Pete’s property picks’ we look at an exciting opportunity in Ubud with a discounts opportunity giving excellent yields with picture postcard views, 1000m2 of land for sale just outside Canggu with a motivated seller who has dropped a 3rd off the price and also has the lease extension locked in (practically unheard of) at a under-market price to be exercised any time in the next 28.5 years making it practically freehold. We also have a recently completed entry level 2 bed beachside Canggu villa under IDR2.5m (US$148k) where conservative long term rental yields would give a 19.39% gross yield.
Pete’s Property Picks
To give some good reasons why you may want to take notice, I’ve lived in SE Asia for 25 years. I first bought land in Bali in 2004, building in 2005 and subsequently launched my first development of 15 villas in 2008. My career background is largely investment-related (then property) as far back as the late 90s as a commodity broker. Investments and property perfectly intertwine in Bali, where margins for developers are excellent and ROI for investors exceptional. I also have a Master’s in International Business Management, hence also look at property opportunities from an analytical perspective. I do live and breath the market every day, hence do know a thing or two.
The Opportunities
Firstly the Ubud villas. Nestled in the heart of Ubud, Bali’s cultural and spiritual epicentre, lies an exceptional opportunity to own a piece of paradise. This exclusive 5-villa estate, designed with meticulous attention to detail, offers a unique blend of modern tropical design and lush natural beauty. With breath-taking views of rice paddies and a protected river, this estate is perfect for those seeking serenity, luxury, and the ultimate in tropical living.
The 4 villas available, starting at IDR6.5B US$390k offer a practically unheard of 12% yield for the first 2 years and also a discount of US$18k.

The second opportunity is ‘fire sale’ land in Tumbuk Bayu, just outside Canggu, a very popular area growing rapidly in popularity and amenities (gyms, coffee shops etc). Reduced from 18m/are/yr to 12.5m/are/year. Great development land for 1/2/3+ villas. As mentioned the 25 years extension is also locked in at 9m/are/year. In real terms the price for the current 28.5 years is only around US$225k (FX rate dependent). You could build a dream home or build many villas and 2X on your full investment to revenue. You could also build one for example and sell others off plan where they would be financed by the purchaser. We would be very happy to put you in contact with reputable builders. Please view the land through the following link.
Also note that I have videos on site, land typography and some design sketches I can share:

The third opportunity is a turnkey individual villa, just completed this week, in a 10/10 location beachside Canggu. Built by a top French developer who has been building in Bali for 19 years and has created with his interior designer wife, a property that looks nailed on to be a successful investment. Priced at only IDR2.48b (US$148k), this could be rented for short term lets, however for long term rents of which there is high demand and I believe when marketed, would be tenanted within a week – and the yields are pretty compelling.
Here is the link for the property:

For long term rents at a conservative figure of DR40m per month so usd2400 or usd28800 per year, that’s a whopping 19.39% yield. No need for management companies as you just advertise on FB pages etc or go the route of marketing through agencies. I did visit this property earlier this week, hence if it could be interest and you would like to see my video walk though, please simply send me a WhatsApp and I’ll send it over.
