Villas under USD 200,000 in Bali

The Balinese real estate market has experienced strong growth in recent years, particularly in popular tourist areas such as Canggu and Seminyak, where prices have risen considerably. However, by moving to developing areas and opting for a leasehold, it is still possible to acquire a villa in this price range. Here’s an overview of the opportunities and solutions available for buying property in Bali on a budget of less than USD 200,000.

Villa location and size

• Villas outside popular areas: In areas like Canggu or Seminyak, prices have risen sharply, and a well-located villa under USD 200,000 is rare.
• Emerging areas: At this budget, you should look in certain areas of Uluwatu where you can still find good deals, or in certain parts of East and North Bali (Amed, Lovina).
• Small villas: 1 or 2-bedroom villas or local-style houses are available on this budget.

Property type

As a foreigner, you can’t own land outright (Hak Milik). You therefore have two options:

1. Leasehold: You rent a plot of land for 20 to 30 years. This system allows you to obtain a villa at a more affordable price.
2. PT PMA (foreign company): Through a company, it is possible to hold a Hak Guna Bangunan (HGB). However, the formation and maintenance of the PT PMA requires time and substantial social capital.

Examples of properties under USD 200,000

-Leasehold villas (25-30 year lease) :

• New villas in Uluwatu from USD 115,000
• 2-bedroom villas in Ubud from USD 175,000
• Completed 3-bedroom villas in Seseh from USD 194,000

Final Advice

With €200,000, you can get a nice leasehold villa in a developing area, but not necessarily in ultra-touristy places like Canggu or Seminyak. You also need to be careful about contracts and local regulations!
