Nestled in Kaba Kaba, Tabanan Regency, is one of the most beautiful jungle estates in Bali. This turnkey masterpiece is a haven of tranquillity yet only a short drive to one of Bali’s best surf breaks, 20 minutes from the hip and desirable neighbourhood of Canggu and 40 minutes to the cultural centre of Ubud.

This unique oasis of nature, comprises 4093 sqm of land (3040 sqm of Freehold land plus 1053 sqm of Leasehold land) with 613 sqm of covered indoor and outdoor living spaces. This modern colonial estate has been totally refurbished recently to meticulous Western standards and attention to detail can be seen everywhere.

The impressive teak and bronze studded entrance doors mark the beginning of a journey into this amazing property passing a 30-metre spring water swimming pool, adorned with carved fountainheads reminiscent of Tirta Empul Temple. Two stone lions guard a curving walkway flanked either side by water-lily ponds. Going down the 42 hand-carved steps will take you to an open veranda which seamlessly transitions into the natural landscape.

Visitors to this majestic property are in awe of the breathtaking panoramic views of an ancient river, framed by towering bamboos and the greenery of giant leafed tropical plants. The property consists of 2 pieces of land on either side of this river coursing through 5 metre walls of aged paras stone, the two sides connected by a romantic 12-metre bridge featuring steel art deco railings and carved columns. With a bridge view of tumbling rapids on one side, the other sees the river spreading out into a lazy crawl, creating relaxing water sounds with no signs of trash on the riverbed.

The villa has four spacious bedrooms, all with private ensuites and built-in wardrobes and another room that is being used as an office that can easily be converted. There is the King Suite with its mirror panelled walls, chandeliers, private massage room and bathroom with a Victorian tub, plus another three generously proportioned bedrooms each with centuries-old polished ironwood floors. A lovely new addition is a luxury one bedroom riverside self-contained apartment. Romeo-Juliet balconies and wrought iron fencing look out onto multiple vistas.

There is also a traditionally crafted timber “wantilan” or meeting house featuring elegantly Java-tiled floor overlooking the river. The property is completed with large storage sheds, parking facilities, staff quarters and guest toilets.

The original vision of the owners was to offer a wedding venue, with beautiful areas to dine, dance and entertain. The property can cater comfortably for 150 standing guests, or 80 seated just in the main dining area alone and it is also ripe for development as a world-class retreat, wellness centre or boutique hotel. This is a rare opportunity to secure a one-of a kind idyllic home or an iconic commercial landmark.
