Villa for Lease in Ubud

A modernist and tranquil villa in the heart of Nyuh Kuning.

. Over the years, the Nyuh Kuning village has become one of the most sought-after areas in Ubud, owing to the exceptional tidiness in which the village is collectively maintained, the many quality restaurants there, and of course its superb location in the heart of Ubud—literally a stone’s throw from Monkey Forest.  

Indeed, this house sits right in the middle of the Nyuh Kuning enclave, on a sizable block of 1,970 sqm, even with an expansive view of open space.  Recently built in 2022, the owners commissioned Tan Tik Lam (“Lemmi”), who is one of Indonesia’s foremost senior architects, to design the house.  Lemmi’s trademark character of modern minimalism and understated refinement is evident throughout.

The house consists of two buildings totalling 460 sqm.  One is the main house consisting of 2 bedrooms and 3 full baths, and the other a stand-alone studio unit of 1 bedroom and 1.5 baths with its own yoga shala; the studio unit can also function as a separate home office.  

From the very beginning, the house was built with sustainability principles in mind.  Eco-Mantra assisted with providing an enviromentally sustainable design scheme consisting of the following features: (i) a 4.5 kW solar panel with net metering; (ii) a rainwater harvesting system with 2 x 4,000 liter ground tanks where the rainwater is treated and used for clean water; (iii) a waste water treatment facility where grey water is used for landscape irrigation; (iv) numerous recharge wells throughout the property; and (v) wiring for an EV (electric vehicle) charging station system.  The house also comes equipped with a Honda 5.0 kW electric generator powered by gasoline, and for safety a fire sprinkler system rests above the ceiling of the main house and studio.

The house is offered on a semi-furnished or fully-furnished basis.  A careful selection of quality equipment and materials have been procured to create high comfort and convenience.  The air conditioning system in the main house is ducted which provides for cleaner aesthetics and superior cooling.  At the request of the owners, all the interior spaces must be able to be completely enclosed, yet the house retains the flexibility of open-plan living when the soundproof YKK Nexsta aluminium sliding doors are fully open. The built-in kitchen and bathroom countertops all use the Neolith brand from Spain, and the wooden finishing on all built-in furniture uses the Lamitak brand.

This house has been built with love by the current owners and is now looking for a new owner who is ready to receive the many blessings this house seems eager to confer.
