Deal Highlights

🚨 Why this deal?

Due to an international relocation, the owner is divesting this strategic holding at a significant discount—creating a rare, below-market entry point in a tightly held area with limited supply and high future upside.

What’s the Opportunity?

Defining Alpha: Returns above the market

This deal offers three distinct investor opportunities, all of which are structured to generate significant upside from the land’s prime location and discounted price:

#1 Discounted land bank in a Zoned Scarcity Pocket

• Acquire at IDR 650M/are, ~27% below the market average of IDR 900M/are.

• Hold the land for 3–5 years as the zoning bottleneck eases and nearby areas like Nyanyi and Kedungu push pricing eastward.

• Red Zone status adds long-term flexibility for future commercial repositioning or resale to developers.

• Estimated IRR: 12%–20%, assuming conservative 7% annual appreciation and strategic resale timing.

• 69.7% ROI over a 3-year hold, with potential future value ~IDR 41.46 billion.

  
  ✅ Alpha Verdict: Low-complexity hold with long-term scarcity-driven upside. Pure play on zoning arbitrage and macro appreciation.

#2 Subdivide and Resell with 360° Green Belt Premium

• Leverage the existing access and end-of-road privacy to subdivide into 10–12 residential or commercial plots (~3–4 are each)

• Position each plot as premium green-belt-view land, commanding IDR 1B–1.2B/are due to exclusivity, view protection, and zoning flexibility.

• Minimal infrastructure required beyond road enhancement (~IDR 1B capex).

• Perfect for a wellness retreat or sale as premium villa complex
  

  Estimated Timeline: 18–24 months
  Projected Profit: ~IDR 12B+
  Estimated IRR: 30%–35%
  

  ✅ Alpha Verdict: High-upside strategy that captures view premium and plot scarcity. Moderate complexity with strong resale comp validation nearby.

#3 Build Road + Quick Flip at Market Rate

• Add or enhance temporary access road (~IDR 1B cost) to unlock liquidity and buyer access.

• Market the full 37.6 are parcel at IDR 850M–900M/are, matching current average comps while offering zoning and location advantages.
  

• Estimated Timeline: 6–9 months

  Target Resale: ~IDR 32B

  Gross Profit: ~IDR 6.5B

  Estimated IRR: 38%–42%
  

  ✅ Alpha Verdict: Fast-track resale with strong yield on light improvements. Great for investors seeking liquidity and speed with minimal build effort.

Alpha Opportunity Recap

📈 Underexposed but Strategic: While nearby Kedungu and Nyanyi are already seeing rapid appreciation, Tanah Lot’s limited development presents rare arbitrage for early movers.

📌 Red Zone > Pink Zone: Most adjacent plots are zoned Pink (tourism only), limiting flexibility. This Red Zone parcel permits broader commercial applications.

🌴360° Green Belt Rarity: The property is uniquely wrapped in a protected green belt—offering enduring privacy and view protection in a market where unblocked land is increasingly scarce.

🏢Phased Development Play: With temporary access roads already in place, investors can pursue a subdivision or phased build strategy, minimizing upfront capital exposure while capturing upside over time.

📈 Below Market + Growing Comp Pressure: At IDR 650M/are, this land is priced ~27% below comparables. As Nyanyi and Kedungu continue to rise past IDR 1B/are, pricing pressure will inevitably spill east into Tanah Lot—driving value uplift.

🏞️ Scarcity Premium: The reverence around Tanah Lot has capped overdevelopment, maintaining landscape integrity. Less supply will invariably lead to higher demand in future.
