Why Investing in This Property

Two numbers make the case here.

The first is the price per square metre. Four hectares of beachfront at IDR 7.2 billion works out at about IDR 18 million per are — roughly USD 1,010. The beachfront plots we hold on the north coast of Central Sumba sell at four to six times that. Same island, same sand, four to six times the price per square metre. If you have been looking at beachfront on Sumba and reacting to the headline figures, this is the plot that should change the conversation.

Large parcels always sell cheaper per are than small ones, because very few buyers can absorb four hectares. You are buying scale and coastline.

The second number is thirty minutes to Tambolaka Airport. On Sumba, access is the whole problem: most land on the island sits one to two and a half hours from a runway, on roads that are serious work in the wet season. Thirty minutes changes what is possible. A guest who lands at midday is at your gate before lunch. Staff can live at home and commute. Materials arrive without a half-day haul. Of the ten plots we hold on this island, this is the best-connected.

Four hectares also means you are not constrained by the coastal setback in the way a small plot is. Indonesian planning law protects a strip behind the high-tide line — the sempadan pantai — within which building is prohibited; on a two thousand square metre plot that can swallow the whole site, whereas on forty thousand it costs you a row of buildings and gives you back a beach lawn. On this parcel it shapes the plan rather than deciding whether there can be one.

The two certificates are a genuine structuring advantage: you can develop or sell in two stages, keep one and release the other, or bring in a partner on half.
