Foreign investors are increasingly drawn to the country’s potential for:

Long-term appreciation

✔ Ideal for a luxury lifestyle

Whether you love surfing, snorkeling, yoga, nature, or simply slow living, Rote offers the perfect escape, calm, safe, and inspiring.

Why Invest? The Benefits for Savvy Investors

This Beachfront Property in Rote Island, Indonesia is not only a stunning lifestyle purchase, but also an extremely attractive opportunity for foreign investors especially at IDR 11,500,000,000 (approx. USD 690,000) for a freehold, fully furnished estate, including car, scooters, generator and more (as detailed in the brochure).

1. Freehold Title & Turnkey Package: The property is offered on a freehold basis, not a long-term lease. At this price point, buyers receive a fully furnished villa plus valuable extras such as a car, scooters, generator and equipment, allowing you to step straight into a ready-to-use home or rental business with minimal additional investment.

2. Foreign-Investor Compatible Structure: The land has been acquired using the standard nominee structure commonly used by foreigners in Indonesia, supported by proper notarial agreements – including a Power of Attorney (akta kuasa). This structure, together with the land certificate and the IDs of all parties (owner passport and nominee KTP), provides a clear legal framework for foreign buyers. Full documentation is available for review during due diligence.

3. Financing Opportunities: Indonesian banks offer favorable lending conditions to foreign investors through an established local company. Banks generally provide loans covering 50% to 70% of the property's value, with the estate itself as collateral. This makes financing both accessible and attractive for international buyers.

4. Option to Set Up an Indonesian Company: For investors who prefer a corporate structure, it is possible to establish an Indonesian company with foreign capital (PT PMA) to acquire and manage property. This process is relatively straightforward, typically taking 1–2 weeks, with a minimum capital requirement of around IDR 10 billion (≈ USD 650,000), which can then be utilized in the acquisition and development of the asset.

Access to Local Financing

Through an Indonesian company, foreign investors may access local bank financing, often up to 50–70% of the property’s value, with the property itself used as collateral. This allows buyers to optimize leverage, maintain liquidity, and enhance overall return on investment.

Competitive Acquisition & Transaction Costs

The investment framework remains competitive compared to many other international beachfront markets:

Down payment: typically 20–30% of the purchase price
Notary fees: around 1% of the purchase price
Property transfer tax (BPHTB): fixed at 5%

Combined with the property’s price, location and freehold status, this makes it a compelling proposition for investors seeking both lifestyle and capital appreciation.
