- Indonesian architecture and Natural Building Materials

All plots come with a strict Building Code which outlines what can be built. This is to ensure continuity between neighbors but also consistency with the overall community concept.

We envision a tight community of affordable houses inspired by Indonesian architecture (i.e. joglos, gladaks, limasans…etc) and built with natural materials (i.e. wood, bamboo, adobe, mudbrick…etc). We don’t want large expensive contemporary concrete structures for a number of reasons.

All plots carry an obligation to build within a certain timeframe. This is to ensure the community does not remain a construction site for years to come, and provide some security for those first to build.

We subcontract our design works to a local team, very experienced in Selong Belanak and familiar with our Building Code. However we also have a bunch of predesigned and pre-priced modular prefabricated houses as this is most efficient and affordable method of designing a home.

However if you have an architect you want to work with, you’re under no obligation to design with us. We only ask, the architect adhere to the Building Code and has experience building on hillsides in South Lombok.

- Bespoke or Prefabricated

We sub-contract our construction works to a local team, very experienced in building in these hills. For custom builds they can do everything from civil works to electrical and plumbing.

We sub-contract the prefabricated houses, to an experienced housing contractor in Sulawesi. They’ve got tones of experience building, shipping and installing houses all over the country. Examples of their work can be found all through the Gilis and now South Lombok. Our local team will do the site works and substructure (footings, foundation) but the main building including all electrical and plumbing is done by them.

Again if you have a local construction team you want to work with, you’re under no obligation to use ours but we ask they have experience building on hillsides in South Lombok and may insist on an independent Project Manager to keep an eye on the site. This is to ensure all builds run smoothly, for the benefit of the buyer but also the neighbors and ourselves.

Secret Garden is a contemporary Indonesian village perched on a secluded hillside above Selong Belanak, South Lombok.

After several years of living and working in Lombok selling property, we saw a need for small affordable blocks of land with sea views that are safe/secure to buy and quick/easy to build.

Our goal is to make it quick, easy and affordable to buy a block of land and build a villa. Our secondary goal is to build a community of Indonesian inspired houses that employ sustainable elements.

- rolling green hills, amazing sea views, cool sea breezes, peaceful / natural surrounding and luxury villas

Jabon is the range of hills setback 1-2km from Selong Belanak beach, looking directly over the bay encompassing Mawi (to the left), Selong Belanak (center) and Serangan / TAB (to the right) depending on where you are.

Traditionally they have been fairly dry (and therefore unproductive) farm land, growing to***co in the dry season and mountain rice in the wet season. Their main drawcard has and still is the view, followed by the relative coolness thanks to their south facing aspect and elevation which reaches 180m in places. Although there are many hills with sea views, there’s not many with views like these. Simply put, in Jabon its all about getting away off the beaten track and taking in the view.

In terms of tourist offerings there is very little to do, except for visit the stunning restaurant Aura within Selong Selo. However that is set to change with what is the fastest growing luxury villa market in Lombok, led by the iconic Selong Selo development. With that and given its tranquil natural environment, Jabon is projected to see an influx of spas, bars, saunas, steamers, cafes, yoga studios and walking trails. There’s plans to install mountain biking trails, setup horse riding ventures, permaculture farms and even ceramic studios. All of which is due to the luxury villas being built, which is largely due to amazing sea views.

- pristine white sand beach, clear blue water, stunning sunsets, boutique hotels and luxury villas

Located 13km west of Kuta Lombok (20mins drive) or 17km southwest of Lombok International Airport (25mins drive), lies this beautiful hook in the coastline known as Selong Belanak. The jewel in the crown is Selong Belanak beach itself, but the area also encompasses the surfing beaches of Mawi (just south), Serangan (just west) and TAB (just west).

Selong Belanak beach itself is widely regarded as the best swimming beach in South Lombok with fine chalky white sand, blue water, calm waves and offshore winds for 9 months of the year. There is no coral reef underneath the waves making it family friendly and a great place to learn to surf (for advanced surfers, Mawi offers the most consistent quality surf in the dry season (May-Oct) and Serangan in the wet season (Nov-April)).

This part of South Lombok coastline is unique in that it bends 90 degrees to the west, protecting it from the SE trade winds / SW swells but also creates magical sunsets looking down the wave drenched coastline. Additionally, boat access is excellent (for fishing, spearfishing, yachting) and it's the perfectly suited to calm water activities such as Stand Up Paddling (SUP) and Kayaking. Lastly if eating and chilling is your thing this areas has the only beachfront hotels and restaurants in South Lombok, outside the Novotel...

- Sempiak Villas / Laut Biru on Selong Belanak
- Segara Hotel on Serangan
- Amber Hotel on TAB

The natural beauty, direct airport access and infrastructure has attracted numerous luxury villa and boutique hotel developments, which will add to the tourism over time (spas, yoga / meditation studios, saunas/steamer/ice baths, horse riding, mountain biking, trekking...etc)
