Karangasem

Karangasem sits in Karangasem regency, 59 km from Ngurah Rai airport as the crow flies. East Bali: Amed diving, Mount Agung foothills. Buyers and tenants come here mainly for diving and land, and that demand is what shapes the stock you will see on Pasaran.

Asking prices in Karangasem currently centre on about Rp 2.7 billion for a completed villa and roughly Rp 180 million per are for land. Those medians move quickly with road access and view: a plot on a sealed two-car road prices very differently from one behind a footpath, even a hundred metres apart. Lease terms here run the usual range, so compare years remaining before you compare headline prices.

Day to day, Karangasem works best if you plan around the single access route most traffic uses, and it is worth visiting at the hours that matter for retreats. Walk the neighbourhood at both morning and evening before committing — noise, water pressure and construction next door are things a listing photograph will never tell you.
