Beach Property Ownership Explained.
“Who owns this beach”? According to properties laws in Indonesia, the people own the beach. Essentially, that means that when one buys a beachfront parcel, your property line begins at the high-water mark and extend shoreward. There is a ‘set-back’ that extends one hundred meters from the high-water mark where no dwellings may be built. One can build a shed or similar structure on the set-back.
Dwellings require a local permit. A site & building plan should accompany the permit application; it should include the location of the dwelling on the lot and septic/water well, not unlike most other jurisdictions.
Most of our beachfront and sea-view properties have road and electric grid access. Solar power is a very realistic option for auxillary power. And ‘Star-Link’ is now available for WiFi. We shall discuss: design, building materials, tradespersons and other related matters on another page.
