Villas for Sale in Abiantuwung
Abiantuwung is not next door to Kaba-Kaba. Desa Nyambu sits between the two along most of the direct line, so this large, hilly village is reached through Nyambu rather than across a shared fence, per Wikipedia and Google Maps. It belongs on this site as a second-ring option, not a border neighbour.
Reached Through Nyambu, Not Next Door
Jl. Raya Kaba-Kaba runs the 5.5 kilometre trip in nine to ten minutes by motorbike, passing through Nyambu on the way, per Google Maps.
That extra step matters. Its own eastern edge does touch Nyambu and Kabupaten Badung, but that is not a direct Kaba-Kaba border the way Buwit's or Nyambu's own edges are.
The terrain sits noticeably higher too, at roughly 200 metres elevation against Kaba-Kaba's flatter lowland, reading differently from the ricefield belt closer to the coast.
A Haunted Forest Became a Village
The name splits into "Abian", meaning garden or field, and "Tuwung", meaning bamboo. Local tradition holds the site began as a dense, reputedly haunted bamboo forest, alas tiying, at the edge of the old Marga kingdom's territory, gifted by the Raja of Marga to the settlers who founded it, per Bali Express.
An ancient Ganesha statue, Arca Ganapati, still survives at Pura Puseh Abiantuwung, evidence of the village's roots reaching back to the early Majapahit era. That is a deeper documented history than Kaba-Kaba's own tourism-village branding carries, even without a beach or a villa strip to show for it.
Nine Hamlets Spread Across Hilly Ground
Abiantuwung counted 11,471 residents as of 21 August 2024, making it one of Tabanan's more populous villages, up from 11,782 at the 2022 census, per Wikipedia. Nine dusun make up the village, including Koripan Kaja, Koripan Kelod, Balu, Dakdakan, Tapesan, Yangapi and Taman Surodadi, plus five desa pakraman.
That is a large, settled population living on agricultural and residential land rather than a tourist strip. Its own borders run to Desa Blayu in Kecamatan Marga, Kabupaten Badung, Desa Nyambu, Desa Kediri, Desa Pandak Bandung and Desa Banjar Anyar.
No Listings, but Tax Still Applies
This research turned up no land price, villa listing, rent or yield figure for this village, so there is no market table to show on this page. Ask us directly if you have a block in mind here.
If a rental did eventually happen on this land, Indonesia's rules would still apply regardless of how thin the local market is. Rental income faces a 10% final tax for Indonesian tax residents under Government Regulation PP 34 Tahun 2017, while a non-resident owner faces 20% withholding under PPh Pasal 26, reduced only where a tax treaty and the right paperwork apply, per Gadjian. Get this checked against your own tax position before you plan around it.
Who Should Look Past Abiantuwung
This second-ring village will not suit every buyer on this site:
- Buyers who want to walk to Kaba-Kaba's own centre: this village sits 5.5 kilometres away through Nyambu, not across a shared border.
- Buyers who want flat ricefield land: the terrain here runs hilly, at roughly 200 metres elevation, a different setting from the lowland closer to the coast.
- Buyers who want comparable sales data: no property-portal listing turned up here in this research.
- Buyers chasing a coastal or beach-adjacent block: this village is inland and hilly, with no coastline of its own.
