This villa is the first of an eventual 45 residences to be completed that will make up Montigo Resorts, a beach-facing hotel and residential compound located in the Nongsa district of Batam, Indonesia.
Batam is an Indonesian island that is popular with Singaporean vacationers. 'Batam was never associated with five-star luxury hospitality, but now things are starting to change,' said Leny Suparman, chief executive officer of KOP Properties, the developer. 'When people come to see for themselves, they are [usually] pleasantly surprised.'
The three-bedroom property currently serves as the show villa for the development and has two stories and spans 7,000 square feet. It is the only residence of the first phase to be completed; the other nine villas in the first phase are slated for completion by the end of 2013.
The residences were designed by Eco-ID, a Singapore architectural firm that designed the Ritz-Carlton Residences, Singapore, which was also developed by KOP. Ms. Suparman said the designers mixed modern architecture with native elements.
The home incorporates materials that are indigenous to Indonesia such as timber and volcanic stones from Bali. The furnishings, many of which were sourced from furniture fairs in Paris, are included in the asking price for the home.
The residences are situated on a slope and have floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the sea. The resort covers some 30 acres.
The master bedroom opens onto the villa's 215-square-foot pool.
The home has three en-suite bathrooms and one powder room in the living room. The master bathroom, shown here, has a Jacuzzi bathtub and fixtures that were procured from Grohe, a German luxury appliances maker.
Residents have access to amenities such as a spa, shown here, a bar and two restaurants. Located off-site but nearby is a 54-hole golf course and seafood restaurants on kelongs, a Malay term for floating wooden structures.
KOP, which is selling the property, will provide residents with complementary private yacht rides from the nearest ferry terminal to Singapore. 'The journey takes about 20 minutes', Ms. Suparman said.
The villa, which was launched at the end of 2011, has an asking price of 1.3 million Singapore dollars (US$1.02 million). Foreigners in Indonesia aren't allowed to hold freehold deeds so the property is available on an 80-year leasehold for non-local owners, said Ms. Suparman.
