Freehold Ownership Explained for Foreign Buyers
Hak Milik (freehold title, often shown as SHM) is reserved for Indonesian citizens. Foreign buyers have three legal routes: leasehold (Hak Sewa, usually 25-30 years and extendable), Hak Pakai with a valid stay permit, or a foreign-owned company (PT PMA) holding the land under HGB for longer-term, freehold-style control. Nominee arrangements are illegal and now carry criminal sanctions in Bali.
Before you buy any freehold villa, use an independent notary (PPAT) to check the certificate, confirm the zoning, and budget for acquisition costs of roughly 7 to 12 percent on top of the price, depending on the structure. Read our guides on whether foreigners can buy property in Bali and buying freehold property through a PT PMA.
Freehold vs Leasehold Villas in Bali
Freehold-style ownership suits buyers who want long-term control and stronger resale positioning, and it costs more to enter and structure. Leasehold has a lower upfront cost and needs no company, which suits most foreign buyers. Compare both: browse our leasehold villas for sale, or see all Bali villas for sale.

Frequently Asked Questions About Freehold Villas for Sale in Bali
Can foreigners buy a freehold villa in Bali?
Not in their own name. Hak Milik is reserved for Indonesian citizens. Foreigners can buy through a PT PMA company holding the land under HGB, or choose leasehold (25-30 years, extendable) or Hak Pakai with a valid stay permit.
What is the difference between Hak Milik and HGB?
Hak Milik is full freehold ownership and can only be held by Indonesian citizens. HGB (Hak Guna Bangunan) is a long-term right to build and hold the property that can be extended, and it can be held by a PT PMA company.
Is freehold better than leasehold in Bali?
Freehold-style ownership gives longer-term control and stronger resale positioning, at a higher entry and setup cost. Leasehold has a lower upfront cost and needs no company, which suits most foreign buyers.
Where can I find freehold villas for sale in Bali?
