Pigstone Beach Villas
The first site we waited for.
Two villas sit quietly above the black volcanic sand of Pigstone Beach, framed by a palm grove and the western surf. The project established the template we follow now: a single, deliberately chosen location; restrained tropical architecture; a small circle of partners.
Project One is financed by the founders through PT Nusa Estate Group, from land to handover.
As of November 2026, construction is about 65% complete. Handover is targeted for the end of February 2027. An up-to-date construction status is available on request.

How Project One came together.
The stages of Project One, from the March 2026 start to planned handover in February 2027.
- Step 12 weeks
Finding the land.
Months of quiet site visits along the Tabanan shore. We looked at elevation, drainage, access, and the relationship between the parcel and the village. The right piece of land is the one that feels right in three seasons - dry, wet, and the transition between them.
- Step 24 weeks
Due diligence.
Every title checked, every boundary walked with a licensed surveyor. We verify ownership chains, outstanding encumbrances, and historic land-use agreements with the local banjar. Nothing moves forward until the paperwork is cleaner than the surf.
- Step 31 month
Architectural plans.
Restrained tropical architecture drawn in collaboration with a local atelier. Stone, teak, and lime plaster - sized for the site rather than the spreadsheet. Every room oriented to the western sky, every window placed for cross-ventilation and privacy.
- Step 4a · Construction2 weeks
Land preparation.
The site is cleared, leveled, and drained. Topsoil is stockpiled for the garden phase. Temporary access roads are laid, and the perimeter is fenced. A resident engineer marks every boundary and benchmark before a single foundation is dug.
- Step 4b · Construction1 month
Foundations.
Deep footings poured to local seismic standards. Reinforced concrete columns and ground beams create the skeleton that will carry stone walls and timber roofs. Every batch of concrete is tested; every rebar joint is inspected before the pour.
- Step 4c · Construction2 months
Roofing and structure.
Traditional timber trusses engineered for tropical wind loads, clad in hand-cut alang-alang thatch with fire-retardant treatment underneath. The roof is the most visible element of the building - it is where most of the craft lives.
- Step 4d · Construction1 month, 2 weeks
Walls, floors, and finish.
Volcanic stone walls laid by hand. Terrazzo floors poured in situ and polished to a soft sheen. Teak doors and windows fitted with brass hardware. Bathrooms built in stone and polished concrete, open to the sky where privacy allows.
- Step 4e · Construction1 month, 2 weeks
MEP and final works.
Electrical, plumbing, and solar hot-water systems installed and pressure-tested. Pools tiled and balanced. Lighting designed in layers - ambient, task, and accent - so the villas feel alive at every hour.
- Step 51 month, 2 weeks
Furniture and interiors.
Each piece chosen or commissioned for the space. Four-poster beds in reclaimed teak, hand-loomed textiles, and ceramics from local artisans. Nothing mass-produced, nothing generic. The villa should feel like it has always been here.
- Step 62 weeks
Garden and handover.
The stockpiled topsoil returns. Frangipani, heliconia, and bird of paradise planted for scale, colour, and scent. A lawn seeded and irrigated. Final snagging, professional photography, and soft opening to the operator - captured at the first full moon after the rains.
One villa is being sold. One remains open.
One of the two villas is currently in the process of being sold. The other is still open to buyers. Get in touch for details, plans and a visit.
Buyers' pre-contract deposits are held in escrow by a notary, so you can start your own due diligence with your money secure.
