    Cempaga Hills??

    A friend is considering a land purchase in Cempaga Hills but a local is recommending against due to supposedly unfriendly villagers. Any insight would be appreciated.

    Is Lovina a good area to buy?

    I consider that as a blessing. Otherwise we will have all the Jakarta people and Japanese Tourist ruining the serenity of the north. Prices will go nuts, and it will take two hours to go accross the road like in Legian.

    good morning donfuego. I am not sure if I am the right person to give advice. There are plenty expats that live in Lovina Areas that might answer your question better. When we were looking for a land, we went to Kaliasem, Seririt, Anturan, Kalibukbuk, Tukad Mangga and even Kalipakse and...

    Glad you're safer! Polly, sorry to learn about your home invasion. Glad you and your family are still with us. Too bad it takes something like this to spur great ideas and actions. Remember too, loose lips sink ships especially in today's technological world.

    Biogas - anyone tried it?

    Save on LPG? Interesting way to maybe save on elpiji. Might be sitting on a bigger bomb though, lol. However I doubt pressures are at all substantial. I don't care to farm pigs to have enough feedstock. Not sure two of us could get a cooker going enough to boil water. Need to read up on it some...

    More work for the Septic Sages

    Hi Gil, We are about 4.2 km up from Lovina but immediately fronting the very narrow paved village road. So you think the suction truck is still iffy if ever required? Did you install bonafide septic tank and drain field at your place or different sewer solution?

    We agree Thanks for the help Spicy, we agree it is important to know whether water is available and we had wrote it is at least immediately available from a community spring system but we also plan to catch rain and greywater. Your cite about the dryness up there can be a good thing as it...
