A house with a large garden in a quiet area, rent paid one or maybe two years in advance: how much in rupiah?
If you can afford somewhere in the range of Rp 50-100 million/year, you
might find something (not sure about a "large garden").
I just spent a couple of weeks looking for a place in and around Sanur. Prices here are skyrocketing as the greed virus kicks in. I looked at some 20-30 houses, most of which were of the silly (non-functional) variety and most were overpriced (IMHO). However, only today I found a very pleasant place, fully furnished (tastefully) , with 4 bedrooms, 5-6 bathrooms (?), phone, garage, hot water, a couple of AC's, satellite dish, a very nice (but small) garden, two upstairs balconies with views worth looking at, etc. About 5-10 minutes to Sanur proper. The yearly rental is Rp 55 million.
The funny thing is that I looked at this place a couple of years ago and missed out by a couple of hours of indecision. The asking price was more then, too (Rp 60 million). It was a "bargain" then and even more so today.
BTW - Denpasar to Singaraja/Lovina is quite a long trip. If I were a taxi driver, I wouldn't do it for Rp 300-400,000. Unlikely to get a fare back south. Then again, I'm not Indonesian.
