Pejeng Kawan (Ubud): Rice Fields, the Green Harmony Case

Where it is

Pejeng is a historic area: Pura Penataran Sasih with its bronze "Moon of Pejeng" drum, Pura Kebo Edan, and to the south in Bedulu the 11th-century Goa Gajah cave and Yeh Pulu. Pejeng Kawan ("west Pejeng") is the part nearest Ubud: 3–4 km east of the Jl. Raya Ubud / Jl. Raya Goa Gajah junction along village roads. Ubud centre 5–10 minutes depending on the spot, Monkey Forest 10–12, airport about 50.

The landscape is rice fields with terraces along the ravines of the Petanu and Pakerisan rivers; villas stand on the field edges facing the rice.

Zoning and documents

Pejeng is where rice fields (green, partly LP2B) sit beside the villages' residential zone (yellow). Tourist density is lower than in Ubud, so "rice-view" plots that are actually in the green zone are more common here. An LSD/LP2B check through the notary is no formality.

Green Harmony — 4 identical 84 m² two-storey villas (kitchen-living 16.4 m², bedroom 18.6 m², study 16.7 m²) along the rice fields, with pools and terraces. The project file holds a validation dated 17.10.2025 and land documents; there is no final PBG/SLF file with a number, and we say so rather than mark the permit as obtained. It is the question to ask before any resale purchase here.

Water and terrain

The Petanu and Pakerisan valleys are active watersheds: terraces and subak channels decide where water goes in a downpour. For a plot on a field edge the level relative to the channel and the last wet season's record (marks on neighbours' walls, photos) matter. Water — wells and PDAM in the village; a commercial well needs a SIPA.

Infrastructure nearby

The village has almost no tourist infrastructure of its own — a plus for guests seeking quiet, a minus for those who want a restaurant two steps away. Everything needed is 5–10 minutes away in central Ubud and on Jl. Raya Goa Gajah: cafés, minimarkets, a clinic. Ari Canti hospital in Mas — 10–15 minutes.

Prices and actual yield

Land is at the lower end of the Ubud range of $250–750/m²: further from Jl. Raya Ubud and with zoning limits. Green Harmony sold at $95,000 per villa; over January–September 2025 the four villas produced $89,229 gross revenue and $47,415 net owner income at 88.2% average occupancy, ranging from $1,778 (February) to $7,418 (August) per villa per month; annual yield per villa 11.6–18.1% (Betterplace operator reports).

Who it suits: an investor who wants Ubud occupancy at a price below the centre, and guests of the "rice outside the window, centre in 10 minutes" kind.

FAQ

Where do the Green Harmony numbers come from?

From the monthly reports of the operator Betterplace for January–September 2025: revenue, costs and owner payouts for each of the four villas. We open the reports to investors on request.

Does Green Harmony have a PBG and SLF?

There is no final PBG/SLF file with a number in the project folder — there is a validation dated 17.10.2025 and land documents. We do not mark a permit as obtained without proof; it is one of the questions to ask at any delivered property.

Can I buy a villa at Green Harmony?

All four villas are sold and operating. The project on sale now is Mirador in Lodtunduh; we show Green Harmony as the fact base for occupancy and income.
