Pre-launch. The land has been identified but not yet bought. We're taking Priority Passes now, and Phase 1 deposits will pay for the land once a sales target is reached. Every figure you see is illustrative until validated.

Phase 1 deposits are held until we reach a sales target. If we don't reach it, every deposit is refunded in full, and so is every Priority Pass. Once the target is reached, deposits are used to buy the land, and we build in two stages, starting with 10 villas and the core shared spaces.

Yes, and we'd encourage it. Register your interest and we'll arrange a visit so you can walk the land before you commit.

Two: buy a whole villa (one, two or three bedrooms), or buy a 1/2 or 1/4 share of one specific villa. A 1/2 share gives you 24 weeks a year; a 1/4 share gives you 12 weeks.

Your villa, or your share of one, set out in a purchase agreement with Xpand's Indonesian company (PT PMA). That company holds the land on a long-term Right to Build title (HGB): 30 years, renewable for 20 and then 30 more. Your villa also has one vote in the owners' association. The exact structure is being finalised with our Indonesian lawyers, and you'll see every document before you pay.

No. Foreigners can't hold freehold land (Hak Milik) in Indonesia. HGB through an Indonesian company is the standard, legal route for foreign buyers.

Share owners book in blocks, and the weeks rotate each year so everyone gets a fair turn in peak season. The full booking rules are in the owners' agreement.

Xpand is built for people who want to live here, part of the year or all of it. We don't promise rental income or price growth. Nothing on this site is an offer of securities.

In Phase 1, from $36,400 for a 1/4 share of a one-bed, up to $407,200 for a whole three-bed. Prices rise as building moves forward. See all prices

Buying before building starts carries more risk, so Phase 1 buyers pay the least. Phase 2 (during the build) costs a little more, and Phase 3 (finished villas) is the full price.

When you sign your purchase agreement, you pay a deposit. Deposits are held until we reach a sales target, set out in your agreement. Once it's reached, deposits are used to buy the land. If it isn't reached in time, every deposit is refunded in full. After the land is bought, further payments go toward building, in stages set out in your agreement.

About $5,000 a year for a one-bed, $8,000 for a two-bed and $11,000 for a three-bed. Share owners pay their part. For example, about $1,250 a year for a 1/4 share of a one-bed. It covers upkeep, the shared spaces, staff, insurance and internet. Final figures are confirmed before you buy.

Yes, for stays of one month or longer, through Xpand's rental program (20% management fee). We don't allow nightly holiday rentals. This is a neighborhood, not a hotel.

Yes. Keep your villa or share for at least 12 months, then sell at the price you choose. Xpand has 30 days to buy it at your asking price first. If it doesn't, you can sell to an approved buyer, who meets the community first. Each resale puts 2% of the price into the community fund.

People who genuinely want to live here: facilitators and teachers, founders, remote workers, artists and makers among them. Every new owner meets the community first, and registering interest commits you to nothing.

Xpand looks after the vision, design, building and day-to-day running. Owners vote on the yearly budget, fee rises above a set limit, big new spending and house rules. There is one vote per villa, with share owners sharing their villa's vote. Owners also elect a council of 3 to 5 people who meet with Xpand regularly. Owner voting starts once every villa is sold or the second building stage is finished.
