Jungle and gardens of palm trees, frangipani, aloe vera, papaya and jackfruit trees surround the villa, which is one of 10 homes in this gated community promoted as the brainchild of “visionaries, artists, musicians, surfers, yogis and socially conscious entrepreneurs.” The community offers communal gardens, parking, security and maintenance services.

Mas, renowned for its traditional wood carvers, is about 12 miles north of Denpasar, Bali’s capital. Ubud, a collection of inland villages known for its spiritualists and expatriate artists, and which served as the setting for the 2006 best-selling book “Eat, Pray, Love,” is a few miles north. The closest airport is Ngurah Rai International Airport, about 20 miles southwest.

The Indonesian province of Bali, with roughly 4.3 million residents on a principal island and several smaller islands, has seen its real estate market rally through various international and regional crises in recent decades, but the global pandemic has been a blow, gutting tourism, particularly in areas like Ubud, local agents said.

Indonesia, the world’s 14th largest country by area, comprising more than 17,000 islands, has an incredibly diverse property market, with limited statistical data, agents said. One oft-used source, the Knight Frank Prime International Residential Index, showed a 1.2 percent dip in luxury residential prices for 2020 in Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital, on the island of Java, about 720 miles west of Bali.
