Bali's Nuanu Launches Unconventional Property Auction Starting at Rp 1

Nuanu Creative City in Bali is auctioning a 15-meter observatory suite called Stella Solaris, with bidding starting from just Rp 1, running from October 15 to November 15, 2026. The unconventional sales method is drawing attention from potential foreign buyers and investors in Bali's premium property market.

On October 15, 2026, Nuanu Real Estate and Unit.Group announced an auction-style sale of a premium unit called Stella Solaris within the Black Sands Oasis development at Nuanu Creative City in Bali. Unlike conventional real estate sales, no reserve price has been set—bidding starts from just Rp 1, with offers submitted publicly through the company's official website. The auction runs for about one month, from October 15 to November 15, 2026.

Stella Solaris is a 15-meter-tall observatory suite with 66.24 square meters of floor space, blending a modern desert aesthetic with Moroccan-style touches. It features a private art gallery, a living room with onyx stone walls, and a bedroom with ocean views. Unit.Group founder Steven Fedos said, 'We call it an auction because the price depends heavily on what buyers are willing to offer.'

Participants are not required to deposit funds at the time of bidding; payment is processed only after a winner is officially announced. Those who do not win the auction can receive a free furniture upgrade if they choose to purchase another standard unit in the same development. Prospective winners will, however, undergo a due diligence review before the sale is finalized.

Black Sands Oasis comprises 111 units in total, ranging from studios to villas and penthouses. Prices start at Rp 2.07 billion for studio units, while four-bedroom villas are priced up to Rp 8.4 billion. The developer reports that more than 50% of all units across the project have already been sold during the pre-sale phase—though this figure reflects overall project sales, not the outcome of the Stella Solaris auction specifically.

The buildings use a CNC-manufactured steel structure with BIM modeling, designed to withstand earthquakes up to magnitude 9, and come with a 25-year structural warranty. Ownership is structured as a 35-year leasehold, renewable—an important point for foreign buyers to understand before considering a purchase.

Things to Consider

Foreigners interested in bidding or considering a purchase at Black Sands Oasis should first have a local notary (notaris) or lawyer verify the legal terms of the 35-year renewable leasehold structure before committing. While no deposit is required to place a bid, buyers should obtain written clarification on payment terms and due diligence requirements after winning, and consult an Indonesian real estate legal expert before signing any contract.
