Just discovered this channel, love the video style. My wife and I have a large plot of land over looking Lovina full of Jati and Mango Trees. I plan to build there when I retire in a few years, hopefully document everything
Hey guys, that sounds really wonderful. Even looking back on our first episodes now is such a great memory, so definitely document your own journey in some way!
Wow , started with this video that just popped up and now have gone back through all your stories and just watched this one again. Well done to you both, my wife have spent a life doing similar things in Western Australia, building dwellings on bush blocks , renovations right through to our current house build in Margaret River this time built largely by our son, we have also just finished a outside dwelling utilising a sea container and skillion lean to. Always best to design and do as much as you can yourself and it is so refreshing watching you work together to achieve your goals, as a civil engineer I also appreciate the precision in the design and the way you work through every detail.Lastly there is so much Insta TH-cam relating to bali that is all about big flashy villas more suited to the Mediterranean than Bali, this definitely shows a more real side of the Bali of old. Are there any low key coastal hotels etc in your area?
Thank you for your kind words, we appreciate your support. Yes, there are many alternatives to large concrete villas and our wish is that people who want to build in Bali will start thinking more outside the box (and with the environment in mind) 🌱
Finally caught up with all your videos. Completely jealous of everything you've created so far and I'm looking forward to keeping tab's on your journey going forward. On a selfish note, please try to keep regular updates. Looking forward to seeing your plans for the new house. Good luck and hopefully see you in your next video soon.
Do you have advice on trying a lifestyle like this for a family with a child in Bali? Where can you find a rental house, or maybe you have other suggestions if you were just starting out?
Anything is possible if this is the kind of life you want. Some of our friends have had kids here and it's their home now, just like anywhere else in the world 🤗
I thought to myself, finally, people understanding the value in the beautiful land, and her seasons. Mother Earth. Find an older local person who has gardened for decades. Learn about what bugs might descend and how to beat them. It’s the best fun growing food. What about seaweed gathering for the garden? Can you grow courgettes?
@slowlifeinbali oh it's close to my village tianyar ,a few week ago i visit my parents at village and i saw a few foreign tourist there... That's really good cause this time tourists come to other area in bali not only south bali (Kuta,legian,jimabaran,nusa 2 or sanur)
It is the neighbour's pig, unfortunately this is how most pigs in Bali are kept... Many live in concrete pens all their life (not so different from Europe), so this particular pig is actually quite 'lucky'.
We are composting most of our organic waste already. Banana trunks & grass clippings become food for the neighbour's cows, kitchen scraps go to our chickens. We have used most of the old bamboo fence to make an outdoor kitchen (next episode) and a chicken coop. What you can see being burnt is the last remains of what cannot be reused and would take too long to compost. The burning also helps create ash which is extremely mineral rich and helps with fertilizing our soil and gardens 🙏
Memang boleh yaa Warga negara Asing punya properti di Bali? Bukannya ada aturannya? Anda boleh tinggal di Bali atau di Indonesia di manapun anda berda tapi please to be honest jangan bawa budaya barat anda ke Indonesia. Tinggalkan budaya barat anda di negara dan junjung tinggi aturan di negara kami. Berbaur dgn masyarakat Indonesia, jaga alam Indonesia.
wonderful life and inspiring😀
Glad you're enjoying it! 🙏
I have certainly missed these relaxing and calming posts. Such therapy. Glad to see you back ❤
Thank you, we're glad to be back!

Happy to hear about your eco friendly plans and will certainly look forward to your sharing
Thank you, we're excited to share it all with you!
Well done guys !! The additional land looks great !!
Yes it's paradise 🌴
Good to see the both of you back. Good luck...
Thank you so much
Glad to see you back. 💪
Great video & great piloting too! ❤
Thanks!
Goals. Preach what you’re doing. I do wonder who’s cows tho? Can they be free roaming makes me sad when they’re tied up and confined 🥺
We feel you... unfortunately it's the local way of doing things.

We’re so happy you’re enjoying the series so far, we have some exciting plans for the new house coming up, so stay tuned!
@@slowlifeinbali Ready and waiting.
Nice video...❤❤❤
Mantab....👍👍👍
Welcome back❤
Thank you!

Thank you for sharing 🙏 Just discovered and subscribed to your channel. May I ask how many sqm is each of your two lots?
Thank you for your interest in our channel! The first block is approximately 1000 m2 and the second one is 1700 m2.
Would like to visit your place & sharing idea❤️❤️❤️
That’s amazing, you’re very welcome to visit.

We're glad that you understand our sentiment ♥️
How's the weather there? Is it as hot as in canggu Seminyak , or more like in Ubud?
Yes it's very hot and the rainy season is very short (only 2-3 months). So not like Ubud at all!
You should learn about planting and harvesting according to the Moon cycles. The Farmer's Almanac Moon Cycles is the place to start.
Yes that has always intrigued us. The Balinese people already do this so we will draw on the knowledge of our staff as well 🙏
So nice ,beautiful
Where is it the location in north bali??
Is it near lovina?
Near Bondalem
@slowlifeinbali oh it's close to my village tianyar ,a few week ago i visit my parents at village and i saw a few foreign tourist there...
That's really good cause this time tourists come to other area in bali not only south bali (Kuta,legian,jimabaran,nusa 2 or sanur)
Yes we agree!
This is living
Thanks for your lovely comment, yes we think so too!
Building anything in Bali is really a mentally taxing endeavor. To those that don't know this yet, find a really good contruction company.
Absolutely, good advice!
This is a real life .... i mean, real
❤❤❤
Thanks for watching 😀
What brand equipment for the filming scroll? just wanna know more....
We use Fujifilm XH1 with 23mm lens 🙏
Tidak hanya menyewa tanah. Bukan memilikinya.
The pig is tied up, how come it not roaming free?
It is the neighbour's pig, unfortunately this is how most pigs in Bali are kept... Many live in concrete pens all their life (not so different from Europe), so this particular pig is actually quite 'lucky'.
I've been food treeplanter in Bali since 1989. Leave your wenbsite so you cameet me in Ubud.
Yes sounds great! You can contact us through our website 🙏
@slowlifeinbali just did
If I were you, I would compost rather burn trimmings, or any organic waste for that matter.
We are composting most of our organic waste already. Banana trunks & grass clippings become food for the neighbour's cows, kitchen scraps go to our chickens. We have used most of the old bamboo fence to make an outdoor kitchen (next episode) and a chicken coop. What you can see being burnt is the last remains of what cannot be reused and would take too long to compost. The burning also helps create ash which is extremely mineral rich and helps with fertilizing our soil and gardens 🙏

We don't own the land, we have rented it 🙏
