An Eco Oasis in Bali Offering Upscale Green Living and a Sound Dome is Selling at Auction
2 min
An eco-chic oasis in Bali, Indonesia, is up for auction and will sell to the highest bidder with no reserve.
Spanning more than 15,000 square feet, the turnkey nature-lover’s estate, known as Villa Krtajna is in Canggu, a resort village on the south coast of the island that’s surrounded by terraced rice paddies and known for its surf beaches.
Consisting of a primary residence and a separate loft, the property—currently on the sales market with a $1.95 million asking price—has a total of six bedrooms and nine full bathrooms.
The Concierge Auctions sale, in cooperation with Vivi Aprilia of OXO Group Indonesia, opened up to bids this week and will run until the hammer falls on Sept. 7.
Built with polished concrete, aluminium and recycled antique teak, the biophilic spread “embodies a fusion of nature and sustainable living, designed to enhance well-being and create a healthier environment,” the listing said.
No artificial colours can be found across the home, making for an organic palette of soft greys and warm browns from the concrete and wood construction.
Inside, a wooden walkway over a shallow pool in a double-height foyer leads into the home where walls of glass open up much of the property to the outdoors. There’s a sun-filled and open-plan living, kitchen and dining space, and a floating wooden staircase leads upstairs, where there’s the primary suite, two offices and a roof garden.
“Overall, this home prioritises sustainability, a connection to nature and utmost wellness for its future owners,” the listing said.
One of those priorities is underlined by the spa, which is fitted with a steam room, a cold plunge and a multipurpose sound dome, to be used for meditation, sound therapy or a massage space.
The semi-detached two-bedroom loft house has a pool and a sun deck and can be used for extra space or to provide a source of income.
The home also boasts a host of green-approved amenities, including a solar-powered energy system, a water treatment plant for pure drinking water, a rainwater harvesting system and low-chemical pools.
Mansion Global couldn’t determine the owner of the home.

Mount French Lodge offers a rare mix of privacy, scale and hospitality potential as demand grows for prestige estates beyond beachside hotspots.

Mount French Lodge, one of the most remarkable private estates in Queensland’s Scenic Rim, has been brought to market, offering a glimpse into the growing appetite for high-end lifestyle properties beyond the state’s traditional beachside enclaves.
Located in the tiny locality of Charlwood, around 100km inland from Brisbane and home to just 146 residents at the 2021 Census, the estate stands in stark contrast to its quiet surroundings. Set across nearly 100 acres and positioned some 600 feet above sea level, the property occupies a commanding vantage point beneath the escarpments of Mount French.
It’s this combination of elevation, scale and seclusion that defines the estate, not just as a private residence, but as an experience-led destination. Mount French Lodge has been recognised in both the 2024 and 2025 Best of Queensland Experiences, reflecting a broader shift towards luxury rural retreats that blur the line between home, hospitality and investment.
Last sold for $3.65 million in 2021 to Brisbane-based entrepreneur Tim Woodhouse, the estate has since evolved into a multifaceted holding. At its core is a central lodge, complemented by guest accommodation, entertaining spaces and resort-style amenities spread across two distinct plateaus.
In total, the property comprises 12 bedrooms configured across eight self-contained apartments within multiple lodges. At its heart is the Great Room, a central gathering space anchored by a large living area and fireplace. Nearby, a fully equipped outdoor pavilion with barbecue facilities sits alongside the estate’s swimming pool.
The property is being marketed as a private compound, ranch, corporate retreat and a wedding venue, highlighting its potential as a lifestyle asset with income-generating capability. This kind of flexibility is increasingly resonating with buyers, particularly as demand grows for properties that can serve as multigenerational homes, wellness retreats or boutique accommodation offerings.
Despite its sense of isolation, Mount French Lodge remains within relatively easy reach of Brisbane, around an hour by road or just minutes by helicopter. That balance of accessibility and privacy underscores the broader appeal of the Scenic Rim, which continues to emerge as a quiet achiever in Queensland’s prestige property market.
The listing is being handled by Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty agents Sandy Davies and Nicholas Miranda, and is expected to attract interest from both domestic and international buyers.
