The owners built this remarkable villa as their personal Bali residence, completing the project in 2019. It was designed to be as comfortable as any residential home in the world, with thoughtful decorations throughout and now you are welcome to experience it for yourself. Conceptualised by renowned Bali based architect Alexis Dornier, the River House was built with locally sourced sandstone and reclaimed timber. In addition, the wooden latticework on the exterior, paired with multiple semi-outdoor spaces, provide different perspectives and viewpoints as you enjoy all the villa has to offer.

The interior design by Somewhere Concepts works to bring you through the grand entrance into an inviting space that blends Bali’s topical outdoors with comfortable finishings. Expect to be flawed by the double-height ceilings, expansive alfresco dining area and poolside tropical gardens. Contemporary minimalism is effortlessly seen throughout the River House. Here you will see the vertical 25m swimming pool, perfectly surrounded by lush greenery to offer shade from the afternoon sun. Experience a new way of living with views of the generous landscaped gardens thoughtfully prepared by the Bali Landscape Company featuring coconut trees, rice fields and river access.

GUEST REVIEWS

We love the use of local materials alongside fine imported furnishings, from the sun-soaked pool deck and stone walls, to the custom-made furniture, Belgian tableware and fine French linen sheets. THE HONEYCOMBERS BALI ★★★★★

There are very few times in a person’s life that you get to step inside a house that will become a testament to architecture, a celebrated building, and truly a work of art. I can’t predict the future, but I’ve seen enough architecture in my lifetime to know that this house is no ordinary house. It is, in fact, history in the making. BALI INTERIORS ★★★★★

Neighborhood highlights

Pererenan is one of the most sought-after locations if not the hot spot in all of Bali. The River House is perfectly located for those that want more than the hustle and bustle of the major tourist areas yet remain close enough to enjoy them. Pererenan is a coastal village town where many expats choose to live because it provides the best of both worlds. We trust you will find everything you need for a comfortable stay including excellent shopping, cafes, bars, surf breaks, and plenty of charming Balinese culture.

I am a nice professional guy who has had experience renting a couple of high-end properties to vacationers for the past few years. I am into cycling (cliche I know), surfing and good eating.
