BENNU HOUSE - ECO LUXURY JOGLO VILLA COMPOUND IN PEJENG, UBUD — 3 ARCHITECT-DESIGNED UNITS, RICE FIELD VIEWS, FEATURED IN “SEEN UNSEEN”

Featured on the front cover of the architectural home design book Seen Unseen by Alejandra Cisneros of Magnolia Studios, this is one of the most recognised properties in the Ubud area — and one that earns that distinction through genuine architectural quality. Three architect-designed eco luxury Joglo villas sit directly on working rice fields in Pejeng, forming a compound of rare character: steep alang-alang thatched rooflines, exposed bamboo rafters, antique timber panels in faded jade and weathered white, and stepping stone pathways through lush tropical planting.

Living and dining pavilions open fully to the outdoors, with teak decks extending over the paddy and rice field views on three sides. Interiors feel collected rather than styled — antique green timber walls, terracotta urns, layered textiles and warm rattan lighting. The bathrooms match the ambition of the rest of the property, including a sunken garden bathtub set into an open-air planted terrace with nothing above it but sky. All five bathrooms across the compound embrace natural materials and outdoor elements that make every space feel connected to the landscape around it.

The estate totals 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms across three private villa units, fully completed with IMB building permit and located just 2 km from Ubud centre. Whether as a private residence, high-performing rental or retreat space, this is a rare and well-credentialed opportunity in the Ubud property market.
