CORE Concept Living in Bali: Developments and Buyer Considerations

Who appears in the public record

CORE Concept Living is trying to keep villa development and day-to-day residential management under the same brand. Core Villas, its 17-home development at Seseh in Munggu, illustrates the model: buyers are offered individual pool villas, while the operator is preparing a managed community for residents staying a month or longer. The homes are being marketed as places to live, rather than accommodation built primarily around nightly guest turnover.

The distinction worth making early is between developing a property, owning it and running it. CORE says it develops and operates Core Villas, yet its long-stay information specifies that tenants lease directly from the individual villa owner. CORE handles the relationship and property services. Anyone buying into the project should therefore establish the actual contracting entity and the scope of its obligations, rather than assuming a single brand is the legal counterparty for every part of the arrangement.

What the sources support

There is clear public evidence that CORE Concept Living markets and identifies itself as the developer of Core Villas and LEViRO. The company names Shanny Poijes and Victoria Fernandez as its founders, and a 2025 ANTARA item together with a statement from project supplier Ahti Interiors link CORE to the public launch of LEViRO. What those sources do not establish is the registered seller for each villa, title to the relevant land, the permitting position or the resources available to fulfil a buyer contract.

The Indonesian contracting entity for a particular Core Villas sale could not be verified from the reviewed public pages. That calls for documentary clarification, not a speculative rating of the developer. One commercially meaningful statement does appear in CORE’s July 2026 article on construction compliance: it says instalments follow completed work and the last payment is conditional on delivery of the building fitness certificate and rectification of defects. Buyers should look for those exact protections in the executed documents; publishing the policy is not proof that it applies to every transaction.

What is known and what to verify

FAQ

Projects and buyer context

The Core Villas offering consists of privately plotted pool homes with two-, three- and four-bedroom layouts, released in phases. A public masterplan gives a useful sense of the product, but it does not lock in the inventory or the dimensions of a finished villa. Full live pricing and projected net-return figures are made available through the developer’s enquiry process rather than as a universally fixed price list.

Transactions are quoted in Indonesian rupiah, with foreign-currency amounts presented as indicative conversions. Buyers should also distinguish the building price from a furnished, rental-ready specification: CORE lists a separate US$25,000 furniture and appliance package. Any ownership model that assumes immediate managed letting needs to account for the actual furnishing and operating costs, not just the headline villa price.

CORE’s 2026 buyer guide describes a 25-year contractual land lease with a pre-agreed extension running to 2084. That may be commercially important, but the enforceability, price and mechanics of an extension can only be assessed against the signed agreement and the underlying land rights.

CORE’s developments occupy different parts of the greater Canggu area. Core Villas is positioned around Seseh and Munggu on the west-coast side of Pererenan; LEViRO is also identified with Munggu, while Villa Morada is in Tumbak Bayuh. For an owner considering the Core Villas rental programme, the location thesis is specifically about longer-term residents, for whom schools, daily errands and access routes matter alongside the beach. The exact plot, access and surrounding land use still need checking at property level.

Observable track record

CORE’s public portfolio should not be read as a list of completed developments. Villa Morada in Tumbak Bayuh is presented as a delivered six-bedroom private estate, with the company’s own feature about it dating to January 2024. That is a useful property to ask about or inspect, although a marketing page does not establish the handover record or building approvals.

LEViRO has a public launch history rather than a documented completion history. Indonesian coverage introduced the Munggu project in 2025, and interiors supplier Ahti described attending its September launch. CORE’s more recent development listing still places LEViRO among future concepts. Those accounts can both be true: announcing a scheme and completing its homes are separate milestones.

Core Villas is currently the clearest test of execution at scale. Its sales page shows a built reference villa, but the wider 17-villa scheme remains a development offering, with long-stay openings targeted for Q3 2027. CORE also advertises 20-plus years of property experience and 13 delivered projects. No independent project-by-project completion record was established for those aggregate claims in the sources reviewed.
