Tentang properti ini
Laga Island is a whole island of about five hectares, with nobody living on it. It lies off the east coast of North Sulawesi, in Bolaang Mongondow Timur Regency, and Sulawesi.travel sells it on an exclusive mandate from the owner. One side is sheltered, with white beaches of coral sand. The other side faces the open water and is lined with granite boulders. A reef rings the island, and inside it a shallow lagoon with a sandy floor reaches deep water about one hundred metres out.

One side is sheltered, with white beaches of coral sand. The other side faces the open water and is lined with granite boulders. A reef rings the island, and inside it a shallow lagoon with a sandy floor reaches deep water about one hundred metres out.
Away from the shore, the land climbs to a low ridge covered in forest and old coconut palms. Between the high points is an open, grassy dip, the obvious place to build, with a view over the channel to the mountains on the mainland. The island has no buildings, no business running on it and no one living there.
It suits a small resort or dive lodge, a private home for a family, or land kept for conservation. There is no mains power or water. Plan on solar panels with batteries, rainwater collection and desalination, and include them in the purchase budget together with the certification costs explained further down this page.

Hak dan dokumen
The island is held under a Letter C, not a certificate
Most island listings in Indonesia describe a Letter C as "complete and strong documents". That is a seller's phrasing. A Letter C is an entry in the village land book, historically used for land tax; it evidences recognised occupation and is accepted by BPN as supporting evidence for certification. It is not a certificate of ownership, it is not conclusive against a third-party claim, it does not fix boundaries or area, it cannot be mortgaged, and it cannot be held by a foreign national or a foreign-invested company in that form.

We disclose this up front because it is the single most important line in the listing, and because it is the item on which island purchases in Sulawesi most often fail. It is workable, we run the certification with the owner and a licensed PPAT before or in parallel with your purchase, on an agreed timetable with your deposit held at the notary. You are not asked to buy a Letter C and hope.

Small-island allocation
Approximately 30% of the island area remains under state control as public and green zone; the balance is available for private right. Applied at certification, and it defines your usable footprint.
BPN and regional government
Timeframes are indicative, drawn from comparable small-island files, and vary by regency. Regulations governing small-island land rights and foreign investment change; each step is confirmed by the acting notary/PPAT and your own counsel before it is relied upon. Sulawesi.travel is not a law firm and does not provide legal or tax advice.
Getting to Manado
Sam Ratulangi International Airport (MDC) is North Sulawesi's international gateway and the reason this part of the province is viable for a guest-facing business at all, it already carries the dive traffic for Bunaken and Lembeh. It is a genuine international airport rather than a regional strip, with roughly 190 scheduled flights a week.

Particulars are provided in good faith from information supplied by the owner and from our own site visits, and do not form part of any offer or contract. Areas, boundaries, timeframes and costs are indicative and must be independently verified. The property is held under a Letter C entry and is not currently certificated; no representation is made that certification will be granted, or granted within any particular period. Indonesian law restricts the land rights available to foreign nationals and foreign-invested companies, and restricts the proportion of a small island that may be held under private right. Prospective purchasers must take their own independent legal, tax and technical advice. Photographs are the property of Sulawesi.travel and may not be reproduced or redistributed without written permission. Sulawesi.travel acts as intermediary under written mandate from the owner and is remunerated by the seller on completion.
