Rules.

One dollar buys one square foot.

The price never changes during the rush. Minimum claim is $2. There is no maximum.

What you buy is real land in Sumba, Indonesia, and it is secured in your name for 75 years by an individual leasehold contract.

Your total is your rank. Nothing else counts.

The board is ordered by total square feet claimed. Not by when you arrived, not by who you are, not by anything we decide. You can claim again at any time and your total goes up.

Nothing you claim is ever lost.

Somebody passing you does not take anything from you. Your square feet stay yours for the full term whatever happens on the board above you.

This is the whole difference between this and paying for an advertising slot. Your money does not expire.

The ten largest claims get the beachfront.

That is the only way to get a beachfront plot. It cannot be bought separately at any price, it cannot be reserved, and we do not hold any back for ourselves or for anyone we like.

Rank decides who picks first, not who gets land.

When the rush closes, plots are chosen in rank order. Everyone from 3,000 sq ft upwards picks a located plot, starting at number one and going down.

Below 3,000 sq ft the land is still yours. You can camp on it and you can have your flag on it. You just cannot put up a building.

It ends when nobody moves for ten days.

There is no announced date, and that is on purpose. The rush closes when the order of the top 100 has not changed for ten consecutive days, or when all 28,000,000 square feet are claimed, whichever happens first.

Any change to the order of the top 100 restarts the ten days. A change further down the board does not.

First the ranking. Then the contract.

Nothing is signed while the rush is running. When it closes, every claim is formalised one by one into an individual 75 year leasehold contract with PT Eco Beach City, the Indonesian company that owns the land, with the plot number and the coordinates written into it.

Payments on this site are processed by Eco Beach City LTD through Stripe and appear on your statement as RANKING LAND. That company handles the money and nothing else. It does not own the land and it does not sign your contract.

Building is optional, and separate.

A Studio Cabin unlocks at 3,000 sq ft and starts at $32,000, VAT included. A Private Villa unlocks at 11,000 sq ft and starts at $340,000, VAT included. Furniture is not included and starts at $5,000 plus shipping and installation.

None of it is compulsory. You can hold your square feet for 75 years and never build anything.

We make no promise about what it is worth.

You may transfer your leasehold later under the terms of the agreement and the estate rules. If you want us to rent your house out, we do it and keep 25% of the net rental income, and renting on the estate is done through us.

That is a service, not a return. We publish no forecast, no guarantee and no projection of what your land or your house will be worth or will earn. Anyone in this business who gives you those numbers is selling you something else.

The place already exists, and other people are already in it.

The estate has been under construction for two years. There is a padel court in use, a coworking, a restaurant terrace and finished houses. You can fly to Sumba and walk into all of it before you pay us anything.

Investors bought here before you, built their houses and live in or rent them. We say that plainly rather than let you assume you would be first.

You never wait for your land, and you never prepay a builder.

Your square feet are assigned the moment the payment clears, because you took part in the ranking. The contract formalises what you already have.

If you later choose to build, you pay the construction company directly and in instalments against work done. It is never bundled into your claim and we never take it up front.
