Property Agent in Mahakam Ulu

Vorneo Property takes on consultations for buying and selling houses and land in Mahakam Ulu, from the regency seat to the villages upriver. The regency was split from Kutai Barat under Law No. 2 of 2013, with its seat at Ujoh Bilang in Long Bagun district. It lies on the upper Mahakam River and borders Sarawak, Malaysia, to the north. Most residents are Dayak, and its main commodities come from forestry and oil palm plantations.

If you want to sell a house or land in Ujoh Bilang or another village, we help set the price and prepare photos and videos that draw buyers, then market it on vorneo.id and Vorneo's social media accounts. We screen buyers before passing them to you. If you're buying, say as a civil servant posted to Ujoh Bilang, we help check the documents, prepare questions for the owner and negotiate the price. Comparable listings from Mahakam Ulu may be hard to find. When that happens, we work out the price with you from recent sales in the same village and the state of the building.

Ujoh Bilang is the seat of government, with the regency office complex not far from the Mahakam River. Upstream from there, Long Pahangai and Long Apari are reached through rapids such as Riam Udang and Riam Panjang, and Long Apari shares a border with Malaysia. The road from Tering in Kutai Barat to Ujoh Bilang is still being built, with full connection targeted for 2027. In the long dry season of 2026, large wooden boats couldn't reach Long Bagun for a time. All of this affects building costs and when a site visit can happen.

On legality: up to 2023, certificates from the land registration programme for Mahakam Ulu residents were issued through the Kutai Barat land office, so first ask which office now handles your plot. Land without a certificate may be held under a village letter or be customary land, and parts of Mahakam Ulu lie within forest zones or timber concessions. Before paying, make sure any release from the village and the customary council is in writing, then check the zoning status. If you'll need a bank loan, ask first whether the bank will accept land in that location as collateral.

If you have a house or land in Ujoh Bilang, Long Bagun or another Mahakam Ulu village, message Vorneo on WhatsApp. The consultation is free with no upfront fee, and commission is only paid if the transaction succeeds. Plot measurements and village discussions take place on site, so we set their timing with the owner from the start. Tell us too whether the place can be reached by road or only by river, since that decides when a site visit can be scheduled.
