Anjir Baru – settlement in Kusan Hulu district, South Kalimantan
Anjir Baru is a small Indonesian settlement located in Kalimantan Selatan (South Kalimantan) province, within the Kabupaten Tanah Bumbu regency and belonging to the Kecamatan Kusan Hulu district. Geographically, it is situated in the southern part of Borneo island, with coordinates approximately 3.45 degrees south latitude and 115.79 degrees east longitude. Direct, settlement-level statistical or encyclopedic sources are not available about the village, so the following description relies on verifiable data from the province and broader region, as well as their framed presentation.
General overview
Anjir Baru belongs to the Kecamatan Kusan Hulu administrative unit, which as part of Kabupaten Tanah Bumbu covers the southeastern region of South Kalimantan province. The province itself – named Kalimantan Selatan – has an area of 38,744 km² and, according to data from the first half of 2025, has a population of approximately 4.33 million. The province's administrative division is organized into 11 kabupatens (regencies) and 2 kotas (urban districts). South Kalimantan province has officially regarded Banjarbaru city as its provincial capital since March 16, 2022; Banjarmasin previously held this role. The province is traditionally home to the Banjar ethnic group, whose culture and language are defining throughout the entire region. Anjir Baru itself appears in all respects to be a smaller rural settlement, whose primary economic activity – similar to other villages in the Kusan Hulu district – is likely tied to agriculture, possibly timber harvesting, though direct, verifiable data on this is not available. Kabupaten Tanah Bumbu regency is one of the relatively younger administrative units in South Kalimantan, and demonstrates the continuous, if uneven, process of economic development in the region.
Real estate and investment
Settlement-level real estate market data verifiable for Anjir Baru is not available. Considering the broader context, South Kalimantan province's real estate market has developed in recent decades under the influence of economic activity driven by coal mining and plantation agriculture (primarily palm oil production), which in certain districts – particularly near larger cities and infrastructure hubs – has led to rising property prices and development interest. In smaller, rural villages – such as Anjir Baru presumably is – the real estate market is considerably more limited and less liquid. An important general framework to note is that in Indonesia, foreign nationals' opportunities for direct land ownership are legally restricted: the Hak Milik (full ownership) category is available only to Indonesian citizens, while for foreigners the Hak Pakai (use rights) and in some cases the Hak Guna Bangunan (building use rights) represent alternatives, with appropriate legal advice. Before any investment decision, it is advisable to consult a local legal expert, especially in a smaller, rural settlement like Anjir Baru, where details of local property relations are more difficult to access.
Safety and security
No settlement-level or district-level crime statistics or verifiable detailed data are available regarding public safety in Anjir Baru. Speaking generally about the broader region, South Kalimantan province, smaller rural villages are typically quieter than the province's larger cities, and the lives of communities living there are characteristically regulated by local customs and close neighborhood relations. For Indonesia as a whole, in smaller, agriculturally-oriented rural areas, daily life typically proceeds peacefully, though this generalization naturally does not replace current, local-level information. Before any stay or investment decision, it is recommended to seek up-to-date information from local authorities and the relevant bodies of Kabupaten Tanah Bumbu.
Tourist attractions
Available source materials do not mention named tourist attractions in the immediate vicinity of Anjir Baru, so it is not possible to record any as fact. Kabupaten Tanah Bumbu regency as a whole, however, encompasses geographically varied terrain in the southeastern part of South Kalimantan, where rainforests, river valleys, and coastal strips facing the Java Sea exist side by side. Kecamatan Kusan Hulu is an interior, terrestrial district where natural environment and rural lifestyle may be the primary attractions for visiting tourists, though no data is available on the existence of organized tourist infrastructure. Regarding the province as a whole, South Kalimantan is known for its natural and cultural attractions – including the traditions of Banjar culture, the distinctive heritage of river transport, and the forests found in the province's interior regions – however, their specific accessibility from Anjir Baru or from the Kusan Hulu district requires individual research.
Summary
Anjir Baru is a small rural settlement in South Kalimantan province, in the Kecamatan Kusan Hulu district within Kabupaten Tanah Bumbu regency, located in the southern part of Borneo. Due to the absence of direct, verifiable settlement-level data, a detailed description of the locality is not possible; according to available provincial-level information, the region is a cultural setting of the Banjar ethnic group, whose provincial capital has been Banjarbaru since 2022. Regarding the real estate market, public safety, and tourist attractions, the general characteristics of the broader region currently provide the primary points of reference, which should be supplemented in every case by current, local-level information before making concrete decisions.
