Jabal Kubis – small settlement in North Kolaka district, South Sulawesi
Jabal Kubis is a small settlement in Sulawesi Tenggara Province (Southeast Sulawesi) in Indonesia. Administratively, it belongs to Kecamatan Kodeoha district, which is part of Kabupaten Kolaka Utara (North Kolaka regency). Based on its coordinates (approximately 3.4° south latitude and 121° east longitude), the settlement is located in the interior, mountainous and forested areas of Sulawesi island. The available source material extends only to provincial level, so the following sections present verifiable provincial data and general characteristics of this region of Sulawesi.
General overview
Jabal Kubis, as part of Kecamatan Kodeoha, falls within the administrative unit of Kabupaten Kolaka Utara, which extends across the northern part of Sulawesi Tenggara Province. The province itself lies on the southeastern projection of the Sulawesi Peninsula, geographically between 2°45' and 6°15' south latitude, and 120°45' and 124°30' east longitude, with a land area of approximately 38,140 km². According to data from the first half of 2025, the total population of Sulawesi Tenggara Province was 2,848,747 people. Jabal Kubis itself does not appear in available encyclopedic sources, which suggests it is a small village, primarily characterized by agricultural or forestry activities, embedded in a sparsely urbanized environment typical of interior Sulawesi. In the interior areas of Kodeoha district, far from the coast, farming and forestry are traditionally dominant activities, though direct source material is not available regarding this specific village.
Real estate and investment
Reliable real estate market data based on property registries or market transactions is not available in publicly accessible sources for Jabal Kubis and its immediate surroundings. In the broader context—at the level of Kabupaten Kolaka Utara and Sulawesi Tenggara Province—it can be stated that the region's real estate market is far less developed than tourist-focused Indonesian areas (such as Bali or major cities in Java). In interior, sparsely populated districts, land prices are generally low, though investment value appreciation is also less predictable, partly due to limitations in infrastructure development. Indonesia's real estate regulations establish generally applicable frameworks for foreign nationals: foreign individuals generally cannot acquire full ownership (Hak Milik) of Indonesian real estate as a principal rule, but may access property only through specified legal arrangements, such as long-term lease arrangements (Hak Pakai or Hak Sewa). These regulations apply uniformly across the entire country to foreign interested parties, including the Jabal Kubis region.
Safety and security
Security-specific statistics or analysis regarding Jabal Kubis is not available in publicly accessible sources. Regarding the broader region, Sulawesi Tenggara Province in general, it can be said that compared to the Indonesian average, rural and sparsely populated interior areas typically have lower crime rates than major cities, though specific provincial or district statistics on public security were not available in the source material used. For travelers and residents, it is generally recommended to consult the most recent announcements from the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs or travel information sources dealing with the ASEAN region regarding the current situation, as this information can change rapidly.
Tourist attractions
The available source material does not identify any specific tourist attraction, natural or cultural site connected to Jabal Kubis. The broader environment of Kabupaten Kolaka Utara and Sulawesi Tenggara Province in general possess natural features characteristic of Sulawesi island: its terrain is mountainous, and its rivers and forests are among areas known for biodiversity of the island's interior. Along the province's coastline, coral reefs and marine wildlife attract those interested in diving and marine tourism, though these opportunities are more relevant in coastal areas. Due to its interior location, the immediate natural environment (mountains, forest) could form the basis of local experiences for Jabal Kubis, but no source-based specifics are available regarding this village.
Summary
Jabal Kubis is a small settlement in Sulawesi Tenggara Province, in Kecamatan Kodeoha district, part of Kabupaten Kolaka Utara, which is not documented in detail in publicly accessible sources. Available data is at provincial level: Sulawesi Tenggara had nearly 2.85 million residents in the first half of 2025 and is located in the southeastern part of Sulawesi island. Regarding Jabal Kubis, reliable settlement-level sources are not available regarding tourism, the real estate market, or public security, so those interested should obtain current information about the location from local authorities or direct on-site experience.
