Cintadamai – a village in Kecamatan Sukaresmi, in the West Java region of Kabupaten Garut
Cintadamai is a small settlement in Indonesia that belongs to the Kecamatan Sukaresmi administrative district, forming part of Kabupaten Garut in Jawa Barat (West Java) province, in the central-southern portion of the island of Java. Based on its coordinates (−7.24° S, 107.80° E), it is located in the interior, hilly areas of Garut regency. Kabupaten Garut itself is situated in the southern portion of Jawa Barat province, and is bordered on the north by Kabupaten Sumedang, on the east by Kabupaten Tasikmalaya, on the south by the Indian Ocean, and on the west and northwest by Kabupaten Bandung and Kabupaten Cianjur. Since no independent, settlement-level encyclopedic sources are available for Cintadamai, the following description relies primarily on verified data at the Kabupaten Garut level and the general context of Kecamatan Sukaresmi.
General overview
Cintadamai is one of the villages of Kecamatan Sukaresmi, which administratively forms part of Kabupaten Garut. The capital of Garut regency is located in the Kecamatan Tarogong Kidul area, and the kabupaten as a whole is known as one of the significant and extensive administrative units of Jawa Barat province. The Sukaresmi district is situated in the interior areas of Garut regency near hilly terrain, where the natural environment – the volcanic soil, topography, and relatively cooler climate – are characteristic features of the region. Cintadamai itself does not appear in independent tourism or economic sources, which suggests that it functions primarily as an agricultural area or minor residential locality, and does not belong among the prominently visited settlements of the Garut region. Kabupaten Garut as a whole, however, is fairly well known in West Java, both for its natural endowments and its agricultural character.
Real estate and investment
Concrete, settlement-level data on Cintadamai's real estate market is not available from publicly accessible sources. The broader Kabupaten Garut real estate market is generally characterized by being significantly more affordable than the neighboring Bandung agglomeration, with more moderate prices and demand for both agricultural land and smaller residential properties. The interior hilly districts of Garut regency – such as Sukaresmi – are typically active for a local buyer base and attract urban investors to a lesser extent than the busier, more frequently visited municipalities in the region. As a general Indonesian regulatory framework, it should be noted that foreign nationals cannot directly acquire full ownership rights (Hak Milik) to property in Indonesia; only Indonesian citizens are entitled to this; the legal structures available to foreigners (such as Hak Pakai, nominal ownership, or PT PMA arrangements) require detailed legal advice, and these rules apply uniformly throughout the country, including in Kabupaten Garut.
Safety and security
Publicly accessible, settlement-level crime or public security statistics are not available for Cintadamai and Kecamatan Sukaresmi. Generally speaking, the rural districts of Kabupaten Garut – including hilly, sparsely populated villages – are typically considered less-burdened areas in West Java compared to major urban agglomerations, though this does not guarantee safety; rather, it reflects the general pattern of statistically rarer crime occurrence. Travelers and residents are advised to seek up-to-date information from local authorities, reliable local acquaintances, or Indonesian representative offices, since assessing public security at the local level requires current, field-experience-based knowledge.
Tourist attractions
No tourism attractions directly identifiable by name to Cintadamai can be found in available sources. Kabupaten Garut as a whole, however, is one of West Java's naturally well-endowed regencies: the kabupaten extends southward to the shores of the Indian Ocean, and its territory contains numerous natural, cultural, and religious attractions – though these cannot be directly linked to Cintadamai, and their precise distance cannot be determined without sources. Kecamatan Sukaresmi is an interior district of Garut regency located near hilly terrain, where the landscape and natural environment are generally valued features of the region. For those interested in learning more about the broader natural and cultural offerings of Kabupaten Garut, it is advisable to seek information about local tourism opportunities starting from the regency's capital, the Tarogong Kidul district.
Summary
Cintadamai is a small, documented relatively little-known settlement in Jawa Barat province, within the administrative district of Kecamatan Sukaresmi, forming part of Kabupaten Garut. In the absence of independent, settlement-level data, what can reliably be said about the locality is that it is located in the interior, hilly areas of Garut regency, and its character is shaped by the agricultural and natural endowments characteristic of the broader region. For those interested in Kabupaten Garut – whether for tourism or property purposes – it is advisable to seek information within the broader context of the regency as a whole, and to consult current field or official sources for settlement-level details.
