Geographically, it is situated in the eastern part of the island of Java, approximately at coordinates -7.05 latitude and 108.31 longitude. Kabupaten Majalengka lies in the eastern zone within Jawa Barat province: its capital, the city of Majalengka, is approximately 89 kilometers from Bandung, while it is positioned at a distance of roughly 43 kilometers from the city of Cirebon. No independent, detailed statistical or encyclopedic source currently exists for Cintaasih, so the area is presented below based on verifiable data available at the regency (kabupaten) level and the broader district context.
General overview
Cintaasih is one of the villages within the Kecamatan Cingambul administrative district, and as such, forms part of the administrative system of Kabupaten Majalengka. The regency itself, according to data from the first half of 2025, has a population of approximately 1,374,317, making it a relatively populous rural area. The Cingambul district is located in the north-central band of Majalengka kabupaten, where the landscape is predominantly mountainous and agrarian in nature: rice cultivation, horticulture, and small-scale agriculture characterize the area. The name Cintaasih is a Sundanese-Indonesian compound, with a common meaning approximately "the place of love" or "the beloved [place]", reflecting naming traditions prevalent in Sundanese cultural circles. Specific demographic data, territorial extent, or economic indicators pertaining to the village are not found in available sources, so these cannot be provided. However, it can be said that for Majalengka kabupaten as a whole, agriculture and small-scale commerce are the main sources of employment, and this generally applies to villages in the Cingambul district as well.
Real estate and investment
No concrete real estate market data and transaction statistics for Cintaasih are recorded in available sources. Considering the broader context: Kabupaten Majalengka has shown relatively moderate real estate market development in recent decades, which is related to the fact that the kabupaten is not considered a priority industrial or tourism zone within Jawa Barat province – in contrast to, for example, Kabupaten Karawang or the Bandung area. In rural, agricultural areas – such as Kecamatan Cingambul – property prices are typically significantly lower than in the urbanized centers of the province, and demand consists primarily of local, non-investment-oriented buyers. For foreign citizens, the general rules of Indonesian land law apply: foreign private individuals cannot acquire the traditional "Hak Milik" (full ownership) title; instead, limited-term "Hak Pakai" (usage rights) and other legally regulated structures are available. Before making investment decisions, it is advisable in all cases to involve a local lawyer or real estate expert, taking into account current Indonesian real estate law regulations.
Safety and security
No crime statistics or police reports for Cintaasih are available in publicly accessible sources. In general terms, it can be said that Kabupaten Majalengka is considered part of rural West Java, where public security in smaller villages is typically influenced by community cohesion and low urbanization density. Compared to the province's major cities, rural districts – including the Cingambul area – are lower-density, agricultural regions where the presence of organized crime is generally lower, though this cannot be stated with certainty for Cintaasih in the absence of specific local statistics. Travelers and those seeking property are advised to consult with local authorities and community contacts to learn about the current situation.
Tourist attractions
No named tourist attractions are listed in available sources for the village of Cintaasih, so specific details cannot be provided. The broader region, Kabupaten Majalengka, is notable for its natural characteristics: the Ciremai volcano (Gunung Ciremai), which is the highest point in Jawa Barat province, rises within the kabupaten's territory and forms part of the Gunung Ciremai National Park. This mountainous natural attraction holds appeal for the province's hikers and nature enthusiasts, though the national park area and its entrances are not primarily accessed through Kecamatan Cingambul. The mountainous-hilly character of the Cingambul district, however, offers distinctive landscapes in its own right, where rice fields and hillside plantations create a characteristic West Java panorama. No attractions, festivals, or cultural events specifically linked to Cintaasih are listed due to lack of sources.
Summary
Cintaasih is a small, rural settlement in West Java, located in the Cingambul district of Kabupaten Majalengka. No independent, detailed source is available for the village: based on available data, the broader regency is an approximately 1.4 million-population, agricultural area, whose main coordinates are linked to the city of Majalengka and the major cities of Bandung and Cirebon. Cintaasih can be understood primarily as part of the local administrative system, and neither from a tourism nor a real estate market perspective does it possess source-supported, outstanding characteristics. For more detailed information about the region, it is worthwhile to consult local authorities and community sources.
