Kertabasuki – a village in Maja district, eastern part of Kabupaten Majalengka
Kertabasuki is an Indonesian village (desa) that belongs to the Kecamatan Maja administrative district as part of Kabupaten Majalengka in Jawa Barat (West Java) province on the main island of Java. Based on its coordinates (-6.8701856, 108.2807559), it is located in the central-western part of the kabupaten. The seat of Kabupaten Majalengka, Kecamatan Majalengka, is approximately 89 kilometers northeast of Bandung and roughly 43 kilometers southwest of Cirebon — Kertabasuki thus lies in an area between two significant West Javanese urban centers. Detailed, independently verified sources specifically about the village itself are not currently available; the characterization below is based on regency-level data and generally verifiable relationships within the broader region.
General overview
Kertabasuki is a relatively small-scale agricultural rural settlement typical of West Java, whose exact population and area are not yet documented in publicly accessible, authenticated sources. As one of the villages in Kecamatan Maja, it fits into the kabupaten's administrative system, where data from the first half of 2025 indicate a total population of 1,374,317 residents. This population figure indicates that Kabupaten Majalengka ranks among the more densely inhabited rural areas of West Java. The kabupaten's economy has traditionally been determined by agriculture, particularly rice cultivation, tobacco production, and various horticultural crops; these characteristics apply to villages in Maja district, presumably including Kertabasuki as well, though this cannot currently be substantiated with sources specifically relating to the village. Kecamatan Maja is considered among the more accessible parts of the kabupaten in terms of transportation, as the regency's main road network connects the smaller villages in the area with the kabupaten seat and broader regional centers.
Real estate and investment
No identified real estate market data specific to Kertabasuki is available; therefore, the following presents general real estate market conditions for Kabupaten Majalengka and the broader West Java region. In recent years, Kabupaten Majalengka has been within the sphere of influence of the economic axis developing between Bandung and Cirebon; the Kertajati international airport (Bandar Udara Internasional Jawa Barat), which opened in 2019, is located on the kabupaten's territory and is expected to have a moderate and potentially increasing longer-term impact on real estate values in the region, particularly in areas near the airport. In distinctly rural zones such as Kertabasuki, real estate prices are typically lower than in more urbanized areas, and demand is primarily local in nature. For foreign citizens, Indonesian law restricts real estate acquisition options: foreigners generally cannot acquire full ownership rights (Hak Milik) over land, but are only entitled to limited-duration use or building possession rights (Hak Pakai, Hak Guna Bangunan), which are generally exercised through an authorized local partner or PT PMA (foreign direct investment company). This general Indonesian regulation applies to Kertabasuki as it does to any other part of the country.
Safety and security
No publicly available sources contain village-level public safety statistics or police reports specific to Kertabasuki. Regarding the broader region—that is, Kabupaten Majalengka and West Java in general—it can be noted that rural, agricultural village areas in Indonesia are generally characterized by lower crime rates than major cities, though specific village-level statistics cannot currently be provided in this case. Police stations (Polres, Polsek) operate at the kabupaten seat and in larger district centers, bearing responsibility for maintaining security at the kecamatan level. For accurate and current information regarding local perceptions of public safety, interested parties are best advised to contact local authorities and the kabupaten administration.
Tourist attractions
No independent tourism sources are available specifically for Kertabasuki village, making it impossible to identify named local attractions. Regarding generally known tourism characteristics for Kabupaten Majalengka as a whole, several natural and cultural landmarks can be found within the kabupaten's territory; however, these can only be mentioned at the regency level, not tied specifically to Kertabasuki. Within the regency, Gunung Ciremai, West Java's highest point, is located and belongs to the Ciremai–Tilu–Jakapura National Park; this volcanic peak is a well-known trekking destination in the region. Additionally, Kecamatan Majalengka and other parts of the kabupaten are characterized by numerous Sundanese cultural traditions and agricultural landscapes. Regarding any potential tourism appeal of Kertabasuki—should such exist—no precise, village-level data is available to offer reliable comment.
Summary
Kertabasuki is a West Javanese village belonging to Kecamatan Maja and located in Kabupaten Majalengka, for which detailed, independently verified sources are not currently publicly available. Based on regency-level data, the kabupaten lies between Bandung and Cirebon with a combined population exceeding 1.3 million at the beginning of 2025, and such villages are among its agricultural rural areas. Broader development processes in the region—including the presence of Kertajati airport—may have longer-term impacts on the kabupaten's real estate market, but these can only be considered as part of wider regional processes when applied directly to Kertabasuki. For current, village-level information, it is advisable to consult local and kabupaten-level administrative sources.
