Land for Sale in Gambut, Banjar Regency

Gambut holds the highest land prices among Banjar Regency's districts, just below central Martapura itself. Its position on Jalan A. Yani from kilometre 12 to 16, right between Banjarmasin and Banjarbaru, makes every strip of land along the main road contested by housing developers and business operators alike.
Price here depends heavily on distance from the road. Plots fronting Jalan A. Yani directly, around Malintang and Kayu Bawang, can sit at the upper end of Banjar Regency's land market, while plots set back in villages such as Tambak Sirang, Guntung Papuyu, Banyu Hirang, or Handil are far cheaper, largely because they remain unprepared, raw peatland.
The name gambut is not just a label, it is a warning: most ground in this district is soft, waterlogged peat swamp that needs raising (filling) and compacting, sometimes with galam timber piling, before it is truly build-ready. That preparation cost can be significant, so calculate it as part of your total investment, not an afterthought at the end.
For a medium to long horizon, kavling land in Gambut is attractive for its strategic spot on the corridor linking two cities, with subsidised housing projects and new estates continuing to spring up around it. Just confirm legality first, since land in the inner villages is often still girik or family-inherited, without a freehold certificate (SHM).

Common Questions
How much is land per square metre in Gambut?
Land on the main Jalan A. Yani corridor, such as Malintang and Kayu Bawang, generally runs Rp250,000 to Rp600,000 per square metre, while plots in inner villages can be far cheaper. We can source a plot to match your budget and needs.
Why is Gambut's land called peatland?
Because the district's name is taken directly from gambut, soft organic swampland that absorbs water easily. Most plots need filling and compacting, sometimes with galam piling, before they are build-ready.
Is land in Gambut good for kavling investment?
Fairly promising, thanks to its position on the corridor linking Banjarmasin and Banjarbaru and the wave of housing projects around it, but still factor in land-preparation costs and confirm legality before buying.
What legal risks apply to land in Gambut's inner villages?
Some land in villages such as Tambak Sirang or Banyu Hirang still holds girik status or is family-inherited without a freehold certificate (SHM). It's best to verify the ownership history and upgrade to SHM before any major transaction.
