You have already admitted that you know nothing about Bali and are just starting your search.
I'm not being negative, rather trying to be helpful to let you know how it works in Bali.
If you want a modern house, new, with all the amenities, and close the main tourist areas, and close to the beach you WILL have to pay more. That's the fact, not an opinion.
When you get to Bali and do some research you will find out that what we are saying is correct, and it really doesn't matter what your opinion is on the matter.
So as I said before, don't expect your inbox to be flooded with offers. You will have to do the work, and I suggest you lower your expectations, and prepare to live somewhere a bit further out.
