Property Malaysia

Mutiara Seputeh isn’t a new development, we first went to see this development at their launch a couple of years ago, at the launch of their very first phase. For those unfamiliar with this development, this project on Bukit Seputeh covers an area of 15 acres with a total of 93 units altogether, comprising of 80 units of three storey semi-detached homes and a very limited number of (13 only) 3 storey bungalows.

The main selling point of Mutiara Seputeh is its location - right near the city, where you’d not think there’d be any land left for a substantial landed property development. And of course its elevated location, and its limited number of units giving it an private enclave that is low density (only 6 units per acre) that most people crave for these days.

Most of the semi-detached units have been snapped up, and owners are awaiting the handover sometime by the mid of this year. Now the developers are pushing the last of the bungalow units in sort of a re-launch, which is actually the third and last phase of the project. The 13 numbers of bungalows are arranged neatly in a curve enclosing the semi-D units, and have an advantage of being the last and most prestigious to be let go.

Another distinguishing feature of the project, especially for the earlier phase of semi-Ds was the number of different layout types that offered the purchasers variety. There were 2 different design types. For the bungalows, there are 5 different types here.

As for the layout design of the bungalows, there isn’t much to comment here. At three floors, and a build up of more than 7000sq.ft. you pretty much can do no wrong. There are large spaces for every room, from the luxurious masterbedroom to living to the kitchen. Each unit has their own private lap pool, and another key feature that catches your attention is the high ceiling design that makes the first impression as you enter.

As for the facade, they’ve veered away from too contemporary a design, we have traditional large roofs and a slight tropical infused facade design to blend with the landscaping. We like it a lot.

The developers are pressing for a high concept development that emphasizes a ‘theme of modern contemporary with water features and lush greeneries’ in addition to it being an exclusive guarded community. Of course with the image of luxury priced semi-Ds and bungalows, the developer can easily find the money to splurge on excesses like this, but from what we can envision it to be, it looks pretty impressive. The theme of good feng shui is also heavily emphasized in their marketing material, so its no secret which market niche they are targeting.

There is a small clubhouse and a playground and much greenery, but other than that there isn’t other facilities in this site. But with the large build up and large garden area for all the units, there is not much point in allocating too much space for recreation within the development. The development boasts top notch security features, besides the guardhouse at the entrance, there is perimeter fencing with security system (like what SP Setia had for the MK project), CCTV for internal roads, and internal security system in the house which includes “Emergency/Panic” button for all floors. In short, the works.

Bottom line - of course its nice. In a three to four million bucks kind of way. But its freehold, its next to mid Valley, very very exclusive.

Hunza are an experience development with many projects in the Klang Valley and in Penang. You can see a list of ongoing and completed projects in their website listed below.
