SETIAHILLS Ampang, the country's first spa villas, is out to woo those in search of luxury living amid the embrace of nature with its limited edition of 45 lavish residences.
Located on the last 15 acres in SP Setia Bhd's 255-acre Bukit Indah Ampang, the premium bungalows perched atop the highest point of Bukit Indah adjacent to the Ampang Forest Reserve provide residents a panoramic view of the Kuala Lumpur skyline.
SP Setia divisional general manager of investment and business development Wong Tuck Wai said Setiahills’s tropical spa villas have redefined luxury living.
“It is our interpretation of resort style living where you can relax and be pampered, truly your own holiday-destination home.
“We believe buyers will like the spa villa concept with the resort lifestyle elements and carefully thought out layout with spacious areas,” he added.
It is an exclusive project that seeks to recreate the nostalgia of traditional homes with thoughtful architectural features.
According to Wong, homeowners will find Setiahills a private haven as it is nestled against the forest reserve while located in the established Ampang area that is so convenient and accessible.
At Setiahills, residents get to enjoy a perpetual holiday resort and bask in a host of luxurious features such as a private swimming pool, relaxing outdoor spa and massage deck.
The master bedrooms are designed like villas - spacious and fitted with roof garden and outdoor shower.
Fitted with smart home alarm features, owners also get to enjoy a four-acre green lung within the low-density guarded development of only 45 spas villas, or about 3 units per acre on a 15-acre land. There are 13 designs of 2 and 2˝-storey and 3 and 3˝-storey villas.
With built up ranging from 7,600 sq ft to 11,000 sq ft and land areas from 6,000 sq ft to 30,000 sq ft, the spa villas are priced from RM2.3mil to RM3.6mil a unit.
“We believe Setiahills offers good value for money as the built up pricing is only from RM300 per sq ft,” Wong said.
Being the only up-market project on an exclusive hillock in Ampang, the development has become a big hit among affluent Ampang locals who want to reside in the area but upgrade to a more luxurious environment.
Ampang is a matured neighbourhood with middle to upper class neighbourhoods and there is a lack of luxurious high-end projects within a secured area like Setiahills.
Since its launch in January, the project with a total gross development value of RM120mil has recorded 60% sales.
Bukit Indah Ampang in the heart of Ampang comprises some 3,000 residential and commercial units. Launched in December 1990, the sold out project neighbours other premier developments in the Ampang-Ulu Kelang area and is only 20 minutes from Kuala Lumpur.
Among the signature features of the township is an exclusive range of condominiums such as Emerald Hill Condominiums, Crystal Towers and Sri Baiduri that are nestled on high vantage points with good views of the city.
