More villas up for preview

MTT Properties and Deve- lopment Sdn Bhd has opened the fourth residential phase of its sprawling self-sustainable garden development BOTANICA.CT in Balik Pulau for preview.

According to the company’s mar- keting manager Michelle Goh, future residents of BOTANICA 4 can look forward to living in harmony with mother nature in a tranquil enclave.

The phases comprise 29 three-storey Tropical Hillside Villas, with each villa having an average built-up area of 6,000sq ft.

The villas will sit on cascading hillslope plots ranging between 9,000sq ft and 16,000sq ft.

“There are seven designs to choose from, each engineered to complement the plots’ natural terrain and layout,” Goh pointed out.

She said that each five-bedroom villa was equipped with an elevator, a swimming pool, water features, pool deck, Jacuzzi, cabana, separate wet and dry kitchens, private lanai and a large porch area that can accommodate at least three vehicles.
