SETIA ALAM : S P Setia presented Rimba Villa recently at its flagship township Setia Alam’s exclusive forested enclave. Over 300 invited guests were given a glimpse of the much-awaited project on Saturday as phase 1, comprising 168 units of double-storey semi-detached units, was unveiled in an exciting private preview.

Expected to be completed in 2020, the Rimba Villa collection offers modern tropical-style living complete with four bedrooms and five bathrooms. The interior layout is pragmatically built with wide spaces and extensive use of glass to allow ample natural lighting. Each unit comes with an exclusive roof garden providing owners with their own greenery.

“The feedback we received on Rimba Villa was overwhelmingly positive as many guests gave their unmitigated approval for the exclusive location of the gated and guarded precinct next to an existing forest. Many also expressed their appreciation for the modern concept and design which gives the enclave its exclusive ambience,” said S P Setia’s Setia Alam general manager Tan Siow Chung.

Invited guests at the half-day event were treated to a presentation on Rimba Villa entitled “The Forest Lifestyle and Inspiration” as well as a talk on feng shui by Master Kenny Hoo. Many enthusiastically joined the site visit to experience the serenity of the area which will blend in with the forest that abuts the project, envisioning a lifestyle enveloped in a forest setting.

“Rimba Villa is located next to the entrance of the hiking trails of the Setia Alam forest, so residents will have direct access to the nature reserve,” explained Tan during the site visit. “The master plan was designed to ensure minimal earthworks to ensure the preservation of the site and adjacent forest,” he added.

Rimba Villa is a 73-acre (29.5ha) freehold, residential project with a gross development value of RM645 million. It will comprise 430 double-storey linked semi-detached units with built-ups of 2,653 to 2,769 sq ft and land size of 32ft by 75ft each. The units have an indicative price of around RM1.45 million each.

Besides an exclusive residents’ clubhouse which will be located at the highest point of the project, the other facilities at Rimba Villa include the Grove Gym (an outdoor gym station or par course designed to enable residents to take their fitness routine from inside the gym to out in the park), a barbecue pit, a bird-watching deck, swimming pool, wading pool, jogging track, children’s playground, raindrop pond, mini orchard and canopy tree house.
