Long-Awaited New Release for Malaysia’s Sepang Gold Coast
Such was the popularity of the stilt-supported villas on Malaysia’s Sepang Gold Coast Palm that they’ve all-but sold out. However, an opportunity is still available to buy into this Government-backed exotic paradise in the shape of the Tropical Cluster Village set onshore at the root of the Golden Palm Tree. Also in the safe management of five-star hotel brand Swiss-Belhotel, returns at the Tropical Cluster Village are to be just as significant.
Sepang Gold Coast is Malaysia’s tropical showcase to the world. 22km of sheltered sandy coastline delineated for hotels, a waterside town, an eco-tourism area and several luxury residential resorts. The Tropical Cluster Village is made up of 220 apartments and penthouses as well as two and three bedroom villas, each blending modern with traditional, Maldivian with Polynesian, to make the most of the stunning countryside and far-reaching views across the Straits of Malacca. The apartments have chic glass lifts, penthouses boast private swimming pools and open verandahs whilst the resort swimming pool adjoins water features with mandarin ducks and Koi carp viewed through tempered glass. Lush landscaping and gardens soften this watery oasis.
 Chris Sawyer from GEM Estates comments, “The release of the Tropical Cluster Village couldn’t come too soon. Such was the runaway success of the Golden Palm Tree that prices have risen no less than three times calculating a 62% return on investment to date for fortunate participants. A similar story can be expected from the Tropical Cluster Village as, with Swiss-Belhotel’s management, an 8% guaranteed rental is in place for two years followed by a 13 year rental pool where that percentage should nudge even higher. Malaysia has a strong demand for prime rental accommodation fuelled by significant international interest and also from residents of nearby Kuala Lumpur, a 75 minute drive away, with a wealthy 7.2 million-strong population eyeing relaxing breaks within the Gold Coast resort. Year-round sunshine and pristine beaches complete the winning formula.”
A central Clubhouse serves the entire community with a range of facilities including a swimming pool, gymnasiums and Spa, business centre, library and café with sweeping viewing deck. Sepang Gold Coast, the macro-project in which it sits, offers a tantalizing array of shops, restaurants, cafés, boutique hotel resorts, a marina, as well as plenty for the children and their willing chaperones including a theme park, aquarium, open zoo and even a children’s’ hotel. With an eco theme running through the masterplan, Sepang Gold Coast has also added several eco-tourism areas and an Institute of Oceanography. The award-winning Kuala Lumpur International Airport is a hassle-free half hour drive as is the iconic Sepang F1 circuit.
 The fully furnished properties within the Tropical Cluster Village are priced from £68,000 GBP for one bedroom apartments and £123,000 GBP for two bedrooms. A deposit of just 30% is required, payable in two stages, with a 70% mortgage on offer on a drawdown basis. Completion is expected for 2011. Owners have 14 days free holiday entitlement per annum, 15 – 20% capital appreciation is expected each year on top of the outlined rental guarantee and capital gains tax sits at a perfect zero.
