Leisure Farm, nestled in Johor’s Iskandar Puteri, offers a proposition that is both ambitious and intriguing: a verdant sanctuary that balances tranquillity with modern convenience.

Just a short drive from Singapore and Southeast Asia’s largest urban integrated development, the estate promises a lifestyle where rural charm meets urban sophistication.

At the helm of this vision is Mulpha International Bhd’s development division, renowned for creating luxurious homes and award-winning communities across Australia and Malaysia. It had the foresight to transform 1,765 acres of former palm oil estate into this green paradise, way before the Second Link Expressway or Iskandar Puteri was even conceived.

“This is actually one of Mulpha’s largest and earliest acquisitions,” said its general manager, Marc Lee. “The company acquired it in the late 1980s with a vision to turn it into something luxurious, where Singaporeans and Johorians could both reside in the new and upcoming western tract of Johor.”

Their foresight paid off: Leisure Farm has become a benchmark for luxury living. It has garnered accolades, including the FIABCI Malaysia Best Master Plan Development Award (2006) and the Asean Property Awards Malaysia 2018/2019 for Best Luxury Development.

Significantly, it holds the distinction of being Iskandar Puteri’s first Green Building Index-certified community, a testament to its sustainable design ethos. Indeed, the estate offers more than homes; it delivers an experience. Amenities here include scenic walking trails, orchards, clubhouses, and a dedicated dog park.

A particular highlight is its equestrian centre, home to more than 25 horses. Here, residents can enjoy professional riding lessons or leisurely trail rides through the estate’s lush surroundings – an offering that adds a sense of exclusivity and elegance to the property.

Lee shared that Leisure Farm is in a unique position to allow people to “live their most fulfilling life, especially post-pandemic, when we’ve had to reconsider many things that we’ve actually taken for granted”.

“We see people making a well-calculated decision on where they want to stay, where they want to go to bed every night, and where they want to wake up every morning,” he added.

With exquisitely designed residences that promise a slice of heaven on earth, you can happily build your family and career at Leisure Farm in style. In fact, say goodbye to stress when you move here, where the homes are the epitome of fine living.

A key feature of the estate is Residensi Bayou, a low-density enclave featuring three-storey Super Link, Garden Link, and semi-detached homes. Boasting open-plan layouts, premium fittings, and high-end appliances, these residences are designed to marry functionality with luxury.

“When Mulpha designs products, we draw on our international exposure and experience to really decide what we think the customer would appreciate most,” said Lee.

Residensi Bayou’s master bedrooms and bathrooms, in particular, offer an unmatched level of refinement, combining spacious layouts with thoughtful detailing. According to Lee, this approach ensures these homes “outcompete and outserve most large bungalows, providing not just space but usability without a heavy footprint”.

SECURITY

Luxury means little without peace of mind, which is why Leisure Farm takes security seriously. With 24/7 surveillance, electric fences, and double-gated entrances at precinct and main levels, you can rest assured your family is safe.

“Security has been a paramount factor in our estate management plan,” Lee explained, addressing concerns often associated with suburban living in Johor.

Ultimately, what sets Leisure Farm apart is its sense of community. The Balé Social, a vibrant resto-bar, serves as the heart of the estate, fostering connections among residents. Events and gatherings create a welcoming environment where neighbours can bond and build lasting relationships.

For those seeking a retreat from the ordinary, Leisure Farm offers an unparalleled opportunity to combine the serenity of nature with the conveniences of modern living. Prospective buyers are invited to experience it firsthand at the sales gallery – a chance to witness a harmonious blend of sophistication and sustainability.
