Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at The Gardens at Bundusan
A family-priced condominium in Penampang with big facilities. Here is the case, and its history.
A family price point
Every unit has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and asking prices sit around RM405,000 to RM550,000.
Facilities on a large site
A 50-metre pool, a glass gym, private cabanas and an elevated garden deck of more than an acre, on 5.23 acres.
Views both ways
Depending on the stack, units look to Mount Kinabalu, the South China Sea or over Penampang and Bundusan.
What to weigh: the OC history
Buyers waited more than 18 months for the occupation certificate over a road access dispute. A High Court ruling in January 2019 cleared it, and the OC was issued in February 2019.

The recorded numbers
The price numbers
Recorded sales and asking prices are different things. Transacted figures come from deals recorded with the government valuation department; asking figures are what owners or the developer are listing at.
| Measure | Figure | Source and date |
|---|---|---|
| Asking price for sale | RM405,000 – RM550,000 · about RM480–660 psf | PropertyGuru listings, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent 3 bedrooms | RM1,800 – RM2,500 a month | iProperty listings, Sep 2026 |
EdgeProp does not publish a transacted median for this project, so these are asking prices. A data site estimates the gross yield at about 5%. Ask Jason for recorded sales before you offer.

Is it for you?
Which kind of buyer are you?
The same building suits different people for different reasons. Pick the line that sounds like you.
🏠 Living here yourself
Layouts here run from about 848 to 982 sq ft. Ask me which stacks get the better view and the least afternoon sun; that changes the price more than the floor.
💰 Buying to rent out
Compare the recorded rents in "The price numbers" above with the instalment on your loan. Smaller layouts usually rent faster; larger ones hold tenants longer.
👨👩👧 Family with children
Check the school and clinic distances in the location section, the number of car parks per unit and how busy the lifts are at 7.30 am.
✈️ Buying from overseas
Foreigners can only buy above the state minimum price and pay 8% stamp duty from 2026. Ask me which units here qualify before you shortlist.
Straight talk
What I will not hide from you
Every project has trade-offs. These are the ones I would want to know before paying a deposit.
- ⚠️ Leasehold title. Check how many years remain on the lease; banks lend less, and buyers pay less, as the lease gets shorter.
- ⚠️ Asking prices are not sale prices. Compare any offer with the recorded transacted price per sq ft above before you commit.

I work with local families, investors and buyers from Singapore and overseas. If a project is not right for what you need, I will say so; that is usually worth more than the brochure.
