Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Swiss-Garden Resort Residences
A freehold holiday flat on the Balok beach. Here is the case, and the catch.
On the beach
PropertyGuru notes direct access to Balok Beach, with Batu Hitam Beach a short walk away.
A water-park pool deck
StarProperty lists an infinity pool, wave pool, water slides and a lazy river, with a gym and sauna.
Freehold at a modest price
Freehold tenure, with 2-bedroom units listed from about RM350,000 on Mudah in 2026.
What to weigh: holiday-home demand
At launch the block was sold with a three-year rental arrangement run by the Swiss-Garden hotel group. That arrangement has ended, and the Swiss-Garden International property list did not include this building when checked in October 2026. Ask who manages the building now and how letting works.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Launch price Sand and Pearl series | RM247,000 – RM1.523m | StarProperty review |
| Asking price studio / 1-bed, 460–490 sq ft | RM280,000 – RM350,000 | Mudah listings, Jul–Sep 2026 |
| Asking price 2-bed, 706–761 sq ft | RM350,000 – RM550,000 | Mudah listings, Aug–Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole units | About RM1,600 – RM2,500 a month | Mudah listings, Sep–Oct 2026 |
All figures are asking prices, not transactions. PropertyGuru shows no recorded transactions for this building, and a villa was listed at RM1.9 million on Mudah in August 2026.

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 492 to 3,051 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.
- ⚠️ More than ten years old. Ask for the last AGM minutes and how much maintenance owners still owe; arrears show up as poor upkeep later.
- ⚠️ Asking prices are not sale prices. Compare any offer with the recorded transacted price per sq ft above before you commit.

Stamp duty on the transfer of a home is a flat 8% for foreign buyers from 1 January 2026. Malay reserve land, Bumiputera lots and low-cost units are not open to foreigners. Apartments here are listed well below RM1 million, so they are generally not open to foreign buyers. Only a villa priced at RM1 million or more could qualify.

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.
