The Verandah @ Eco Botanic at a glance
Every figure here comes from the developer, the government housing register or the property records named at the foot of the page. Where sources disagree, the range is shown. Where nobody has published a number, it is not on this page.
Development
The Verandah @ Eco Botanic
Phase 1 of the Eco Botanic township by Eco World Development Group; the next phase was The Chateau (EdgeProp)
Address
Jalan Eko Botani

Tenure
Freehold
EdgeProp and PropertyGuru
Completed
September 2016
EdgeProp, March 2017: fully sold and delivered to buyers in September 2016
Units
624
Cluster homes and semi-Ds (EdgeProp)
Layouts
About 2,340–3,420 sq ft
Built-up range at launch (EdgeProp)
Township
Eco Botanic
Launched 2013 on freehold land; EdgeProp gave 270 acres in 2017, while EdgeProp Singapore gave 470 acres in 2024 after later land additions, so records differ
Foreign buyers
Most units, on price
Semi-D and most cluster asking prices are above RM1 million; Bumiputera lots are excluded
Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at The Verandah
Large freehold houses in a mature, guarded township next to EduCity. Here is the case, and the catch.
Next to EduCity
Eco Botanic sits beside EduCity and its international schools and universities, and PropertyGuru places Legoland Malaysia about 1.8 km away.
Big freehold houses, already lived in
The 624 cluster homes and semi-Ds were fully sold and handed over in September 2016, so this is a settled neighbourhood with its own clubhouse and shops nearby.
A deep record of sales
NAPIC data shown on list.my records 109 home sales in Eco Botanic from 2021 to 2026, with a median of RM1.38 million and RM617 psf, so you can price against real deals.
What to weigh: township-wide figures and the drive
The transacted and asking rows cover several Eco Botanic precincts, not only The Verandah, so compare the exact house type. EdgeProp Singapore puts the township about 30 minutes’ drive from the Tuas checkpoint.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Transacted price Eco Botanic homes, 2021–2026, 109 sales | Median RM1.38m · RM617 psf | NAPIC data via list.my, viewed Oct 2026 |
| Launch price The Verandah, at launch | About RM1.3m–2.3m | EdgeProp, March 2017 |
| Asking price semi-Ds for sale, Eco Botanic | About RM1.99m–3.2m · RM541–875 psf | iProperty, Oct 2026 |
| Asking price cluster houses for sale, Eco Botanic | About RM910,000–3.1m · RM506–938 psf | PropertyGuru, Oct 2026 |
The transacted row is NAPIC subsale data as shown on list.my for all Eco Botanic homes from 2021 to 2026 (double-storey terraces, semi-Ds and a cluster house), not only The Verandah. Sale rows are asking prices seen on iProperty and PropertyGuru in October 2026 across Eco Botanic precincts, not transactions. We did not find enough rental listings to quote a rent range.

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
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 (RM1 million in Johor) 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.
- ⚠️ A newer project, so many owners are renting out at the same time. Expect competition for tenants for the first few years.
- ⚠️ Landed homes: check the land title, the facing, and whether the house has had extensions that need approved plans.
- ⚠️ Asking prices are not sale prices. Compare any offer with the recorded transacted price per sq ft above before you commit.
The real cost
What buying here costs in 2026
Worked example for a unit at RM1,990,000, around the typical asking price here. Your figures will differ with the price and the bank.

| Lawyer, sale agreement (incl. 8% SST) | RM22,842 | RM22,842 |

Estimates only. Stamp duty: 1–4% tiers for Malaysians and PRs, 8% flat for foreigners from 1 Jan 2026. Legal fees follow the Solicitors’ Remuneration Order 2023. First-time Malaysian buyers of homes up to RM500,000 may get a stamp duty exemption until 2027. Valuation, disbursements and moving costs are not included.

Frequently asked questions
How many homes are there and what sizes?
EdgeProp records 624 cluster homes and semi-detached houses in The Verandah, with built-up areas of about 2,340 to 3,420 sq ft. Current semi-D listings in Eco Botanic are mostly about 3,200 to 3,420 sq ft on land of about 3,200 sq ft or more.
Is The Verandah freehold?
Yes. EdgeProp describes Eco Botanic as a freehold development, and PropertyGuru also records freehold tenure. Ask your lawyer to confirm it from the title.
Can a foreigner buy here?
In Johor a foreign buyer generally needs to pay at least RM1 million for a residential property, with Johor state consent. Since 1 July 2025 Johor charges foreign buyers a consent levy of 3% of the price or RM30,000, whichever is higher, and stamp duty on transfers to foreigners is a flat 8% from 1 January 2026. Bumiputera lots, low-cost and affordable units, Malay Reserve land and single or one-and-a-half-storey terraces are closed to foreigners. The Verandah launched at RM1.3 million to RM2.3 million and semi-D asking prices now start near RM2 million, so most homes clear the price line; EdgeProp’s report mentions Bumiputera units in the township, so check the lot status first.

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.
