JOHOR: A sustainable town is one that provides a comfortable living environment that continues to reward the community well into the future. Horizon Hills is one prime example of Gamuda Land’s commitment towards creating a good town where the community can enjoy long-term sustainable value in terms of a lasting good quality of life and good capital growth.

With more than two decades of experience in town-making, Gamuda Land certainly knows what makes a desirable town. These are derived from towns and developments at good locations, a well-thought-out masterplan, sustainable green environment, mindful town management and maintenance as well as great gathering places with strategically placed facilities and amenities to sustain the community.

Listening to what the land has to say

“When we first came here in 2007, we thought hard about what will make this place unique? Based on our experience of in making good towns, we apply our town-making principles. One of it is listening to what the land has to say, where we study how the land rises and falls, allowing nature to flourish and dictate the masterplan. That inspired us to create Horizon Hills, with homes overlooking the golf course that are undulating and lush,” said Jim Woon, general manager of Horizon Hills.

To-date, 70% of Horizon Hills has been developed, and it is home to over 55,187 trees with a wide range of plants as well as the nesting habitat for birds and other little creatures. This has earned Horizon Hills stripes for being a green township where biodiversity resides symbiotically with modern urbanity. It came as no surprise for the township to win several property awards including the StarProperty Awards 2020 – The Southern Star Award (Excellence). For its thoughtful masterplan, the Iskandar Regional Development Authority (IRDA) named Horizon Hills as Iskandar Malaysia’s “Most Liveable Residence.”

When we get the places right, the town works

Beyond the beautiful landscape, Horizon Hills is mindfully crafted with the community’s convenience in mind. The home place, play place, park place, learning place, working, place eating and shopping places are thoughtfully brought together plus strategically laid out to be well-connected and accessible even by walking or biking.

“One thing for sure, the Covid-19 has invoked our inner appreciation towards green living environments, where the time saved by working from home would be optimised and used for working out in the park.”

“This is where good town management plays a role. With all precautionary measures in public spaces towards Covid-19 well taken care of, like registering visitors, constant upkeep and sanitisation of facilities, residents can enjoy peace of mind while jogging or cycling in the park,” said Jim.

He added that despite Horizon Hills being more than a decade old, the masterplan is future proof for seamless integration of new technologies such as the Gamuda Land mobile app thereby making maintenance of the town easier.

Move-in ready

Those who are on the lookout for a new property would benefit from the overnight policy rate cut by Bank Negara and stimulus packages offered by the government and the developer. Horizon Hills is running the Earns programme that offers low downpayment, cash rewards for home furnishing, a golf club membership and more, which is applicable to both completed and ongoing projects.

Launched in 2018, The Cove precinct in Horizon Hills comprises cluster, semi-detached and bungalow homes that are now completed. Only Semi-detached homes are still available. They are move-in-ready with a built-up size of 3,400 sqft, 4+1 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms and prices starting from RM 1.8mil.

Not only is Horizon Hills known for its mindful masterplan, it has also earned multiple recognitions from Edgeprop.my for being a well-maintained and sustainable town that stands the test of time. With proper maintenance, the value of this development can be sustained over time.

Horizon Hills will be launching the Northwood precinct with 20 limited units of 3-storey semi-detached homes. Each home features built-up size of 4,700 sqft, with a land size of 40ft x 80ft, fitted with 5+1 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms befitting multigenerational living.
