21 November 2025, Singapore - A highly coveted and rare freehold hilltop land parcel in District 11 has been launched for sale. Situated just off Dunearn Road and Shelford Road and has been held under single-family ownership for nearly seven decades. The estate is offered for sale via private treaty and has a guide price $55 million which translates to an average price of around $2,273.57 psf based on a land area of approximately 24,189 sq ft (2,247.24 sq m).
Set discreetly behind mature greenery and elevated from the main road, the property offers exceptional privacy and exclusivity. Accessed via a gently rising driveway, the residence reveals itself only upon entering the grounds-an arrival experience that is increasingly uncommon in one of Singapore's most established premium residential enclaves. Originally completed in 1953, the home predates much of the modern Bukit Timah landscape that exists today.
Henry Benjamin Lim, Associate Branch District Director, Head of GCB and Prestige Landed at PropNex, commented: "The site offers significant redevelopment potential under URA's 3-storey mixed landed zoning. Its natural elevation supports the possibility of 4 to 4.5-storey homes, including a basement level that can be incorporated without impacting the surrounding streetscape. Its rare, regular land shape also enables highly efficient subdivision planning. Opportunities of this nature-combining freehold tenure, elevation, regular configuration, and flexible redevelopment capacity are exceptionally scarce."
Depending on planning intent and architectural design, the land parcel may accommodate a range of configurations, including:
Four substantial detached homes (as explored in current feasibility studies)
A mix of detached and semi-detached units
Up to ten landed homes comprising semi-detached and terrace houses, subject to regulatory approval
Beyond its redevelopment versatility, the site benefits from close proximity to leading schools, key MRT stations, and major transport corridors factors that underpin long-term desirability and value resilience. Its elevated profile further enhances privacy and offers future homeowners a distinguished architectural presence rarely available in the current landed property market.
