A FREEHOLD bungalow plot in plush District 11 expected to fetch more than $38 million was put up for sale by tender yesterday.

That price works out to at least $1,686 per sq ft (psf) for the 22,534 sq ft land parcel, which is in a landed enclave and near the Camden Park and Chee Hoon Avenue Good Class Bungalow (GCB) areas.

The site, at No. 16 Tudor Close, is accessible via Dunearn Road and Kheam Hock Road. It is zoned for a two-storey bungalow under the Master Plan 2008 and has approval for sub-division into four bungalow plots.

"Such a prime site is rare and would appeal to boutique developers and extended families who wish to live close together," said Mr Steven Ming, deputy managing director of marketing agent Savills Singapore.

Overall transacted prices of freehold landed detached homes in the prime District 11 ranged between $1,353 psf and $2,160 psf over the first five months of this year excluding strata units, according to caveats lodged with the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA).

At Chee Hoon Avenue a few streets away, a 15,188 sq ft bungalow was sold for $22.9 million or $1,508 psf in February.

A GCB at nearby Jalan Asuhan was put up for sale in October last year but has not been sold, according to URA data. The No. 4 Jalan Asuhan home, which sits on a 45,155 sq ft site, had been tipped to sell at $72 million to $82 million.

In terms of the total sum paid, the most expensive transaction in the district was of a 15,069 sq ft landed home at Camden Park, which was resold for $25 million or $1,659 psf in February.

The tender for the Tudor Close bungalow will close on June 28.

It comes after a tender for a huge bungalow in Nassim Road closed without any firm offer last Thursday.

The Nassim Road bungalow's owner, Wing Tai Holdings chairman Cheng Wai Keung, wanted $250 million to $300 million for the 85,000 sq ft plot. That works out to $2,947 psf to $3,536 psf.

A FREEHOLD bungalow site at 16 Tudor Close has been put on the market, and is expected to fetch in excess of $38 million.

Based on its land area of 22,534 square feet (sq ft), it will cost $1,686 per square foot (psf).

On the site is a two-storey detached house, vacant at the moment and expected to be redeveloped by the buyer.

Under the Master Plan 2008, the plot is zoned for residential use, specifically for a two-storey bungalow; approval has been given, however, for sub-division into four bungalow plots, said Steven Ming, deputy managing director of Savills Singapore, which is brokering the sale.

Such prime sites are rare and would appeal to boutique developers and extended families who wish to live close together but yet enjoy their privacy, he added.

The District 11 property, accessible via Dunearn and Kheam Hock Road, was put on the market by a private individual. It is near the Camden Park and Chee Hoon Avenue Good-Class Bungalow area.

Orchard Road, Dempsey Hill and Holland Village are also not far away, so the site offers an array of retail, gourmet and lifestyle choices, on top of being near schools such as Anglo-Chinese School (Primary) and Nanyang Primary School.

Derrick Tan, an associate director for investment sales at Savills, said the property is expected to be well received because of its attractive attributes: it is well-elevated, of a regular shape and has a north-south orientation.

The tender for the site closes at 3pm on June 28.
