Zac’s Take
Zac Ong
Begonia is the newer Botanica.CT phase by MTT in Balik Pulau: 60 freehold two-storey semi-detached homes in three layouts, Gratitude, Unique and Harmony, of about 1,929 to 2,149 sq ft, completed in 2025.
Move-in-ready homes were offered from about RM804,000, and a 2,200 sq ft semi-D was listed at about RM1.2M in 2026.
That's well under what a comparable semi-D costs closer to George Town, and that's the trade: land, quiet and a lower price in exchange for a longer drive. It suits families who want a new semi-D with real outdoor space. Foreign buyers need RM3M for landed homes on the island, so it's for Malaysians and MM2H participants.

Due diligence before buying at Begonia @ Botanica.CT
- 1.Individual title status — Confirm whether individual title has issued and is in the seller's name. Master-title landed transactions carry extra steps and time.
- 2.Approved extensions — Most landed resales have some extension. Ask for the approved plan — unapproved structures can be an issue at your own resale or refinancing.
- 3.Drainage and ground level — Walk the perimeter and ask neighbours directly about flooding history. Penang's heavy-rain events are the honest test, not a dry-day viewing.
- 4.Gated scheme fees and rules — For gated-and-guarded schemes, confirm the monthly fee, what it covers, and the collection rate. Poor collection means declining security cover.
- 5.Roof, structure and termites — Commission an inspection for anything over fifteen years old. Roof and termite remediation are the two costs that most often blow a landed budget.

Verified sub-sale asking prices. Asking is not transacted — expect movement between the two.
Recent prices. October 2026 developer offer: packages from RM788,840 on selected units, rebates of up to 18%, free SPA and loan legal fees and transfer stamp duty. Earlier move-in-ready offers from about RM804,000; a semi-D of about 2,200 sq ft listed for resale at about RM1.2M in 2026.
The building is 1 year old. Still young. The defects liability period has long expired, so anything outstanding is now the management corporation’s problem and, through the sinking fund, partly yours. Check what was actually rectified.
Every unit here sits below the RM3M foreign-buyer minimum, so this building is open to Malaysian and PR buyers only.
Selling rather than buying? The RPGT rates and the 21B retention decide what you keep — and if you are near the five-to-six-year line, the date matters more than the price.
