Zac’s Take
Zac Ong
Ivory Properties built these as villas, not terraces, and it shows in the numbers: only 11 units, sizes stretching from 3,820 up to a large 6,450 sq ft, with a private lift and private plunge pool built into each unit. That per-unit specificity — not a shared pool everyone queues for, but your own plunge pool — is what separates a real luxury villa development from a marketing dress-up job. Completed in 2012, these are among the older villas on the strip, so budget for updating on top of the price; a 3,694 sq ft villa was listed at about RM2.6M in 2026. At 11 units total, this is about as low-density as landed gets on this island, which means privacy and exclusivity, but also a thin resale market — you may wait longer to sell than in a larger scheme.

Immediate occupancy
Move in within months, not years. Most resales complete in four to six months, a little longer if you need state consent as a foreign buyer.
Verified surroundings
Batu Ferringhi's noise levels, traffic, neighbour mix, and JMC quality are known quantities at Island Resort Semi-Detached Villas.
Established maintenance
The building has a track record. Ask for the management accounts, sinking fund balance and recent meeting minutes before you commit.
Due diligence before buying at Island Resort Semi-Detached Villas
- 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.

Recent prices. A 3,694 sq ft villa was listed at about RM2.6M in 2026 (about RM704 per sq ft); launched from about RM2.33M.
The building is 14 years old. Old enough that the sinking fund and the state of common property matter more than the finishes. Ask for the MC accounts and the last AGM minutes — arrears across the building are the number that predicts your future maintenance bill.
A foreign buyer can purchase here — the RM3M minimum is cleared by the larger units, though not at the entry price. Add the state levy, a flat 8% stamp duty and 3–4 months for state consent.
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.

Island Resort Semi-Detached Villas subsale — common questions
What is the price of Island Resort Semi-Detached Villas?
A 3,694 sq ft villa was listed at about RM2.6M in 2026 (about RM704 per sq ft); launched from about RM2.33M.
Is Island Resort Semi-Detached Villas freehold or leasehold?
Island Resort Semi-Detached Villas is freehold. I have not been able to confirm the land title class — check it with the developer, because a commercial title changes your utility tariffs and loan margin.
Can a foreigner buy at Island Resort Semi-Detached Villas?
Yes, on the larger units. Penang Island sets a RM3,000,000 minimum for foreign buyers of landed property, which the entry price does not clear. MM2H participants have a lower minimum of RM500,000 (residential, up to two homes), which opens the cheaper units too. Add the state levy, a flat 8% stamp duty, and 3–4 months for state consent.
When was Island Resort Semi-Detached Villas completed?
Island Resort Semi-Detached Villas was completed in 2012 by Ivory Properties, so homes here are bought from existing owners.
How big are the homes at Island Resort Semi-Detached Villas?
Homes range from about 3,820 to 6,450 sq ft. There are 11 homes in total.
Do these villas really have a private plunge pool and lift per unit?
Yes, that is listed for this development: a private lift and private plunge pool per unit, not shared facilities, which is a genuine differentiator versus condo-style landed schemes with one communal pool.
