Getting real estate
in
Malaysia and especially Penang, Lumut and Seri Manjung
is easier then you think. Tropical islands are in the interest of many
people, especially in the west.
However, buying property on or near a tropical islands are beyond the
reach for ordinary people. Pangkor is still relatively unknown to the big
public and therefore getting real estate for a good price is not impossible
though sometimes hard.
The property business in this area is a developing industry.
Since I have only knowledge of what I like I needed the help of a
an expert. We found a few experts! We have separate agents for the
Lumut/Seri Manjung area and for Penang.
Pangkor
Pangkor is NOT Penang! There's hardly any car on the island,
no skyscrapers and the beaches are clean. It's also not necessary
since Pangkor is small enough to go around on motorbike or by taxi.
Pangkor is small, about 25 by 3 km. And Pangkor is surprisingly hilly.
Most of Pangkor is nature reserve which means, it's not for any kind of
development available.
We receive quite a few queries for beach land. Unfortunately there is
hardly any land at the beach available as either it is to difficult to build
(high rocks) or already in use. Every once on a while we do see land for
sale but I have to be honest with you, for the price/quality of the land,
usually the price is too high or the land is too hard to develop. So Pangkor
is not the best option. Plus, if you would be able to buy, you have to bring
all the materials from the mainland.
Penang
Penang is a completely different story. It's a lot bigger then
Pangkor and therefore there is a lot more possible. We have our agent in Penang
to help us out with the latest info about available property.
Development in Penang can be at the island itself but also in
the vicinity, Butterworth on the mainland or other areas.
Penang is interesting for all kinds of budgets. We have set up a series
of pages what we think is interesting in Penang and from what we know is
available.

The heart of Lumut town
Lumut
Lumut is an interesting place to live. There's quite a lot
available in different price classes. Why is Lumut good to live?
Some of the apartments I am going to show you have fantastic views.
Alright, I am biased. But you will have a look for yourself
and see if I am right.
Keep in mind that Lumut has no beach, so beach villas or even land in Lumut
at the beach is available.
In and just outside Lumut there are some great places to
live. Desair is located just outside Lumut on the way to Seri
Manjung. On the hill-top in Lumut there's Harbor View. Further
the Lumut Valley Resort Condominium has apartments for rent available.
Blue Bay resort has great apartments with views on the bay and the
newly build Lumut Waterfront available.
Lumut has it. Although Lumut is basically a very small town
with western styled restaurants and hotels it offers a good
places to live. Have a look at
the possibilities in Lumut.
Seri Manjung
Venice of Perak in Seri Manjung
Another place to set up your tent, so to say. Seri Manjung, a
few kilometers from Lumut, has more variety to offer then Lumut.
In Lumut it is mostly apartments, Seri Manjung gives you the possibility
to rent or buy a house. Especially Venice of Perak is a good designed area
and it's comfortable living there. But as Manjung is rapidly expanding,
there are other areas with new build houses.
Consult our agent for details
The area is called Venice of Perak because there's a little river crossing the
housing area. Perak is the name of the province in which Seri Manjung is located.
When I say houses, I should say bungalows. Nice big bungalows, some
with swimming pools and still reasonable priced.
Check the possibilities in Seri Manjung.
Houses in Sitiawan
Sitiawan
Sitiawan is a nice place to live, like Seri Manjung. You can find some
awesome houses and bungalows here.
Sitiawan is the next town after Seri Manjung, about 9km from Lumut.
Options in Sitiawan are as diverse as the wish of the customers.
Some people ask me, why do you live in Sitiawan? Isn't Lumut
nicer? Or Seri Manjung? But I like this little town. It's a comfortable town,
not too big, not too small. Recommended!
Teluk Senangin
Teluk Senangin is a different story. The location is just opposite of
Pulau Pangkor. There's no real estate for sale but there's some great land
for sale. Teluk Senangin is a small fisherman's village. It hardly sees
tourists but the beach is nice and clean.
Teluk Senangin, possibilities to buy land here
There are a few opportunities for an inventive mind who wants
to build a luxury hotel or a holiday bungalow, this is the place.
Just have a quick look at the possibilities at
Teluk Senangin.
