Planters’ Haven, a whopping 360 acre development comprising orchard homes will be launching its next phase with built ups at about 5000sf. The development was initially launched at about 10 years ago. I remember reading about this interesting development in some property forum sometime back and was mesmerised by it’s offering…a place that would be extremely awesome to own when one retires someday.

Last year together with Canon, they organised a photo taking competition at Planters’ Haven site and the photos that were churned out were simply breathtaking. Pics above are some of the winning entries.

Planters’ Haven is located near Nilai town about 10km to the east of the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) in Sepang and 18km to the south of the new Putrajaya. Access from the KL-Seremban highway is via the Nilai Interchange, which is 25 minutes from the Sungai Besi toll plaza adjacent to the North-South Highway.

More information on the development at http://www.planters-haven.com/. There’s an old article dated back to 1997 with some interesting pricing after the jump.
