Country View
Country View has one project on this site: Aurora Resort Villas at Aurora Sentral, Iskandar Puteri, Johor. These are 464 double-storey link villas on 40 acres inside a 163.92-acre township, freehold land with a strata title on each villa, in fifteen layouts across the Sterling and Legacy collections, from 2,833 sq ft built-up on standard 24 by 75 ft lots, every villa with four en-suite bedrooms plus a powder room and utility room. The land carries a commercial title that the developer states permits tourism-related use. Country View does not publish a price list for the villas, so this site carries no price band.
The builder is Country View Resources Sdn Bhd (200001021248 / 523855-A), the development arm of Bursa-listed Country View Berhad (198101012190 / 78320-K). This is a Johor developer building in Johor, and its earlier work is finished and lived in: Taman Universiti, Taman Nusa Sentral, Taman Nusa Indah, Taman Nusa Bestari Jaya and Residence at the Peak can all be driven through today. Because the parent is listed, the accounts are public. For the quarter ended 31 May 2026 the group reported net profit of RM21.1 million on revenue of RM83.4 million, with first-half net profit of RM41.45 million; market capitalisation was RM318 million at 28 July 2026 and the stock had risen 40% over the preceding year. Aurora Resort Villas itself is finished: Country View states completion in March 2025, 215 Phase 1 buyers collected keys at the clubhouse between 7 April and 13 May 2025, and a further handover began on 18 May 2026. The project won Ingenious Resort Living Development at the iProperty Development Excellence Awards 2021.
Disclosure. This site has found no financial or licensing irregularity attached to Country View Berhad or Country View Resources – it is a small, profitable, dividend-paying listed developer rather than a distressed one, and you can read the filings yourself. Three things are recorded for balance. In the same quarter that profit rose 15.3% on lower costs, revenue fell 18.9% year on year on fewer property sales, and the board's own words are that it remains cautious on the Johor market. The commercial title is a genuine feature if you intend to let short-term, but it is also a cost: commercial-category property in Malaysia is generally assessed at commercial rates for quit rent and assessment, utilities are commonly billed at commercial rather than domestic tariffs, and some banks treat it differently. And because each villa is landed strata rather than individual title, there is a management corporation, a share-unit allocation and a recurring monthly maintenance charge.
Before committing, ask in writing for the exact land-use category on the title and any restriction in interest, and get the current maintenance rate and the management corporation's accounts. Model the commercial quit rent, assessment and utility tariffs into your holding cost rather than assuming domestic rates, and confirm with your bank in advance how it will value and finance commercial-title landed strata.
