O nce upon a time... Before the modern era of linked houses, apartments and condominiums, there was the bungalow. With huge gardens and plenty of orchard trees surrounding the bungalow, this style of living cultivated an appreciation of open spaces and a sense of freedom that no city dwelling, no matter how luxurious, can offer. Recapture that feeling of blue skies overhead, nature all around and the wind in your hair, right at home where you are most comfortable, most peaceful. Welcome to Planters’ Haven.
How it all began... Planters’ Haven is an attempt to recreate the orchard or dusun landscape from yesteryears. It was considered a pioneering concept for a premium, spacious, gated community. The unique concept features eight bangalow designs, all timeless, all classic. The development embodies spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding hills and provides a secure and guarded community amidst the lush greenery of nature.
I dreamed of waking up in my childhood home. The sun has just risen. The air is cool.
The fragrant garden beckons me with a glorious sight. The orchard, my playground, is calling me.
Wake up gently, like in your childhood, within the wonders of a premier residential community of just 158 classic bungalows .
The wide and wild varieties of flora and fauna at Planters’ Haven can fill a handsome coffee table book of its own.
Here I discovered the secrets of life and the wonders of nature...
How the fruits of the earth are the most wonderful gift of all...

Security and peace of mind At Planters’ Haven, peace of mind is an important and crucial aspect. Being a 270 acre premier residential community surrounded by orchard land, security has to be well planned and thought out. Planters’ Haven is the first gated community to use the world renown Gallager security management system in Malaysia. This complete system includes a Power Fencing system with Touch Card, security link to the main Guardhouse and 24 hours on-ground security patrol. The guards on site are trained and armed to respond to any security situation. This proven security management system is employed in premium gated communities all over the world and also by the Police Headquarters in Bukit Aman.
Retire every evening to the security of your home and family, within the comfort of your wildest dream house.
For a moment, I am sad that the day is ending

Night after night, the stars in the sky taught me the continuity of life.
The cycle of past, present and future.
