A freehold Good Class Bungalow (GCB) at Jervois Hill in the Tanglin Estate has been launched for sale via an expression of interest exercise with a guide price of $80 million, real estate agency Huttons announced on Wednesday (8 April). The property sits on an estimated land area of 15,199 square feet, translating to about $5,263 per square foot. The modern bungalow was completed in 2007 and is situated on elevated ground on the cul-de-sac of Jervois Hill.

What Makes This Jervois Hill GCB Special?
The residence features six en-suite bedrooms, comprising two on the first level, three on the second, and a guest room located adjacent to the swimming pool. The first floor has a grand hall with a ceiling height of up to 6.45 metres and a dining hall equipped with a custom wine cellar — details that reflect the scale and finish expected at this price point.
A verandah on the first level overlooks the greenery towards Chatsworth Road, offering a sense of seclusion despite the property’s proximity to the Orchard Road shopping belt and various embassies. The second level includes two family rooms designed to accommodate multi-generational living, a configuration that is increasingly sought after among ultra-high-net-worth families in Singapore.
The elevated positioning on Jervois Hill’s cul-de-sac provides added privacy and a commanding vantage point — qualities that are difficult to replicate and contribute meaningfully to the property’s premium.
How Rare Are GCB Transactions on Jervois Hill?
Transactions in the Jervois Hill enclave are infrequent, making each listing a noteworthy event in Singapore’s luxury property market. According to Lee Sze Teck, senior director of data analytics at Huttons Asia, the last transaction on Jervois Hill dates back to 2024, where a GCB on a 15,094 sq ft land plot was sold for $58 million.
The scarcity is a function of both limited stock and strong holding sentiment. GCBs are the most prestigious residential asset class in Singapore, with only about 2,800 available across 39 gazetted areas. Ownership is largely restricted to Singapore citizens, further constraining the buyer and seller pool. When a property in a prime enclave like Jervois Hill comes to market, it typically attracts serious interest from a small circle of qualified ultra-high-net-worth individuals.
The $80 million guide price positions this property in the upper echelon of the GCB market, though it remains below the record benchmarks set in the most premium Nassim and Cluny Road addresses. For buyers seeking freehold land in the Tanglin–Chatsworth corridor with immediate livability, the combination of a modern build and generous land area is compelling.
How Does the Pricing Compare to Recent GCB Deals?
At $5,263 psf on land area, the Jervois Hill GCB is priced below the record-setting $6,197 psf achieved by a separate Tanglin Hill GCB that was completed in February 2026. That property, sitting on a plot of about 1,408 square metres near the Orchard Road shopping belt, was purchased by Diona Teh, daughter of the late tycoon Teh Hong Piow, who founded Public Bank.
A $93.9 million purchase of a GCB near the same area also underscores the depth of demand at the top end of the market. These transactions signal that well-heeled buyers continue to view Singapore GCBs as both a lifestyle asset and a store of value, particularly given the city-state’s political stability, rule of law, and favourable tax regime for property owners.
The expression of interest for the Jervois Hill property will close on 31 May 2026, giving qualified buyers a window to evaluate the opportunity. Given the rarity of listings in this enclave, the property is expected to attract interest from both established local families and newly minted citizens with deep pockets.
