Villa Natura: A Rare Freehold Landed Development Tucked Into Lentor's Quiet Side
Everyone’s been watching the condo launches stack up along Lentor Hills Road. Lentor Mansion, Lentor Hills Residences, Lentoria. 99-year leasehold after 99-year leasehold.
But something different is happening around the corner on Tung Po Avenue.
Villa Natura is freehold landed. 11 homes at 2G Tung Po Avenue, sitting right beside the existing Atelier Villas enclave. In a precinct that’s been all about condos, this is the landed play nobody expected.

What you’re getting
The developer is Aurum Gravis, a Singapore-based outfit focused on private real estate and alternative investments. Founded in 2023, about S$70 million in project value so far. The architect is Create Architecture, known for bespoke residential work.
Here’s the breakdown:
- 11 homes: 5 pairs of semi-detached houses + 1 detached villa
- 5 to 6 bedrooms per home
- Built-up areas from 5,100 to 8,100 sq ft
- Total land area: 28,895 sq ft
- Freehold
- Starting from S$7 million
- Completion: end 2027
The total gross development value sits at an estimated S$84 million.
The location
Tung Po Avenue is a tiny landed enclave. Just 24 existing units. Low-rise, quiet, the kind of street where you can actually hear birds in the morning (probably).
It feels nothing like the condo corridor on Lentor Hills Road, but it’s close enough to benefit from everything that’s been built there.
Lentor MRT (TE5) is about 800m away. Thomson-East Coast Line, so you get a straight shot to Orchard, Marina Bay, and Shenton Way. Yio Chu Kang MRT (NS15) is also nearby if you need the North-South Line.
Lentor Modern Mall handles your daily groceries. Upper Thomson’s food stretch is a short drive. Anderson Primary and Presbyterian High School are also in the vicinity.
Why it matters
New freehold landed supply in Singapore is genuinely rare. Most landed homes change hands on the resale market or come from older estates getting torn down and rebuilt. Brand-new freehold homes, in an established landed pocket, within walking distance of an MRT? That combination almost never shows up.
The numbers back up the demand. 6 non-landed projects (about 2,954 units) have launched in the Lentor precinct over the past 3 years, including Lentor Modern and Lentor Central Residences. Roughly 98% sold. Buyers aren’t just window shopping here.
But condos and landed attract very different people. At S$7 million and up, this is for families who want space, privacy, and permanence. The freehold part is the whole point. In a city where most new supply comes on 99-year leases, owning freehold land is as close to “forever” as it gets in Singapore.
The neighbourhood
Villa Natura sits right beside Atelier Villas, a 36-unit freehold strata landed development on Yio Chu Kang Drive that’s been there since 2008. And Tung Po Avenue itself is already an established landed enclave with existing homes lining the street.
So you’re not buying into some isolated plot. You’re adding to a neighbourhood that’s already landed in character.
And here’s the kicker for families: CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls’ School is within 1km. That’s a prestigious primary school with perennial oversubscription, and living within the 1km priority zone gives your kid a real shot at getting in. For parents who’ve been strategically house-hunting around school zones (you know who you are), this is a big deal.
Bottom line
If you’re in the S$7M+ range and want a family home with real land underneath it, Villa Natura is worth a serious look. Freehold tenure, new build, MRT proximity, quiet landed setting. Finding all 4 in one project is hard.
The sales gallery opens in 2026. First movers tend to get the better picks on projects this small (only 11 units, after all). If you want early access or details, reach out.
