Welcome to The Botany at Dairy Farm, a new condo for sale in the Dairy Farm estate in the Hillview area, near Upper Bukit Timah Road. It is located at Dairy Farm Walk, Dairy Farm Heights, and Dairy Farm Lane, opposite the German European School of Singapore.
Though it is about an 11-minute walk from Hillview MRT station, The Botany condo has a unique advantage: it is close to the lush greenery and reservoirs of the Central Water Catchment area of Singapore.
Moreover, it is expected to be the lowest priced new condo launch currently.
Across from the low-rise German European School are Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and Dairy Farm Nature Park. These protected nature reserves ensure that higher floor south-facing units will have green views of Bukit Timah Hill and the parks.
To the east and southeast, across Bukit Timah Expressway, lies the Upper Pierce Reservoir and its surrounding forests, which are part of the Central Water Catchment area.
To the west and northwest, across Bukit Timah Road, is Hillview Estate, featuring Bukit Batok Nature Park, Town Park, and Bukit Gombak.
Homes in the Hillview and Dairy Farm estates attract buyers who prefer a quieter, greener environment over convenience and crowds. This area offers a relaxed and laid-back atmosphere.
Additionally, studies have shown that homes near the Central Catchment water bodies and reserves, like this one, are up to 2 degrees cooler and often have fresher and less polluted air. This is a significant benefit given the current climate changes and rising temperatures.
The Botany condo is developed by Sim Lian Land, part of Sim Lian Group, a local real estate company.
The design takes advantage of the best features of the site and its unique character. The architecture and landscaping will blend seamlessly with the surrounding greenery.
At the main entrance, there will be an open and welcoming arrival deck, surrounded by lush greenery. Similar open spaces will be placed between the blocks to allow plenty of light and air into the units.
The garden will have various water features and small landscaped areas, creating a spa-like and resort-like feel. Nature is a key focus throughout The Botany condo, with breezes through the trees providing a sense of peace and tranquility.
The communal facilities are designed to connect residents with the outdoors, featuring indoor-outdoor spaces woven throughout the area.

Floor Plans
The Botany at Dairy Farm Site Plan
This Dairy Farm condo is on a regular-shaped plot of land in the Dairy Farm Estate. It’s bordered by Dairy Farm Walk to the north, Dairy Farm Heights to the west, and Dairy Farm Lane to the south.
The main vehicle entrance will be from Dairy Farm Walk.
Currently, the land to the north and west is empty but is planned for future residential developments and a school. To the south, across Dairy Farm Lane, is the German European School Singapore, which is six storeys high, except for a school field at its east end.
Because of this, higher floor south-facing units at The Botany condo might have views of Bukit Timah Hill, especially since the nature reserves on Bukit Timah Hill are on elevated ground.
Similarly, higher floors might also have partial views to the east of the Central Water Catchment forests and Upper Peirce Reservoir.

Location
The Botany condo is located in a private residential area between Cashew Road and Dairy Farm Road. The neighborhood consists of low to mid-rise condominiums surrounding a landed housing area. It borders the Bukit Timah nature reserve to the south and the Upper Peirce forests and reservoir to the east.
The landed estate features a mix of one to three-storey houses in various styles, with nature-inspired road names like Cashew Crescent, Almond Avenue, and Chestnut Drive.
Shops, Food & Beverage, Services, and Supermarkets
Residents of The Botany at Dairy Farm will have convenient access to Dairy Farm Mall, which is next door. The mall includes a food court, various F&B outlets, shops, and a supermarket.
Alternatively, a 15-minute walk will take residents to the Rail Mall, or a short drive will get them to the HillV2 lifestyle mall. The Rail Mall, a row of conserved single-storey shops with a charming facade, offers a mix of shops, bars, and cafes in a rustic setting.
HillV2, on the other hand, is a more upscale and trendy mall. It’s not very large but meets most shopping and dining needs. It features a pet shop, florist, dental and medical clinics, beauty and hair salons, and a tuition center. Hillview Market Place, the supermarket here, adds to the grocery shopping options.
The eateries at HillV2 offer a variety of cuisines, including Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Italian, and local fare. There’s also a Starbucks, a couple of bistros, and ice-cream parlors. The mall’s design creates a cozy and spacious atmosphere, making it a popular hangout spot for residents.
Nature and Outdoor Activities
What sets The Botany apart from other developments is its proximity to nature reserves and parks. Few places offer such quick access to a large nature park with cycling trails and walking paths, providing a great outdoor space for kids and promoting a healthier lifestyle.
Nearest MRT Station
The closest MRT station is Hillview on the Downtown Line, about a 10-minute walk down Dairy Farm Walk and Dairy Farm Road. While not extremely close, the Downtown Line is very useful. It connects to the Botanic Gardens (Circle Line), Newton, Bugis, Marina Bay, Fort Canning, Bedok, and ends at Changi.
Schools and Academic Institutions
The Downtown Line also provides access to the Bukit Timah education belt, which includes renowned schools like Nanyang Girls’ High, Methodist Girls’, National Junior College, Raffles Girls’, NUS (Bukit Timah Campus), Hwa Chong Institution, Anglo-Chinese School (Barker Road), and Singapore Chinese Girls’ School.
Interestingly, it might be easier to secure a place in these schools compared to the popular ones in HDB areas due to lower housing density and less competition in the Bukit Timah area.
Accessibility
Drivers will find The Botany condo location convenient. It’s just a couple of minutes’ drive from Dairy Farm Road to the exit onto Bukit Timah Expressway. From there, you can head north to the Seletar Expressway (SLE) and Woodlands Causeway, or south to the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE).
