Singapore PM’s brother Lee Hsien Yang selling ‘resort-style’ home for US$12 million amid demand for luxury properties
- The bungalow sits on a land size of 9,888 square feet and has six bedrooms, two living rooms, a walk-in wine cellar and an infinity pool
- Lee’s move to sell the home comes as Singapore experiences a property frenzy that led to S$32.9 billion in sales in the first half of this year alone
The two-story bungalow, a local term for the equivalent of a mansion, is on sale for S$16.8 million (US$12.4 million), according to a listing on the real estate portal PropertyGuru.
Sitting on a land size of 9,888 square feet (920 square metres), the home has six bedrooms, two living rooms, a walk-in wine cellar, a helper’s room, an infinity pool and a koi pond. Four cars can be parked inside the freehold compound. The listing described it as a “resort-style modern bungalow”.
It’s located on Caldecott Hill, an upscale area. Lee Hsien Yang declined to comment when asked why he is selling the home.
Lee Hsien Yang was in the media spotlight following a siblings’ quarrel over their father’s will and famous Oxley Road house. He and his older sister in 2017 had accused their brother, the prime minister, of manoeuvring to undermine their father’s instructions, citing the existence of a ministerial committee exploring options for the property.
