Hi Mr Farmer, legal field does not pay well. that's one of the misconceptions.

Responsibilities are super high, workloads are heavy and yet the pecuniary remuneration and personal satisfaction is not there.

I'm keen on agro based business as I see that it is the future. Food prices are already sky rocketing and will definitely continue to rise.

I'm thinking of going to Sabah to start off, but much planning is needed and definitely a bumpy road ahead.

Hi guys, if not mistaken some of the active members here are from sabah right?

Would be much obliged if those in sabah could give me a rough idea of the price of land in sabah in particular those in Kg Kelawat. I'm assuming it is Kg Kelawat as he tells me it is stated as mukim kelawat in the title.

My friend got a piece of land in Kg Kelawat (district of tuaran, mukim kelawat), for sale. Would like to know in general how much is the price of land in that area? He is asking for RM20,000.00 per acre which according to him is a very good price.

A search on mudah shows that most land near tamparuli is asking for RM30,000.00 per acre.

It is accessible by car and is near to tamparuli town (15 mins). It is a CL title for 99 years starting from 1963, non bumi. He says it is a bit hilly and is suitable for rubber plantation and totaling 21.45 acres.

Any of you have any idea as to the price? Would hiring a valuer to value the land before i buy be a good idea? And roughly how much will it cost?

Any input is much appreciated and is preceded with a million thanks.

Hi MrFarmer,

that's exactly the problem. i am from west malaysia. thinking of getting a valuer to value the land. from google map, cant really figure out where is the place as well.

would you say that it is very ulu?

hi bro,

no particular reason. just thought that maybe at 20k per acre (can nego somo), it will be a good deal. difficult to get cheap land nowadays in west malaysia and small parcels of land in sabah.

just do not want to miss out on an oppurtunity.

Hi Para, leaning towards rubber. LGM has agreed to do all the planting for a certain fee.

Location - exactly my concerns. can't seem to pin point for sure where it is on google map. if it is kg kelawat, it should be ok. need to get more information on this.

just had tea with my friend last night. he says he is willing to let it go at 15k per acre for me. does it sound too good to be true?

I know of lands in sabah going for only 5k per acre but need size wise at least 500 - 1000 acres.

Thanks for the input Michael J.

Financing the purchase should not be a problem.

I think it would be safe to say that the main thing i should do now is to fly over and have a look at the land before buying or to get a valuer to value the land.

actually, the main purpose of me wanting to buy the land is for investment rather than for agri. if it can give me returns, i will plant. otherwise, i just prefer owning land than having cash.

yes, it is 21.45 acres. and Mr Farmer, thank you for all the links!

Para, thanks. Will see what i can do.
