Imagine waking up to birdsong, sipping your morning coffee with views of lush greenery, and stepping out for an evening stroll under a canopy of trees — all without leaving your neighbourhood. Welcome to Terra Hill, a freehold condo nestled along Yew Siang Road, where nature isn’t just nearby — it’s your neighbour.
Just a short walk away lies Kent Ridge Park, a tranquil green haven rich in biodiversity, history, and recreational opportunities. In a city where nature often gives way to steel and concrete, Terra Hill stands out as a rare gem — offering residents a true “urban-nature” lifestyle.
Let’s take a closer look at what makes this proximity so special.
Meet Your Backyard: Kent Ridge Park
Tucked between the Pasir Panjang and Kent Ridge area, Kent Ridge Park is part of the Southern Ridges — a 10km stretch of interlinked parks that also includes HortPark and Mount Faber. But Kent Ridge itself is something unique:
Peaceful and Less Crowded: Unlike East Coast Park or Botanic Gardens, Kent Ridge offers quiet trails and a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for those who crave solitude in nature.
Nature Trails & Boardwalks: Enjoy shaded trails with panoramic views, walk through Adinandra belukar forests, or spot butterflies, squirrels, and tropical birds.
Canopy Walk: A 280-metre elevated walkway that connects Kent Ridge Park to HortPark — ideal for photography or a relaxing weekend stroll.
Historical Significance: Visit Reflections at Bukit Chandu, a war museum located within the park, that tells the story of the Battle of Pasir Panjang during World War II.
For Terra Hill residents, all of this is just minutes away — not a weekend trip, but part of daily life.
