Just right off Jalan Damansara you drive up a little hill, stands this majestic colonial mansion called The Estate on Federal Hill. Built in the early 1900s, this beautiful 30,000 square feet used to be a residence owned by French company called Socfin Group or Société Financière des Caoutchoucs — a development and management of oil palm and rubber plantations pre-WWI.
The architecture of the structure is still very sound and stepping inside feels like taking a step into its vibrant past. The Estate is strategically located just 10 minutes from Bangsar, KLCC and a stone’s throw away from the National Museum. The KL city skyline is a wonderful sight come nightfall.
