2-Bed Pool Villa

A development of 45 single storey pool villas at Thong Krut on Samui's quiet south coast, 50 metres from the beach and a few minutes from the seafood restaurants and the longtail boats across to Koh Tan. The villas are Bali style, built around a central open plan living and kitchen space that runs out to a large covered terrace, a private pool and a walled garden, with ceiling fans throughout and a thatched roof that keeps the rooms cool and the air conditioning off for much of the day. Two types are offered, a two bedroom of 120 to 150 sqm on plots of around 220 sqm and a three bedroom of 248 to 265 sqm on plots of 400 sqm, both with their own pool and dedicated parking. Buyers taking a villa before it is built can change the pool size, enlarge the terrace or open a wall for extra windows and doors, which is unusual at this level and worth using. Build time is around nine months from the start, sometimes six. The development runs on government mains electricity and metered mains water. Sixty percent of the villas are now sold and the first of them are built and standing, so a buyer can walk the site and see the finished article rather than a drawing. Held on a 30 year registered lease, sold unfurnished.
