3-Bed Sea Villa

Baan Makham sits on the quiet northwestern shoulder of Samui, five minutes from Nathon and a long way in spirit from the busier east coast. This villa takes full advantage of it. The plot runs to 1,000 sqm, fully fenced, backing onto natural jungle with no adjoining neighbours and no road noise. On an island where plots are getting tighter every year, that is worth as much as anything inside the house. The house is arranged over two floors and has been renovated properly rather than patched. Teak flooring runs through the interiors, the furniture is new, and the finish is genuinely move in ready rather than nearly there. The main living floor is a single open volume holding the sitting area, dining and a fully fitted kitchen, with glazing and sliding doors opening onto the terrace and pool. Upstairs the plan opens to a balcony that takes the view west across the treeline to the water. Where this one differs from most houses at the money is the secondary accommodation. Alongside the bedrooms there is a dedicated home office, a soundproofed music studio, a separate laundry and a walk in wardrobe. Three bedrooms are in use as configured, the master finished in granite and marble with a Japanese soaking tub, and the layout was designed so it can be taken to five without structural work. Seven bathrooms serve the house. Outside, a 10 by 5 metre pool and jacuzzi sit in a landscaped garden of palms and banana, with a broad terrace built around an outdoor kitchen and barbecue. The aspect is west, so the sunsets land in front of the house rather than behind it. A private garage and automatic gate close the plot off. Construction quality is noticeably heavier than the island standard for a house of this age, which matters more than it sounds when you are buying something built in a tropical climate a decade or more ago. Sold fully furnished on freehold Chanote title, with 500 sqm of built area.
