This stately home is set far back in a silent valley, masking her presence from the outside world. Perched high on a promontory with mountains and national parklands as a backdrop, the home faces off towards the east and northeast with serene views of the Gulf of Thailand. Beyond a close-in silent bay are distant mountain ridges and views further out to sea.
The main house is a 5-bedroom, 4 and a half bath, 700 square meter family home set on a 7 rai (3 acre) parcel of Chanote Title land. A separate 3-bedroom guest cottage with separate staff quarters sits like a sentinel guarding access to the meandering two hundred meter driveway leading up to the primary residence.
Designed with livability in mind, the home boasts five extravagantly large bedrooms with spacious baths and walk-in closets. A downstairs bedroom suite occupies the back of the house, providing a private refuge for guests. The bright and open kitchen has a very large seating island for six to eight, and a separate formal dining room unveiled by double paneled doors, easily accommodates fourteen. A bookcase-lined study provides an elegant yet relaxed venue for interacting or quiet reading, and a more formal living room is accessed through glass paneled double doors. A wide central staircase takes you up to an enormous second floor living room surrounded by the additional four bedroom suites and two balconies. Oversized windows throughout bring an abundance of natural light as well as the sprawling sea and jungle views.
The front of the home embraces a portico with arched columns and pool decks clad in natural sandstone surrounding a twelve-meter split-level swimming pool. The beauty of the surrounding jungle melds effortlessly with professionally designed gardens to include a fruit orchard, rubber tree grove, expansive grassy lawns, towering rock formations, a flower garden with dozens of species of ornamental trees, and a very productive organic vegetable garden.
Materials selected were done so with beauty and longevity in mind. All windows were fashioned from solid Mahogany by master carpenters in Chiang Mai. The solid hardwood tongue and groove flooring throughout gives the feeling of bringing the living jungle inside and underfoot. The grounds, with their park-like feel, promise to age well in the fullness of time as over a hundred ornamental trees and scores of exotic plants reach toward their maturity.
This truly rare and precious family estate is the first of its kind on an island where a fortunate few will encounter far fewer of life's disturbances and distractions
