The property is a 4 year old, 500 square meter, 6 bedroom, 6 bathroom villa and pool, on 648 square meters of land.

The main building is 3 stories and the main villa is on the 2nd and 3rd floors, and consists of living room/kitchen, 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. On the ground floor of the main building are two, 1 bedroom apartments, each with their own kitchen and on-suite bathrooms. Each part of the main house has its own private entrance. Also, next to the pool, there is a detached, 1 room studio apartment with its own kitchenette and bathroom.

We currently live in one of the ground floor apartments and rent out the rest of the property for an average income of about 120,000 baht/month, so the house has great income potential.

The house is spacious, open plan and naturally cool all year, utilizing natural ventilation, thick insulation, large roof overhangs and shade trees. As a result, this house is typically several degrees cooler than neighboring houses and air conditioning is rarely necessary (But we do have A/C in every bedroom because the guests like it).

The ground floor has two self contained apartments, each with one bedroom, one bathroom, one living room/kitchen.

The second floor is the main living area, with a huge open living room and western style custom kitchen, and a guest bedroom and bathroom at the back. The front of the living area is mostly glass doors for natural light, a bright, open feeling and easy access to the large covered deck area with spectacular mountain views for relaxing and dining.

The third floor houses the master and 2nd bedrooms, each with its own on-suite bathroom, leading to a large deck with wide open views of surrounding mountains and partial views of Phuket’s Big Buddha statue.

The huge top floor deck has wide open panoramic views and is the perfect place for a romantic dinner or drinks with friends.

Three floors provide for a very spacious living area with excellent views, fresh breezes and no mosquitoes on the upper levels, while preserving plenty of space for the pool and garden.

All bedrooms have air conditioning and all rooms have ceiling fans. The use of natural ventilation, high ceilings and 10″ think insulation virtually eliminates the need to use the air conditioning however.

The construction is to the highest standard available in Thailand and is built by a profession, licensed Thai engineer and the property owner.. The finishing details are impeccable and natural materials and designs, together with modern convinces are used throughout. The design features the natural beauty of real stone and wood yet is low maintenance, protecting exposed wood from sun and rain with big roof overhangs and window and door shades.

The land is 162 square waa (648 sqm) and is chanoth title, which the only real proof of ownership land title in Thailand.

The pool is a 9.5×4.6m natural pool set in a lush tropical natural setting of rocks, trees and tropical plants. A 3 meter high artificial rock and waterfall at the deep end of the pool provides a fun climbing, jumping and diving area and also serves as the pump room and garden storage shed. A fish pond at the shallow end of the pool leads to a small waterfall and stream.

The entire garden is set in different levels with natural stone walls, grass, trees, fruits and vegetables and tropical flowering plants.

There is parking under the house for car and motorcycles.

The land is surrounded by a 2m high perimeter wall which is entirely covered with bamboo and bougainvillea for a natural look and high security.

We are down a quiet soi (side street), about 800m from of the main road, Wiset road, which leads to central Phuket. There are many multimillion dollar villas on our soi and the area is growing in popularity every day, with about 5 major building projects underway within 500m of the house.

We are on the lower slopes of a mountain and there is a beautiful, shaded  hiking and mountain biking trail on the mountain side with spectacular sea views, 3 minutes walk from our house. There are no dogs, no vehicles and very few people on this trail. Almost no one knows about this except a few locals harvesting rubber and bananas.

Rawai is the southernmost part of Phuket and is hugely popular with expats and long term visitors from Europe and around the world. Rawai/Nai Harn is home to some of the best beaches and views in Phuket, and the world, yet is quiet and relaxed; far from the pesky Tuk Tuks, tailor shops and busy traffic.

The house location is however very convenient; only 3 minutes to Lotus Tesco, 5 minutes to Villa Market (import foods) and a big Home Pro, and less than 15 minutes to some of the best restaurants on the island, many fun bars and entertainment spots and plenty of local culture like local markets, Phuket old town, etc. and best of all 10 minutes to Nai Harn and the less well know but spectacular, Yaa Nui beaches. Yaa Nui beach is home to probably the best snorkeling on the island and seems to be almost totally overlooked by the tourist crowds.

There are many low cost beach front restaurants along Rawai beach in the evening and a fishing boat pier and fish market where you can buy fresh seafood and have it cooked to your choice in the neighboring restaurants.

For people with families, there are many Thai and international schools in Rawai, Chalong and Phuket town area.

A little further from the house (about 15 minutes) is Central Festival, Phuket’s premier shopping mall. The world famous, anything goes beach/tourist destination, Patong, is about 25 minutes drive. Kata beach is a little closer at about 15 minutes from the house. We are about 30 minutes drive from Phuket International Airport and about 45 minutes from Sarasin Bridge.

Phuket has one of the best climates in Thailand, with clean fresh air from the Andaman sea on most days, moderate temperatures rarely going above 32 or below 25 and fairly consistent rainfall throughout the year which keeps everything green and fresh and the gardens looking green

The property is for sale, freehold or 30+30+30 year lease for 10.9 million baht.

The land is 162 square waa (648 sqm) and is chanoht title, which the only real proof of ownership land title in Thailand. The land is owned by a Thai person (my wife). The land became chanoht over 30 years ago, has a clearly documented history of Thai owners, and is not high on a mountain, national park or some other dubious location.

We are in a very safe location, about 20m above sea level and 800 meters from the sea so there is no chance of tsunami waters reaching the land. We are at the top of a gentle slope, so there is no chance of flooding or landslide. We are on 2 government, concrete roads, and have 3 phase electricity and a water well that has plenty of water all year round.
