A beautifully appointed home sitting atop just over 2 rai (approx 3500sq/m) of landscaped hillside gardens and bordered by lush tropical rainforest. Unobstructed panoramic views are one of the many highlights afforded by this spectacular property and its hilltop position guarantees absolute privacy and seclusion.
The property is located on the picturesque island of Koh Samui in the gulf of Thailand. Undoubtedly the most impressive home yet constructed on the island, the property is built to the highest European standards and no detail or expense has been spared to create this unique and luxurious residence.
A luxury residence on land of this calibre is rarely available on Koh Samui. Tucked into the side of rainforest-topped mountains this professionally landscaped property commands breathtaking panoramic ocean, island and mountain views.
The structure itself has been built to the most vigorous of European craftsmanship and an inspiring combination of local and international materials have been fused. Cedar Shingles, which were imported direct from Canada, were used to construct a magnificent roof; imported Italian marble and local polished hardwood teak were utilized to create the stunning 1000sq.m floor area and all the fixtures and fittings installed are of the highest standards and specifications.
The six potential bedrooms and bathrooms; professionally equipped kitchen; outdoor entertainment area; pool; Jacuzzi, sauna, gym and staff quarters are all protected by an advanced alarm and smoke detection system.
Entry to the impressive living area is via a stately Italian stone stairway, stirringly lit by ‘Futronic’ lighting. This clever system is the latest in mood lighting and it creates an inspirational atmosphere that continues up to a large traditional Balinese entrance way. To the left are the separate staff quarters and laundry and to the right two carved wooden doors open onto an extensive terraced living and pool area.
A 30sqm polished hard wood terrace runs the length of the Italian tiled living area and a large infinity edged swimming pool. The dining area, with its alfresco appeal and ‘out of this world’ views, is emblazoned every evening by the setting sun as it goes down over the warm waters of Anthong Marine Park.
This 40sqm kitchen is intelligently designed and equipped to the highest of European standards. The state of the art large twin-door American style refrigerator, fitted microwave, oven, triple hob and dishwasher would compliment the most professional of kitchens.
Whilst there is ample storage and work space, a contemporary central Island worktop provides an additional area for food preparation or dining. All preparation is made easy by the addition of a fresh water filter system.
At the end of the 40sqm hallway is an amazing curved staircase which features a huge natural rock, remaining from the initial site excavation. This staircase must be one of the major showpieces of this impressive property. The stone steps are magnificently lit, using a clever combination of natural and atmospheric light, and lead up to ornate Balinese doors and the second level of the extensive bedroom wing.
Overlooking the unique infinity edge swimming pool this 70sqm open room is perfect for entertaining guests and the large sumptuous ‘ L ‘ shaped sofas are ideal for relaxing after a hard day.
This superb entertainment area is completely self contained with a second small kitchen, a bar with a full sized wine and drinks refrigerator, a further bathroom and a huge wall mounted plasma TV, which again is connected to the house wide audio and satellite system. This area has been designed to be fully self contained, so there is no need to traverse through the house whilst entertaining.
At over 35 square meters, the Gymnasium is fully outfitted with professional grade training equipment and free-weights. Situated at the bottom of the property, it provides panoramic views of Chaweng and the sea beyond. Fully glass walled, with air-conditioning throughout and directly linked to the house entertainment system.
With a deep end that is perfect for diving, an easy to maintain Jacuzzi, a child friendly section and an outdoor waterfall shower this swimming pool is an exceptional position to relax and have fun. The pool area is also connected to the home sound system through the clever use of outdoor "rock" speakers.
The staff quarters are ideal for a live-in maid/housekeeper, or as additional guest accommodation due their location and privacy. Situated above the carport, this 45 square meter apartment offers a bedroom, living area and en-suite bathroom. Adjoining this apartment is the laundry room, fully equipped with sink, washing machine and tumble dryer.
