The Palm House

This is a large estate, approached by a private driveway, within a 2.5 rai (about 1 acre) enclosed garden.

It consists of two properties: the main villa and a second guest residence. The design is open-plan living and dining, with emphasis on airy, spacious rooms and ceiling height.

The main villa has three en-suite bedrooms, all of a generous size, with two on the uppermost floor and one on the lower.

The middle floor consists of lounge and dining areas, a western kitchen, and a large wrap-around terrace, affording covered seating with views to Chalong Bay.

The lower floor is arranged as an entertainment area, with generous seating of sofas and chairs, a dining table, bar and full-sized snooker table. Sliding doors open on to the poolside decking and sun loungers beside the saltwater pool.

The second villa also overlooks the pool. It is open-plan living and dining, with two en-suite bedrooms, kitchen and relaxing terrace area.

There is a separate covered lounge on the ground floor with an outdoor bar.

There is ample parking and a safe, palm-filled garden for children and pets.

The location is in the hills above Chalong, quiet and convenient for schools, shopping, boating piers and beaches.
