Lakewood Hills Villa: villas in Bang Tao

Lakewood Hills Villa: large hillside villas above Cherng Talay

Lakewood Hills Villa is a gated estate of 19 villas on a hillside in Cherng Talay. It was completed in 2002 by Lakewood Hills Co., Ltd. and covers about 27 rai of land, so the plots are noticeably larger than in newer estates nearby. After more than twenty years the gardens are fully mature, with tall palms and tropical trees around every house.

The project appeals to buyers who want a truly large villa with five, six or seven bedrooms and views over the valley and sunsets, rather than a standard house in a dense development. Compared with the modern villas of Bang Tao, the architecture is different: Asian style with tiled roofs, open sala pavilions, timber ceilings and stone cladding.

Villa types

Every villa differs in layout and plot size. Three types are currently offered on the resale market.

Five-bedroom villa

About 705 m² with six bathrooms, from 64,000,000 THB.

Six-bedroom villa

The most common format: from 340 to 1,200 m² depending on the house, six or seven bathrooms, from 64,000,000 THB.

Seven-bedroom villa

About 800 m² with six bathrooms, from 75,000,000 THB.

Facilities

Each villa has its own set of amenities on the plot:

• a private pool, at some houses an infinity edge facing the valley;
• a jacuzzi and barbecue area;
• wireless internet;
• parking on the plot.

Shared facilities of the estate:

• a lobby;
• an on-site restaurant;
• a clubhouse;
• a tennis court;
• 24-hour security and CCTV.

The area

The Cherng Talay hills lie between Bang Tao and Surin beaches and the Laguna Phuket resort with its golf courses. Boat Avenue, international schools and clinics are nearby, and the drive down to the coast is short. Up on the hill it is cooler and quieter than by the sea, and in the evening the gardens look out over the sunset above the valley. Families who live in Phuket full time and value space and privacy have long chosen this area.

Who it suits

Lakewood Hills Villa is worth considering for families relocating to Phuket long term who want a large house with a garden rather than a resort apartment. Since every villa is different, it pays to compare several houses by view, slope of the plot and condition: over twenty years owners have updated interiors and building systems in different ways.

Buying terms

All current offers are on the resale market. The building is usually held freehold, while the land is held on a long lease (30 years with renewal) or through a Thai company. We verify the title structure of each villa from the documents before the deal.
