This is a charming, terracotta-roofed, 3-bedroom, 3-story villa set on a hillside in the Katamanda estate, overlooking Kata bay.
The land area of this villa is 647 sqm. The total built-up area is approx. 370 sqm., of which approx. 257 sqm. is indoors.
Entrance to the villa is via the carport at the top level (level 3), through impressive double Maka-wood doors. The foyer leads into the Master Bedroom (en suite with bathtub) which has a magnificent view over Kata bay and surrounding vegetation. This large, 33-sq-m bedroom has a highly polished Maka-wood floor, Maka-wood doors, and door & window frames. The windows themselves are aluminum and glass, which makes for a pleasing and sensible combination.
The foyer also leads down to level two via an open wooden staircase. This level comprises a large, 52-sq-m lounge-diner, a well-fitted European kitchen, guest toilet, and study room. High-quality, sliding glass doors lead from the lounge, study, and corridor onto the outdoor terrace, private pool, and sala, from where there is a magnificent view of the many indigenous rainforest trees of the estate and hills to the north. In spite of the open view, the area remains very private due to the number of trees in the area.
Level 1, the lower level, comprises the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms, both en suite, and one with a walk-in robe and bathtub. Each bedroom has an outdoor terrace, completely screened by vegetation. In addition to laundry and sizeable storeroom, this level also houses the pool pump room and M & E room.
The villa has been built to a very high standard throughout and was completed in 2005. Furniture, most of which is included in the asking price, is to a similarly high standard and has a predominantly Chinese theme.
Ownership is via protected leasehold, with villa owners owning shares in the land-owning company.
*The villa has a large size plunge pool, however, if the new owner would prefer a lap pool, the approval from the Katamanda Estate OCM’s to build a new lap pool has been secured.
The Katamanda estate is professionally managed and has resort facilities which include a clubhouse with a meeting room, restaurant, large communal pool, all-weather floodlit tennis court, and fitness room in addition to admin offices and engineering facilities.
CAM fees for the villa are approx 18,284 Baht per month (at 28.26 Baht/Sqm) in 2021. Running costs are approx. 15,000 Baht per month and there is an annual ground rent of 40,000 Baht per year.
“Real estate cannot be lost or stolen, nor can it be carried away. Purchased with common sense, paid for in full and managed with reasonable care, it is about the safest investment in the world.”
