Koh Samui has become a favorite choice for investors who are interested in mid-priced real estate. There’s no need to take the financial equivalent of a white-knuckle ride; these are not investments that are going to break the bank. But they will afford you plenty of comfort and a wonderful habitat. If you’re looking for mid-tier Koh Samui villas & homes for sale then you will find that they are above all very affordable and even better, the quality that you will be able to obtain may well surprise you when you make comparisons with western countries. Many individuals, as well as couples and families regard mid-priced housing here in Thailand as a sweet spot in the market.
And Koh Samui offers an amazing lifestyle too. Known for its beauty, the many beaches and bays will take months to explore. Everyone has their favorites but at the same time is aware that they probably haven’t seen everything. This is even more the case with the interior of the island, which is largely undeveloped, though recently it has been opening up more. Even most locals aren’t that familiar with the central parts of the island.
Here at Siam Commercial Services, we have many mid-tier Koh Samui villas & homes for sale, and more come into our portfolio every month. Currently, there are homes in this category that are nearing completion. These brand-new properties offer every convenience while resale properties are often in almost identical immaculate condition. Some may need a little fixing up, but generally properties on Koh Samui have been built within the last three decades – the island has seen such rapid development that most villas weren’t built before the turn of the century.
Villas tend to be set in tranquil areas and come with private swimming pools, ideal for taking advantage of the near year-round sunny weather that the island experiences. Most will have large gardens and will have been professionally taken care of. These villas are restful and relaxing and are ideal for living in or renting out. Increasingly many of the island’s visitors are opting not for traditional resorts but for villas where they can be by themselves.
And there are not just villas for sale but townhouses too, ideal for those who need to much closer to urban centers. These are often contemporary versions of Chinese-style shophouses and may have two or three floors, with the possibility of using the ground floor for business purposes. They offer maximum comfort along with all mod cons and have the advantage of being located within the island’s main towns.
There are also apartments and condos, again mid-priced and offering every convenience, and often featuring shared amenities such as large swimming pools and gyms. Many of these are located just beyond the periphery of towns, although some are to be found within. As with townhouses, they offer every convenience, although tend to be smaller and are ideal for single people or couples.
There are plenty of reasons why it’s a good idea to invest in Koh Samui and live here. The island offers a safe haven in a rapidly changing world and is known for its friendliness and hospitality.
Samui’s location is also an asset in itself; it’s an hour away by air to Bangkok and once there it’s easy to get flights all over Asia and further beyond. It’s very convenient for those who wish to travel. Incidentally, those who are resident on Koh Samui can get a Bangkok Air Resident’s Card which offers generous discounts on flights to and from Bangkok and other destinations.
The island has become ever more developed in the last few years and now has an infrastructure to match that of Phuket. Roads, transport and ease of getting around have all improved, and there are now six hospitals as well as other clinics and health centers. And when it comes to retail, most residents no longer feel the need to have to go to Bangkok – everything they need can be obtained on Koh Samui.
All of this makes Koh Samui a great place for a property investment. And with the tropical setting, it becomes very hard to beat. Life here is very idyllic. And none of the comforts of home are missing either; there are all kinds of shops, restaurants, bars and cafes, along with plenty of nightlife. Samui caters for all its guests’ needs.
