For those looking for private estates for sale Koh Samui, it’s an exciting time, with a plethora of choices to be made. Many new estates and properties have come on the market, and more are expected, as Koh Samui is experiencing growth in all sectors of the housing market.
First and foremost when looking for a private estate on the island, you will need to consider the type of estate, as there are several kinds. At Siam Commercial Services we have each type on our books.
We have beachfront estates which are usually to be found on the more secluded coastlines. These estates perhaps embody the typical dream so many of us have of a tropical lifestyle; of being able to wake up and hear the ocean just a few meters away and having immediate access to it. In most cases, you will only need to go to the end of your garden and then you can jump down onto the sands.
We also have a number of hillside estates which are positioned to enjoy spectacular views, with some being dramatically perched right over the water’s edge on clifftops.
Other estates are now to be found in the interior of the island, a vast region which is gradually opening up for development. Being inland promises a maximum of seclusion and privacy, yet thanks to good quality access roads, the amenities of Koh Samui’s towns are never more than 20 minutes’ drive away.
Some of the hillside and interior estates are vast in size and are ideal for those who wish to own larger tracts of land than usual. It is very often legally possible to build further properties on such land thus creating your own development and renting out the individual properties.
The same goes for gated communities, which are also a popular form of estate to be found in every part of Koh Samui. There are gated communities for sale on the island as well as new ones that are in the planning or construction phase. They tend to be less formal than such communities in other parts of the world, thanks to the relatively low crime rate here. Gated retirement communities are incidentally foreseen to become popular in the future, with Koh Samui becoming an excellent lifestyle choice for retirees.
Koh Samui also offers the chance of having an urban estate which will offer quick access to the nearest town. This is particularly of interest to those who wish to be close to the amenities and nightlife that Chaweng offers. Urban estates on the island can be surprisingly private, even though they are not far away from urban centers.
Large estates may possibly be developed into sports areas of one kind or another and these will be of interest to those who are looking to make financial investments. Parks, entertainment areas, horse riding facilities and ice rinks are all ideas that, in the right hands and with the right legal structures, could easily come to fruition. Such ideas will become ever more popular since more people are deciding to vacation here and live here.
At Siam Commercial Services, we offer a one-stop property service and we will be able to help you if you are interested in private estates for sale Koh Samui. Not only can we help you every step of the way, but we can, if needed, also offer a full range of after-sales possibilities. For example, if you have bought a series of villas, we can market them, let them out on your behalf and look after all your guests. Each of our investors is different and has different needs and we will be able to help you as much or as little as needed. Whether you want to have a full service or one that’s partial, the choice is yours.
Private estates for sale Koh Samui will each have a unique feel to them depending on their location. We recommend Chaweng, Bophut or Lamai areas for those who would like to be close to large communities and their amenities.
For those who seek privacy and isolation we recommend either the west or south coast, or the interior of the island. It’s guaranteed that you will be away from the more densely populated areas.
And for those who would like a mix of both worlds, we would suggest areas such as Maenam or Ban Hua Thanon, or the north coast with smaller communities such as Ban Tai and Bang Por. When it comes to private estates for sale Koh Samui, you will find that the financial entry level is a lot lower than it would be for similar travel destinations in the west or Australasia. Not only that but building work, maintenance and repairs will work out to be much less expensive. And with Koh Samui attracting ever more visitors, investment here is a wise choice.
