This amazing property, built with love fifteen years ago, is NOT a California bungalow! This is a brilliantly crafted and very special modern family home constructed on possibly the most favored block in the Santikhiri Estate due to its elevation, its privacy, its uninterrupted all-day sun, and mesmerizing views. Not to mention the stunning nightfalls as the burning sun dips slowly into the welcoming sea.
Hammock Villa with instructions to their architect to use the best available materials; preserve as many trees and flowering bushes as they could on the property; and make maximum use of large shaded rooms, very open plan designs, and natural breezes in order to keep the home as cool and as naturally fresh as possible. The effect is stunning – all year round the only sounds residents may hear are the birds singing, a gentle breeze blowing, and the soothing splashing of a tidal sea.
Please note there is no air conditioning in the living areas.
The area has one long sweeping, uninterrupted beach for several kilometers ending with the Laem Sor Pagoda and Temple on the southwestern end.
