Stunning East Coast Villa

Stunning East Coast Villa Resting on a gentle slope near the bottom of Koh Lanta’s Mountain range and shaded by natural jungle vegetation, this stunning villa faces East towards a splendid sunrise. The sun awakens Krabi’s world famous ‘cliff islands’ and direct, unspoilt sea views of authentic Thailand at its very best… The location was carefully chosen for those who wish to enjoy their time with family and friends in the serene peacefulness of Koh Lanta’s ‘less crowded’ east coast. Shambala is offered for sale freehold, has been recently subject to extensive renovation and remodeling, by the current owner, and so the property is in an excellent condition. The villa is built with an amazing attention to detail, from the 40 sqm infinity edged pool with Jacuzzi/children’s splash pool, the handmade custom Indonesian teak wood furniture and the fully functional kitchen built to the highest of western standards with top quality appliances. One of Koh Lanta’s most premium homes; with over 550 sqm of usable space, located on an oversized grassy lawned land plot of approx. 2,200 sqm. Shambala would make an excellent home, as well as a worthy rental investment property. The Villa As you enter the villa you are welcomed by an expansive reception hall featuring an 8m wide opening that frames the boundless sea view ahead. A polished concrete entrance complimented by traditional, locally sourced timber flooring leads towards a delightful open-planned villa. Situated on the south wing from this entry hall is a comfortable family/entertainment room as well as an enticing master suite and 2 additional, spacious air-conditioned bedrooms (ranging from 26sqm to 40sqm) with well laid out en-suite bathrooms attached.  Each room in the villa contains custom, made-to-order, teak wood furniture that has been imported from Java, Indonesia.  This includes 4-poster king sized beds, upholstered sofas, hand-made lamps and much more! A fully functional kitchen built to the highest of western standards with top quality appliances is set in the north corner of the villa. Flowing from the kitchen, the 7m high vaulted roof with a sweeping ceiling fan steps down into the window-lined dining room with terracotta floor tiles, capable of seating 10 guests at the solid teak dining table.  A traditional covered massage/yoga sala plus stunning views of Krabi’s ‘cliff islands’ sits outside the dining area and will surely be the toast of any dinner party. The uniquely created master bedroom suite and bedroom #2 have direct access to the infinity swimming pool (4m x 10m) which features a 4sqm jacuzzi / children’s splash pool and a submerged bench ideally placed at the deep cantilevered end for guests to sit and soak themselves in Shambala’s tranquil surroundings. Above, a further covered roof terrace to enjoy the gentle breezes and shelter from the afternoon sun. Access is via a stylish, spiral staircase. The villa has a private water supply; electric is via the provincial supply, however this is also backed-up by a large diesel generator. This is a standalone property, and so, has no estate fees to pay. All this, and just 5 minutes’ drive to some of the best beaches on the island. The East Coast The East Coast of Koh Lanta could easily be a whole world away rather than the 4-5KM from the Western beaches that it actually is. Predominately utilized for agriculture such as rubber tree plantations, it is an excellent opportunity to see real Thai Island life.
