House · For sale · 2,200,000 THB · 4 bedrooms

Beautifully nestled at the bottom of the mountain in the upscale Belmont Estate, this stunning new home is literally just a two-minute stroll from one of the Caribbean's most exquisite beaches at Smuggler's Cove. This stunning beach and its crystal clear, turquoise waters are protected by a reef, which makes for calm waters and excellent snorkeling. It's exactly what most would picture when daydreaming about an idyllic Caribbean beach. There is nothing between this delightful home and the sea except palm trees and powdery white sand. And all in complete and total privacy as Villa Maya is cleverly sited on a large lot amongst landscaped tropical gardens.

Designed by Tim Peck, Chairman of the Caribbean's stand out Architecture firm, OBM International, the owners, and their team simply got everything right in this outstanding vacation villa. Completed in November 2013, this breathtaking home successfully blends of contemporary European styling and West Indian charm to create exactly the right balance of indoor/outdoor living. A touch of the tropics combined with some European flair work well to set this Villa apart. The exquisite and unique collection of artwork including paintings and sculptures throughout Villa Maya has all been hand-picked by the owners and provides Villa Maya with additional flair and style.

Enter Villa Maya along its winding driveway and you are lead to its inviting main entranceway. Walk through the front door and you are immediately greeted by a simply breathtaking vista, encompassing the whole bay, sailboats drifting by and the islands and ocean beyond. The villa is designed to wrap around the spacious pool deck with the comfortable and spacious lounge, contemporary, totally equipped kitchen, enclosed and poolside dining areas and spacious Master Bedroom and bathroom suite all offering fantastic views and all leading back to the pool terrace. A short flight of stairs leads to two equally generous guest bedrooms, both with their own ensuite bathrooms and private terraces, one with its own outdoor shower, once again well designed to offer dramatic views of the bay but complete privacy.

Below the main level is a fourth bedroom, furnished with oversized bunk beds and ideal for kids but large enough to sleep adults if need be.
