A very special property with bold architecture and cutting edge design features, Baan Ora Chorn is definitely an eye-catching home. From
the minute you arrive at the stone-walled entrance you will want to
explore this property. The intricate layout has a captivating charm
with stair cases and pathways linking the different levels of the
accommodation and creating an interesting design which ensures that
every way you turn, you notice something new. The grand entrance
opens onto a garden area framed by tall stone pillars that add a
contemporary feel to a home that maximizes the use of natural materials
and appears to have been built around the palm trees that previously
occupied the space. To the right of the entrance is a large
garage area with maid quarters and directly in front is the main living
pavilion. This hugely impressive pavilion with a central water feature
is entered via wide stone steps. On the left is the elevated living and
dining area with a high vaulted ceiling and a balcony that looks over
the garden, the large pool and the ocean. Glass doors and windows run
almost entirely around this room creating a very cool, light and
comfortable space. To the right are steps that lead over the
water feature and to a two-storey building. Upstairs is a bedroom that
has a private dressing area; an en-suite bathroom, incorporating an
outdoor terrazzo bathtub; a balcony overlooking the front of the
property; and a large balcony with views over the gardens, the pool and
to the beach. Downstairs is a further en-suite bedroom. Stairs
from the living area go down to the stylishly appointed kitchen with
central island feature, black granite surfaces, matching units and top
quality appliances. Next to the kitchen is a further lounge/TV room and
both have glass doors leading out onto a paved terrace and landscaped
garden. Steps from this terrace go down to the bedroom situated
underneath the lounge. This bedroom has an en-suite shower room and
also benefits from a private covered terrace looking across the garden,
pool and sea. To the front of this room is the beautifully
landscaped garden and infinity pool. On the right side of the property
is a pavilion which houses two further bedrooms. These are separated by
an inner garden area and each has a dressing area, an en-suite bathroom
and a romantic outdoor terrazzo bathtub where you can soak under the
stars in total privacy. Beyond this pavilion is a further garden and
then the white sandy beach. To the left of this pavilion is the
spectacular blue-tiled infinity swimming pool and sala with poolside
bar and kitchen. Everywhere you look you’ll see where the villa
has been specifically designed to incorporate the existing trees and,
despite the modern finish and the mix of contemporary styling with more
traditional features this home sits comfortably within its beachfront
tropical location. Externally the property appears to consist of
magnificent and bold buildings and yet, when you’re inside, the
strategic positioning and sheer number of windows brings the tropical
outdoor features right into the heart of the living spaces. The
beach at Lipa Noi is one of the finest on the island: soft white sand,
good swimming conditions, outstanding views of the famous Five Islands,
the Ang Thong Marine Park and across to the mainland, and it’s
perfectly positioned for Samui’s legendary sunset scenes. Baan
Ora Chorn is an intriguing and interesting property. It’s an excellent
example of architectural initiative that provides practical, private
and incredibly luxurious accommodation on an exceptional beach in the
island’s most sought after location.
Location
- Located at Lipa Noi beach, 30 minutes form the airport and 40 minutes from Chaweng
- In
the Summer low tide season when the reef may dry for up to 100m, this
opens the beach and reef up to all sorts of other activities such as
beach volleyball or simply exploring the rock pools and collecting
shellfish, a safe and ideal exciting activity for children. Channels
for swimming and letting sea kayaks out still remain at low tide.
