Tropical Property
At Home in the Forest

 

The "shhh" of rustling leaves is accented by the tweets and trills of birdsong. Sleepy eyes are pried open by the vivid green of the lush foliage which envelopes the house. This is a tranquil morning in a Forest Home, where the tropical jungles of Thailand begin at your very doorstep.


The brainchild of Khun Sumatha Kachornboon, formerly a forestry official and an avid conservationist, Forest Home will appeal to people who are attracted to green spaces. The 50 rai site was chosen some ten years ago and the gardens have been allowed to mature over this decade, attracting the animals, birds and spectacular butterflies that form the fragile ecosystem that the land now nurtures. Khun Sumatha summarises the project's theme as "forest and home being in harmony with one another. "

The project is being developed by the Grand Garden and Land company and will comprise 60 fully detached houses on land plots ranging from 400 - 1200sq. m, as well as a communal club house, park, swimming pool and tennis courts. Buyers may choose one of five contemporary architectural styles although each unit will enjoy unique design specifications setting it apart from the others. The houses will have two to three bedrooms, each with ensuite bathroom and separate maid's quarters. The built-in area of each unit will vary from 150 - 280sq. m. Interiors are designed with functionality in mind and each room of the house will boast a serene view of the surrounding forest.

Despite the development's potential as a quiet hide-away in Bangkok, it is located conveniently adjacent to a major roadway which serves as a gateway between both worlds. Thus the service and leisure amenities populating the area are easily reached; five golf courses, the Science Museum and Dream World amusement park. Nearby Tesco, Makro and the colossal Future Park shopping centre add to the convenience of this location.
