For the purchaser, the Vineyard is located perfectly whether you are a retiring/retired couple looking to settle down to life in the tropics, a family looking to relocate for professional reasons to Thailand, a young couple looking for a great environment to raise your family (easy access to one of the best schools in Thailand), single and looking for affordable quality/luxury or a golfing enthusiast…

The beaches of Pattaya and Jomtien are only a short drive as are an abundance of INTERNATIONAL STANDARD GOLF COURSES.

NTERNATIONAL STANDARD GOLF COURSES.

The nearest course is Siam Country Club which hosts the annual LPGA tournament featuring the best women players in the world and the newly built course “The Plantation” which rumour has it is the best course in the entire regio

The abundance of courses in the area makes “The Vineyard” a “Golfer’s Paradise”

Situated within easy reach of The Vineyard are Sukhumvit Road, Route 36 and Bangkok Motorways, therefore offering the owners convenient commuting distance to any of the main industrial and commercial centres of Rayong, Pattaya, Bangkok, Laem Chabang and the Eastern Seaboard.

This also promotes extremely high rental returns as many expatriates working on the Eastern Seaboard choose to send their children to the Regents International School which is a mere 4 minutes away.

The recently opened Suwarnabumi international airport is less than 1 hour away and you`re also only 40 minutes from Utapao Domestic airport for all your internal flights.

This project holds huge potential for investors in this rapidly developing area, which is set to boom. One has to consider that Thailand is Asia`s number one holiday destination and incredibly popular with expats and retirees. This also promotes extremely high rental value.

An added bonus is that in only 15 minutes one can access the famous, bustling nightlife of Pattaya along with world class shopping and restaurants.

This project holds exceptional potential for investors in an eminently desirable location; destined to expand considerably over the next few years. Thailand, ranking as Asia`s premier holiday destination and Pattaya, the most popular national resort, guarantees high rental returns and a high potential property value-appreciation, making investment in The Vineyard Phase II one of the most cost effective investment opportunities available in the region.

Each villa is modern and contemporary in its design and sits on land plots from 800 Sqm to 1600 Sqm (0.5 to 1 Rai of land) and offers its residents beautiful landscaped gardens, which are dominated by our signature infinity edge swimming pool that elegantly wraps around the lounge.

With internal living areas from 114 Sqm to 354 Sqm, we have villas to cater for many different types of residents, from young or retired couples craving privacy and peace away from downtown Pattaya to executive families with business commitments on the Eastern Seaboard whose children are enrolled at the nearby Regents International School, those wishing to commute to Bangkok, Bangkokians for their weekend getaway, Golfers wishing to be in the heart of one of the world`s leading destinations and those just looking for a smart investment.

A breathtaking rooftop garden with BBQ area and tropical sala is the perfect place to spend the evening entertaining friends or simply ending the day by having a romantic dinner under the stars.

From your roof terrace you have stunning views of the surrounding coconut plantations with coconuts just out of hands reach, and tropical sunsets to die for.

Every property benefits from wonderfully spacious and well lit rooms fitted with air conditioners. However, with a design that facilitates thorough circulation of natural air throughout the entire property, the demand for air conditioners is lessened, greatly reducing electrical costs.

Living in the tropics obviously means hot days and hot nights, which is why each villa at ‘The Vineyard’ benefits from having double skin walls and roof/ceiling insulation keeping your home cool day and night.

Using only the finest quality materials and local craftsmen under European supervision, it guarantees your new home is built to the highest possible standards.

All villas will have state of the art security systems including alarmed windows and doors plus external sensor lights as well as 24 hour security guards on site.

Another and very important point is that BravoThai Lifestyles.co.ltd are building these villas to be very low maintenance for the homeowner. This is a major advantage where you have purchased the house as a holiday home and wish to occupy it a month or two each year. In this situation it can be rented out the rest of the year without the concern of ongoing maintenance costs.
