Karen has long been valued for space, trees and quiet, and a home here rarely has to compromise on any of those. This gated enclave of just 20 villas sits in a leafy cul-de-sac in the heart of Karen, and each home is planned around privacy, generous grounds and multigenerational living.
Every villa stands on a plot of approximately 1,628 sqm (nearly half an acre) with about 702.7 sqm of built living space. The accommodation includes five en-suite bedrooms, a detached one-bedroom guest house and two domestic staff quarters. Smart-home technology and layered security sit throughout.
Prices are published from USD 1.3M to USD 1.5M, with projected completion in late 2027.

A Development Designed for Private, Multigenerational Living
The layout is made for families that host, work from home and share a property across generations. The main house handles the everyday, the guest house gives visitors or older relatives their own space, and the staff quarters are separate.
The grounds are large enough for real outdoor living, with terraces that connect the interiors to the Karen landscape.
