Land-and-house and villas in Chalong across three phases — by Art House Group
9Nile Residence is a three-phase residential master plan in Chalong by Art House Group, a developer with a portfolio of around 9 projects and nearly 1,000 units in Phuket. The format is unusual for the island: phases 1 and 3 run on a land-and-house model, where the buyer picks a plot and designs the home to their own spec, while phase 2 offers ready-designed two-floor, 4-bedroom villas with a customisation option.
The project sits deep in Chalong, an inland district in the island’s southeast near Chalong Pier: Karon Beach is about 10.8 km away and Nai Harn about 12.3 km, both requiring a car. Our catalog also includes Botanica Chalong Bay in the same area, priced noticeably higher. 9Nile Residence occupies a different niche: a more accessible entry into Chalong, thanks to the flexible but longer-timeline land-and-house format, rather than a finished home from a specialised villa brand.
Entry from ~$436,390 for a 200–562 sqm custom-build plot is one of the most accessible entry points into Chalong among the area’s villa formats. The price of flexibility is time: the land-and-house model requires a separate home-design cycle, extending the path from reservation to move-in compared to a finished villa. Phase 2 offers already-designed 4-bedroom villas over two floors — a faster route, but pricing for this format is not publicly disclosed. The managed rental option carries a projected yield of around 6% a year — a developer guideline, not a guaranteed return.
Art House Group is a developer with a real portfolio: around 9 projects and roughly 995 units in Phuket, including delivered properties like The Proud Residence, alongside off-plan projects across the island (Above Element, Hennessy Residence). This is not a market debutant, but nor is it the island’s largest player. 9Nile Residence is stretched across three phases with a completion horizon out to September 2029 for the last one — nearly three years of off-plan risk for buyers of later phases. Ownership type for the project is not publicly disclosed, nor are CAM fee and sinking fund terms — worth clarifying before reserving a specific lot.
Who it suits: a buyer who wants to design a home on a plot of up to 562 sqm in a developed inland part of Chalong, and is willing to accept a longer construction cycle in exchange for flexibility. Buyers who need a finished home without waiting for design work, or a beach within reasonable reach, should look at Phase 2 of the project or other villa brands in the area.
Our role as an agency — to confirm ownership type and CAM fee terms with the developer for a specific plot or villa, track the real construction pace across phases, support the home-design process (for the land-and-house format) and the deal through to title registration. The developer pays our commission — the price stays the same for the buyer.

Yes, the developer projects around 6% a year. That is an estimate, not a guaranteed payout.
About 10.8 km to Karon and about 12.3 km to Nai Harn by car. This is an inland Chalong project, not a beachfront one.
Our catalog also has Botanica Chalong Bay ([villacarte/catalog/botanica-chalong-bay](/villacarte/catalog/botanica-chalong-bay)) in the same area, priced noticeably higher. 9Nile Residence is a more accessible entry point into Chalong, but with the flexible, longer-timeline land-and-house format instead of a finished home from an established villa brand.
