Mountain-view villas in the hills of Si Sunthon — maximum privacy away from the tourist crowds
Manick Hillside is a villa community in the hills of Si Sunthon (classified by villacarte as Bang Tao), built in two phases. The first phase of 15 villas is fully sold out and delivered; Phase 2, now under construction, adds 7 three-bedroom villas with panoramic mountain views. The developer is Villa Manic Co., Ltd. Entry into Phase 2 starts from ~$1,330,194.
Si Sunthon is a hilly, sparsely populated part of Thalang away from Bang Tao’s tourist flows: the bet here is on privacy and views rather than walking distance to the beach or retail clusters. Bang Tao beach is about 9 km away (~18 minutes by car), and the British International School is about 10 km away. Our catalog also lists Fifth Element in the same Bang Tao area — completed villas of a very different format, a 5-minute walk from Boat Avenue, but without mountain views or the same level of plot privacy.
Entry price starts from ~$1,330,194 for a Phase 2 villa (3 bedrooms, ~550 sqm, 14-meter pool with mountain views). At the top of the community, ultra-luxury villas up to ~1,350 sqm cost around $2.66 million — meaning the price range within this single community nearly doubles depending on size and view. The entry price sits well above most Bang Tao villas in our catalog, including the completed Fifth Element (from ~$1,149,747) — the premium here buys hillside privacy and panoramic views rather than beach proximity.
Rental income is forecast by the developer at ~6% per year with a payback of about 12 years. Since Phase 2 is what’s currently for sale, there’s no established public occupancy track record for it yet — the forecast should be read as a marketing estimate.
Villa Manic Co., Ltd. has already proven it can deliver: Phase 1 of 15 villas is fully sold out and delivered. That sets the developer apart from debut projects with no track record — on this very project, the company has already completed a full cycle from launch to handover. Phase 2, the 7 villas currently for sale, is at the off-plan stage, carrying the standard construction timeline risk of any new phase. We found no public portfolio of other projects from this developer — Manick Hillside is its only confirmed property so far.
On the limitations side — the distance from the beach (~9 km) and the lack of disclosed CAM fee or sinking fund figures, which need to be confirmed per specific villa. The community’s ultra-luxury top lots ($2.5M+) form a separate price category that should be considered apart from the base Phase 2 entry price.
Who it suits: a buyer for whom panoramic mountain views, privacy, and spacious layouts matter more than walking distance to the beach or Cherng Talay’s retail infrastructure. Our role as an agency is to check the current pace of Phase 2 construction, the availability of a specific villa among the 7 lots, and reservation terms.

Villa Manic Co., Ltd. — a developer that fully sold out and delivered Phase 1 of 15 villas, and is now building Phase 2 of 7 villas.
Phase 1 is already delivered. Phase 2, currently for sale, is at the off-plan stage with a 10–24 month construction timeline from payment.
Both options are available — freehold and leasehold.
About 9 km to Bang Tao beach (~18 minutes by car) — the hillside location puts it farther from the sea than most projects in the area.
The developer forecasts ~6% per year with a payback of about 12 years. This is a marketing estimate — there’s no established public track record for Phase 2 yet.
