A pool-villa estate in Bang Tao with a lived-in history since 2006 and a fresh second phase from 2025
The Gardens by Vichara is a pool-villa estate in Bang Tao with 29 houses (2–5 bedrooms) plus 8 townhouses, laid out on generous 700–1,100 sqm plots across ~33,350 sqm of grounds. Phase 1 was built back in 2006; Phase 2 is fresh, ready to move into as of May 2025 — a rare combination of a lived-in estate and brand-new stock within the same project.
Bang Tao is one of Phuket’s most developed west-coast areas, known for the Laguna resort cluster, the shops and restaurants of Boat Avenue, and the growing Cherngtalay infrastructure. Bang Tao beach is about 4 km away — not walkable — while the Blue Tree Phuket lifestyle hub is about 3 minutes by car and the Boat Avenue retail cluster about 5 minutes. At a similar budget in the same area, Alisa Pool Villa (from ~$1,038,736) and Nakara Grand Luxury Villas (from ~$1,094,791) are also on sale — both noticeably newer builds, while The Gardens offers a choice between a lived-in 2006 house and a fresh 2025 villa within the same estate.
The entry villa is the VANA model (3+1 bedrooms, 322.68 sqm house) from ~$1,038,875, closely matching the entry price of the nearest competitors in the district. The developer’s range also includes the more spacious GRANARA (294.15 sqm) and ASCARA (339.99 sqm) models — we’ll confirm exact pricing for a specific house when you reach out, since price depends on the plot and finish condition. Every villa has its own 31.16–48 sqm pool and two covered parking spaces. Villacarte cites a projected rental yield of ~5% per year — an agency estimate, not a developer-guaranteed income, so it’s worth treating the project primarily as a personal-use asset with an optional rental angle.
The developer, Vichara Property Co., Ltd., has operated in the Thai market since 1985. The Gardens’ first phase was delivered in 2006 and has since built an active resale market — a plus, since you can judge how the project has aged and compare specific villas as-built rather than off renderings. The flip side is a mixed-age estate, so when choosing a villa it’s important to know exactly which phase it belongs to and the condition of its finishes. For us that means an on-site inspection of the specific house before any deal — pool, roof and mechanical condition, not just paperwork; we’ll send the current list of available villas from both phases the day you reach out.
