Pool Villas in Hang Dong, Mae Rim and Saraphi
Looking for a villa for sale in Chiang Mai? You're in the right place. Below are the pool villas, family homes, and luxury estates I currently have across the city — most of them in Hang Dong, Mae Rim, and Saraphi, where the best of Chiang Mai's villa living is concentrated.
I've spent years walking these neighbourhoods, and what you see below isn't every villa on the market — it's the ones I'd be comfortable recommending to a friend. I check the leasehold or company structure behind each one, verify the title before it ever reaches you, and look past the photos at build quality and the school run you'd actually be driving at 8am. My job is to protect your interests, not fill a listings page.
Browse what's available below. When something catches your eye, tell me what you're after and I'll arrange a private viewing — no pressure, just a straight answer on whether it's the right fit.

The Chiang Mai Villa Lifestyle: Your Private Paradise
Choosing a villa in Chiang Mai is an investment in a lifestyle of unparalleled space, privacy, and luxury. It's about waking up to mountain views, enjoying a morning coffee by your private pool, and having a lush garden for your family to play in. A villa is more than just a house; it's a personal sanctuary designed for comfort, entertaining, and embracing Northern Thailand's beautiful indoor-outdoor living. Whether you seek a modern architectural masterpiece or a tranquil Lanna-style retreat, the villa lifestyle in Chiang Mai offers a level of serenity and exclusivity that is simply unmatched.
Where to Find the Best Villas in Chiang Mai
Chiang Mai's villas cluster in a few districts, each with a different character:
Hang Dong — the deepest choice, and the hub for expat families thanks to the international schools. Modern pool villas in gated communities, from boutique 3-bed homes to large estates.
Mae Rim — the luxury end. Sprawling pool villas with mountain views and a resort-like calm, a short drive north of the city.
Saraphi — quieter and more traditional, with spacious homes on generous plots and strong value for the money.
Price guidance: A modern 3–4 bedroom pool villa in a suburban gated community typically starts around 8–10M THB. Luxury villas on larger estates in prime areas like Mae Rim run from roughly 25M THB upward.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I own the land under a villa in Chiang Mai?
You can own the villa structure itself outright. Thai law doesn't allow foreigners to own the land directly, so the plot is usually secured through a registered 30-year leasehold or a Thai-majority company. It's worth knowing that lease renewal isn't automatic — at the end of the term it needs the landowner's fresh consent and re-registration, not a clause signed years earlier. I'll walk you through exactly how your specific villa is structured before you commit.
