Overview
Rockwater Residences is a 10-unit hillside villa and townhouse development on Soi Thong Kaew in Bo Phut, on the hill known locally as Green Hills Samui, completed in November 2018. FazWaz's own structured developer field names the project itself, "GHS Rockwater Residences," as its own developer, with no separate parent company independently disclosed elsewhere. The unit mix spans 2-bedroom townhouses (185 sqm) up to 5-bedroom villas (861 sqm), set around indoor and outdoor pools, a water park, spa, garden and BBQ areas, with an airport shuttle service. As a house/villa project rather than a registered condominium, the building itself can be owned outright by a foreign buyer via the house registry, but the underlying land cannot be foreign-freehold -- land here is controlled through a Thai company or a registered lease (typically up to 90 years across renewal terms), so have the specific structure reviewed by an independent Thai property lawyer before committing. Coordinates were independently pinned in Google Maps against the development's own "Rockwater Residences" Business Profile listing on Soi Thong Kaew, Bo Phut, rather than taken from a listing aggregator's street-view link. Only one rental listing (~$1,480/month) was found on the project's FazWaz page against a rental price range of roughly $1.5K-$4.65K cited elsewhere for the same project, so the rent range shown here is a directional estimate spanning those figures, not a confirmed range across the full unit mix.
BAANLYY is a data-and-tools platform, not the development's broker or manager — listings are not guaranteed unless from a verified partner. Always confirm tenure, foreign-ownership quota and current pricing on the specific unit before committing.
