Eco-Villas in Phuket in the Riverhouse Development

Are you choosing a property in a Thai resort? Are you looking for a Phuket villa near the beach? Do you appreciate the eco-consciousness of the developer and the idea of energy efficiency? Check out the pool villas at Riverhouse!

What is Riverhouse?

Riverhouse Phuket is a unique cluster of pool villas with 2-4 bedrooms in tropical Thailand, powered entirely by solar energy. Thanks to an advanced energy system (solar panels + energy storage system), Riverhouse villas can operate 100% off-grid.

In addition to electricity, the designers paid attention to improving the environmental friendliness of other infrastructure systems, including hot and cold water supply, air conditioning, and humidity control.

Owning one of the local villas is not only a great way to live without electricity bills but also a splendid opportunity for astute investors to grow their capital or for discerning homeowners to get their personal “corner of paradise” in Thailand.

Location of Riverhouse Development

The cluster of villas lies in the heart of the popular Cherngtalay area. It is only 2 km from the beautiful Bangtao Beach, adjacent to numerous hotels and restaurants. Within walking distance (less than 1 kilometer) are the newly built Porto de Phuket Shopping Center and Boat Avenue, famous for its restaurants and stylish clothing stores.

Another noteworthy attraction in the neighborhood is Blue Tree – the recently opened water park and entertainment center. It is only a few kilometers away. Riverhouse is also just 20 minutes from Phuket International Airport.

Bang Tao Beach is eight minutes away, and Laguna Golf Course is seven minutes away. Numerous recreation areas, beaches, shops, restaurants, the best wellness and medical centers, and three international schools nearby guarantee the residents a fulfilling and comfortable lifestyle.

The strategically favorable location makes the villas in the Riverhouse complex suitable both for residence and for making profitable investments. Renting out the villas is simplified, and their resale is lucrative due to high liquidity.

Riverhouse: eco-friendly features

The combination of the features and functions outlined below provides the ultimate eco-friendly lifestyle without sacrificing comfort.

• Solar panels. With about 2,600 hours of sunshine every year, Thailand is one of the most suitable countries for using sunlight as an alternative energy source. High insolation guarantees sufficient efficiency of solar panels. Each villa in the Riverhouse complex features solar panels based on the latest technologies. These panels produce enough electricity to meet the needs of residents 24/7/365. In the current energy crisis, 100% solar-powered properties have enormous appeal and liquidity, both from a resale and rental perspective.
• Hybrid battery system. The hybrid battery system stores excess electricity generated by solar panels during the day for residents to use throughout the night. Thus, the villas become even less dependent on the local electricity grid. Each energy-efficient villa in the Riverhouse complex uses equipment from the renowned vendor Solax with support for advanced inverter technologies. Each villa has two Solax hybrid battery systems (5 kW each) installed for excess electricity storage. The systems are modular, which makes adding extra batteries relatively easy. Anyone who surfs the internet will appreciate battery backup power, complete with fast fiber-optic internet access.
• Unified energy system. By connecting the villas into a unique and revolutionary smart grid, the designers included the possibility of redistributing electricity between buildings within the Riverhouse complex. That guarantees zero electricity waste.
• Dehumidifiers. A low-energy central dehumidification system maintains humidity at comfortable levels in all bedrooms and toilets. Equipment comes from the well-known vendor Munters. Thanks to a centralized dehumidification system, residents’ electronics, clothing, and leather goods will remain safe and free from mold – even if residents leave the villa for an extended period.
• Pump heater for hot water supply. Each villa features a central water heating pump from Stiebel Eltron with a circulation system that provides instant hot water with minimal energy costs compared to a standard electric heater.
• Air conditioners. Thanks to the Daikin Air Conditioning equipment, it was possible to achieve maximum silence and energy efficiency of the air conditioning system.
• Double glass panels. Why release heat at night and cold during the day? Each villa uses double glazing with UV protection for thermal insulation. Therefore, the buildings stay cool during the day and protect residents from harmful solar radiation.
• Landscape design. Plants also provide thermal insulation. The green roofs and walls of the villas, as well as the green areas in the common areas, complemented by small streams and charming steel bridges, are professionally landscaped for both aesthetics and heat absorption.
• Water collectors. There are systems for collecting rainwater and reusing waste liquid. Fresh water is pumped, filtered, and then stored in a network of reservoirs. That ensures that in the future, the looming climate change-related water shortages will not become an issue for Riverhouse residents.
• Layout. The carefully designed layout maximizes natural light and ventilation, ensuring comfortable and relaxing living.
