Private 400m2 Villa - Hearth - Mountain View - Huge yard - AC - Late Check-in

Private 400m2 Villa - Hearth - Mountain View - Huge Yard - AC - Late Check-in sits a genuine 15.4 km from the Old City centre, out past the edges of what most visitors think of as Chiang Mai, in the rural Mae Jo area. This is a five-star villa with three reviews averaging a striking 9.8 out of 10 — the kind of score that makes a lifelong local like me pay attention. Free Wi-Fi reaches every room, and the guest-loved highlights list an airport transfer, balcony or terrace, and a mini bar. The villa's own name gives away its two best features before you've even opened the listing: a fireplace, or "hearth," and a mountain view over 400 sqm of ground. I have not stayed here myself, so what follows sticks strictly to what's confirmed — but for anyone wanting distance from the city rather than proximity to it, this is a different kind of Chiang Mai stay altogether.

Getting to Private 400m2 Villa

This villa is 18.4 km from Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX) and 15.4 km from the Old City centre — figures that put it firmly outside the city's usual tourist orbit, in the farmland and low hills around Mae Jo. A car is essential; there's no walking this distance, and no expectation that you would. The trade for that distance is quiet: a genuine mountain view, a huge yard, and a garden with children's play areas, none of which the crowded lanes of the Old City could offer. Late check-in is listed among the property's guest-loved highlights, useful for anyone arriving after a long transfer from the airport or a day spent elsewhere in the north.

Rooms & What to Expect

There is one confirmed room type: a Villa with Garden View, 400 sqm (4,306 sqft), with 1 king bed plus 2 queen beds and a mountain view — sizeable enough that the sqm figure alone puts most Chiang Mai hotel rooms to shame. Supplementary research confirms 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, along with a fully equipped kitchen, so this reads as a self-contained house rather than a hotel room in the ordinary sense. A fireplace — the "hearth" the villa is named for — sits at its centre, an unusual feature in a city where central heating is rarely needed, and one that suggests cooler evenings up here in the hills.

Amenities & Facilities

Free Wi-Fi is confirmed in every room. Guest-loved highlights include a balcony or terrace and a mini bar, alongside the airport transfer already mentioned. Supplementary facts add a fully equipped kitchen, a garden with children's play areas, and an on-site tennis court — a rare amenity for a Chiang Mai stay outside the resort category, and a sign this villa is built for longer family stays rather than a single overnight. Review scores back up the picture: cleanliness, facilities, room comfort, service, and value for money all scored a perfect 10/10, against city averages of 8.6, 8.2, 8.5, 8.7, and 8.1 respectively. Location scored 8.3/10, against a city average of 7.9 — still above average, though the lowest mark in the set, likely reflecting the distance from central Chiang Mai.

What's Nearby in Chiang Mai — Temples, Markets & Local Life

The Old City's landmarks are all a genuine trip away from here: Chiang Mai Zoo is 15.02 km, Tha Phae Gate 15.22 km, Chiang Mai Night Bazaar 15.32 km, Wat Phra Singh (the Gold Temple) 15.48 km, and Wat Chedi Luang (วัดเจดีย์หลวง) 15.49 km. None of these are a casual walk, but all are reachable by car within the same trip if you're planning a day into the city. What's genuinely close is a different kind of local life: the Mae Jo Motocross Track sits just 1.07 km away, Mae Jo Golf Club and Resort 1.25 km, and Mae Jo Golf Course 1.91 km. This is Mae Jo's own rural character — golf, open land, farm roads — rather than the temple-and-market Chiang Mai most guidebooks describe. For a traveller who wants the mountains and a slower pace, with the option of a half-day drive into the Old City when the mood strikes, that trade makes sense; for anyone wanting to walk to a temple before breakfast, it does not.

Dining

No on-site dining venue has been confirmed for this villa, though the fully equipped kitchen means self-catering is a real option here in a way it isn't at most Chiang Mai hotels — worth stocking up before you arrive, given the distance to town.

Other Hotels Nearby

Half a kilometre away, at 0.5 km, is Nongnuch's Homestay Interior Queen Room, a four-star property rated 8.4/10. A little further at 1.2 km is Three Kings Private Luxury Villa, also five-star and matching this villa's own 9.8/10 score — clearly a strong pair of properties sharing this quiet corner of Mae Jo. And at 1.4 km sits Mae Jo Golf Resort & Spa, a four-star property rated 8.4/10, confirming that golf is very much part of the character of this neighbourhood.

Guest Reviews

Three reviews, averaging 9.8 out of 10 — a genuinely strong result, even accounting for the small sample. Cleanliness, facilities, room comfort and quality, service, and value for money all reached a perfect 10/10, each well clear of the citywide averages. Location came in at 8.3/10 against a city average of 7.9/10 — still above average, but the one category where the villa's distance from central Chiang Mai visibly shows up in guest scoring.

Good to Know

This is a five-star villa 15.4 km from Chiang Mai's Old City centre and 18.4 km from the airport, in the rural Mae Jo area. The villa is 400 sqm with 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a fireplace, and an on-site tennis court, set within a huge yard and garden with children's play areas. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout, and late check-in is offered. A car is necessary for reaching central Chiang Mai and its temples.

For a family or group wanting genuine room to spread out — a fireplace for cool evenings, a tennis court, a yard for children to run in — this villa offers something the Old City's boutique hotels simply cannot. It asks for a car and a willingness to trade proximity for peace; on the numbers here, guests who've made that trade have been more than satisfied.
