Details

Nestled in the old district near Old Bridge and Durian roundabout is this grand renovated Colonial corner building now available for sale in Kampot City.

It is only 100m from the river on a main street corner and has plenty of commercial exposure.

This house is one of the very first of its kind in Kampot and being built at the beginning of the Twentieth Century, is a great living example of the era.

It was bought and renovated by the current owner in 2011.

Restoration work included – reinforcing foundations, strengthening supporting columns, replacing the original wooden floor with a concrete slap, adding a new roof and other improvements.

About Kampot & Kep

The population of Kampot City some 150km southwest of Phnom Penh has grown and now attracts range of restaurants, hotels and other services.

Its special vibe is its riverside and mountain setting and visitors spend their time enjoying nature.

Main industries are salt / pepper production, fishing, fruit (esp. Durian), light industry and tourism. 

Peak season is November to April when tourist businesses open up along the river promenade near Old Market and in the old quarter.

The fully paved promenade runs from New Bridge, past the Governor’s Residence to the Aquatic Center.

The old bridge has various styles after a number of Khmer Rouge breaches. It is now open to motorbikes and provides a reference point by day and night.

The region is hottest in April and coolest in December.

Highest rainfall is in September and October and the driest time is January to March.

Kep (Kaeb in Khmer) is a coastal town in Kampot Province in the southern area of Cambodia.

It has some very picturesque area and attracts many local and foreign tourists on weekends and special festivals due to its natural beauty and relaxing nature.

Being close to Phnom Penh, it is perfect for a weekend getaway and the National Road 3 upgrade has made the journey a lot quicker and enjoyable than before.

The province is being developed at a fast rate, which is pushing prices up considerably.

A main attraction of Kep is Koh Tonsay (Rabbit Island) which is located southeast of the town.

The beaches here are very attractive and relatively under-developed, although this is changing.

The National Park and Butterfly Farms capture the beauty of nature as do its beaches and pagodas, giving each visitor the chance to enjoy Khmer culture.

From Kep Cambodia website:

“… Kep is a seaside town located on a group of hills going down to the beach.  Cambodian and Vietnamese islands are just offshore. 

It’s a half hour drive from Kampot, Cambodia a half hour to the Vietnamese border; and 2 hours from SihanoukVille and Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

Bungalows, villas, guesthouses, and hotels are located on the hillside and the beaches.  Also, beach side bungalows on Rabbit Island. 

There’s not a whole lot [here] mostly a place for relaxation, enjoying fresh seafood, going for walks, trekking though the hills, boating, fishing and island trips, bicycling and mountain biking, sitting on the beach, and as a stopover on the way to or from Vietnam.

Plenty of garden style resorts around the beaches and mountains. 

Most have swimming pools, air-con rooms, on-site restaurants, and are quite picturesque…”.

Access from Phnom Penh

Road 3 upgrade is complete, so travel time from Phnom Penh can be 2 hours, making this a perfect weekend destination with Kampot just over 40 mins away.

We invite you to consider this offer and grab it before it is too late.

Land values in this area are rising steadily, so this price will not last for long.
