Borey Villa Toul Sangke — Km 6

The lowest recent sale reference found at the time of review is $495,000 for a five-bedroom, five-bathroom villa. The listing gives a house footprint of 10 by 12 metres and a 15 by 23 metre land plot, with usable setbacks at the front, rear and sides. A second current example asks $538,000 for a five-bedroom, six-bathroom home with a 12 by 17 metre house and a 16 by 23 metre plot. Both are negotiable resale asking prices for individual properties, not a developer price list.

A separate rental listing illustrates a much larger configuration: nine bedrooms, nine bathrooms and two living rooms at an advertised rent of $3,500 per month. The variation between these examples is a reminder that buyers are not choosing a single standard floor plan. Plot dimensions, internal layout, renovation history, furnishing, orientation, parking and title documents can differ substantially from one address to the next, even when homes belong to the same community.

The practical address anchor is No. 27, Street 598, around Km 6 and Tuol Sangke 1 in Khan Russey Keo, Phnom Penh. This is an established urban setting rather than the developer’s newer cross-river project. Buyers can therefore inspect the actual access roads, surrounding development and day-to-day street conditions before committing. Listings associate the community with Tuol Sangke and Tuol Sangke Market; journey times to a particular school, workplace or shopping destination should still be tested on the buyer’s normal route and at realistic traffic hours.

Photos from a confirmed villa show a gated exterior, deep timber entrance doors, built-in cabinetry, carved stair and wall details, and generous internal rooms. They document one rental home rather than a project-wide finish schedule. With an older completed property, a technical inspection deserves as much attention as the asking price. Roof condition, moisture, wiring, water pressure, air-conditioning, windows, gates, drainage and the condition of extensive timberwork should all be checked before agreeing the final terms.

The $495,000 advertisement says title-transfer costs are included and describes a structure with a 30% initial contribution followed by bank financing for up to twenty years. Another sale advertisement claims hard-title ownership. These are seller-level statements, not verified project-wide terms. Before paying a deposit, the buyer should obtain the title copy, confirm the registered owner, search for encumbrances, obtain a written transfer-cost breakdown and secure preliminary lender approval when debt financing is part of the plan.

A useful comparison starts with the same checklist for every shortlisted home. Alongside the asking price, record the titled land area, measured building footprint, number of genuinely usable bedrooms, parking capacity, internal-road width, kitchen and bathroom condition, age of the air-conditioning equipment and the furniture that will remain. Then identify immediate post-transfer costs such as roof or façade work, electrical upgrades, repainting, plumbing replacement and garden repairs. This makes it easier to distinguish a lower-priced property with a substantial renovation bill from a more expensive home that is genuinely ready to occupy.

Operating arrangements also matter in a mature borey. Before signing, establish whether residents pay recurring charges for security, cleaning or internal-road maintenance, who collects them and what services are actually delivered. Conversations with neighbours can reveal practical issues such as wet-season drainage, water and power reliability, guest parking, noise and access for service vehicles. These details affect daily life and the ownership budget but rarely appear in sale advertisements. Written answers from the seller or community management, together with evidence that outstanding charges have been cleared, should form part of the transaction file.

A daytime inspection is preferable, with a second look after heavy rain or recent video of the yard and access road during the wet season. For a large villa, buyers should also consider how easily the façade, roof, water tanks and external air-conditioning units can be serviced. Those details do not change the project address, but they can materially affect ownership costs and future resale readiness.

Borey Villa Toul Sangke — Km 6 will make the most sense to buyers who want a large ready home within the urban fabric of Russey Keo and are prepared to compare resales carefully. Its practical advantage is visibility: the house, street and neighbouring properties can be examined before purchase rather than inferred from a render. The trade-off is the lack of a single current catalogue or standard specification. A disciplined shortlist, a side-by-side schedule of dimensions and documents, a building inspection and title-led negotiations are the right way to approach this market.
