ID: 432 | French style villa with large garden for rent in Phu Nhuan compound

French-style villa with soaring ceilings & 900m² garden | Thao Dien compound, District 2

There are very few villas in Thao Dien where the architecture itself is the story. This one is. Built in a classic French colonial style and set within a well-established compound at the heart of Thao Dien, this 4-bedroom, 400m² home has two things that simply cannot be replicated in a modern build: genuine character and an extraordinary garden.

At 900m² of total lot area, the grounds are among the largest attached to any villa rental in the neighbourhood. The garden wraps around the property with mature planting and generous open space — room enough for children to run, for weekend entertaining, and for the kind of outdoor living that most expats in HCMC can only dream about.

Inside, the home is defined by its proportions. A very large living room with genuinely high ceilings creates a sense of grandeur and airiness that modern villas rarely achieve — light pours in, conversations carry, and the space simply feels generous in a way that square footage alone doesn’t capture. The layout works well for families: three large bedrooms are positioned upstairs for privacy, with a fourth bedroom on the ground floor that adapts naturally to a guest room, home office, or live-in help accommodation.

The compound setting offers the security and community feel of a managed environment while sitting right at the centre of Thao Dien — international restaurants, cafés, schools, and the neighbourhood’s everyday conveniences are all within easy reach on foot or a short drive.
