Overview

It is not often that we come across beachfront opportunities right on a gorgeous surf beach - and in this case - along a stretch of coastline that remain lesser frequented whilst being every bit as beautiful as their better-known Southern counterparts.

Superbly positioned, the property offers an excellent canvas for a high-end private beach villa or stylish hospitality concept, with ample space to further develop the site whilst retaining generous garden and beachfront areas.

The existing house sits on a beautiful plot with a manicured lawn extending all the way down to a wide and picturesque beach. The site itself naturally lends itself to a thoughtful new layout - potentially incorporating additional accommodation or staff quarters towards the rear, alongside a swimming pool and outdoor dining pavilion positioned towards the oceanfront.

This particular stretch of surf-ready coastline, while known mostly amongst the surf community, retains a slower pace and more laid-back atmosphere than many of the South’s more developed beach towns.

Whether conceived as a private lifestyle residence, luxury holiday rental, boutique hospitality venture, or relaxed beachfront café and restaurant concept, the property offers considerable flexibility within a beautiful and still relatively undiscovered stretch of Southern coastline.

This property sits along a very laid-back stretch of coastline, yet remains well connected and comfortably close to the nearest major hub of Matara, just a short 10-minute drive away, with access to hospitals, schools, and supermarkets.
The beach here is wide and open, offering sweeping coastal views west towards Matara and east across the bay towards the harbour at Dondra Head, the southernmost point of Sri Lanka.
Access to the Southern Expressway is via the Godagama Interchange, approximately a 20-minute drive away, placing Colombo and the international airport within roughly two and a half hours by car.
- Matara Town and Fort - 9 minutes drive
- Hiriketiya - 35 minutes drive
- Ahangama - 55 minute drive
- Yala National Park - 2 hours drive
Access to the property is via a well-laid tarmac road which connects easily to the main coastal road running between Matara and Tangalle.
The property benefits from a single-phase electricity connection and government water supply.
The existing house is currently liveable and could be further developed, though new owners may equally choose to rebuild from scratch. With ample space across the site, there is clear scope to expand the build and incorporate separate staff accommodation and parking towards the rear of the property, alongside the potential addition of a swimming pool on the front lawn facing the ocean.
