Overview

Set on a hilltop just inland from Bentota, this spacious villa has been carefully reworked by its current owners, who fell in love with the property during their travels in Sri Lanka. Drawing on their background in graphic design and extensive travels across Asia, the renovation retains elements of the original house while introducing distinctive finishes, custom furniture and an individual approach to the interiors.

Traditional architectural details sit alongside natural materials, decorative pieces and contemporary touches, giving the house a character that feels personal rather than prescribed. Generous living spaces open onto verandahs and balconies, creating a natural connection between the interiors and the surrounding gardens.

The extensive grounds combine mature tropical vegetation with established rubber trees, which the current owners have supplemented with further planting, alongside cinnamon in cultivation. An infinity-edge swimming pool sits alongside the house, overlooking the surrounding landscape, with panoramic views and beautiful sunsets adding to the appeal of the setting.

Despite its peaceful inland location, the property is just an eight-minute drive from the beach, with Bentota and the surrounding coastline within easy reach. With an extensive estate, a characterful renovated home and generous accommodation, it offers scope as a private residence or holiday home close to the coast.

The property is located just inland from Induruwa Beach, in a peaceful village setting surrounded by tropical vegetation and paddy fields. The coast is an easy eight-minute drive away, with Bentota and its wider range of beach resorts, restaurants and activities also within easy reach.
Induruwa offers a quieter coastal atmosphere than nearby Bentota, with a long sandy beach and a more relaxed pace of life. Together, the two areas offer a balance of established coastal amenities and quieter inland surroundings, with the property well placed to enjoy both.
- Induruwa Beach - Approx. 8 minutes' drive
- Southern Expressway via Welipenna Interchange - Approx. 30 minutes' drive
- Galle & Galle Fort - Approx. 1 hour's drive
- Colombo & International Airport - Approx. 2 hours' drive
- Induruwa Beach - Approx. 8 minutes' drive
- Bentota Beach and resort area - Approx. 10 minutes' drive
- Lunuganga by Teardrop - Approx. 10 minutes' drive
- Ahu Bay - Approx. 18 minutes' drive
The property's scale, distinctive interiors and extensive grounds offer scope for a range of rental uses, from private villa stays to group retreats and larger gatherings. Its peaceful inland setting, combined with easy access to Bentota and the surrounding beaches, offers a balance of seclusion and coastal appeal.
The generous accommodation and characterful setting may also appeal to guests seeking a venue for private celebrations, weddings or wellness retreats, subject to the relevant permissions and operational requirements. The property could therefore be explored as both a private residence and a potential hospitality investment.
The property has its own traditional well and three-phase electricity. The main house has been extensively renovated by the current owners, while the surrounding grounds offer further scope for a new owner to explore. A separate staff house, set on a 25-perch plot near the entrance to the estate, is also included in the sale.
The property is accessed via a tarmac road through a village setting, connecting to a B-road that leads towards the main coastal road. A private driveway runs from the entrance through the grounds to the main house. Beyond the staff house, the terrain requires a vehicle with higher ground clearance, so a new owner may wish to improve the driveway for easier access.
Across the 9.75-acre estate, there may be potential to introduce additional accommodation in the form of individual cottages, open-sided pavilions or spaces for yoga and wellness activities. Subject to planning approvals and other relevant permissions, the grounds could lend themselves to a considered hospitality concept that builds on the property's character, scale and proximity to the coast.
