Overview

A newly completed, expansive villa in a secluded and private setting, positioned on an elevated cinnamon hilltop a short drive from the beaches near Hikkaduwa. The house combines contemporary touches with a good deal of tropical warmth and softness, creating an inviting home that feels both generous in scale and comfortable in character. Set within 1.6 acres, the property is surrounded by paddy fields and cinnamon cultivation, with lovely views across the surrounding landscape.

The villa is arranged around generous living and entertainment spaces, both indoors and out, with a large central living area opening onto covered dining terraces, a partly shaded T-shaped swimming pool and an extensive, beautifully manicured lawn.

The interiors have a warm and welcoming feel, with extensive use of teak, custom tiling and high, whitewashed timber roof structures. Tall glass windows and skylights bring plenty of natural light into the house, highlighting the generous proportions and giving the living spaces a lovely sense of openness.

A winding driveway leads up from the entrance towards the main house, with parking for up to four vehicles near the entrance and additional space for up to three vehicles closer to the house. A separate, generously sized staff house is also positioned near the entrance.

The property is located just inland, roughly equidistant between the coast and the Southern Expressway interchange, in a peaceful village setting surrounded by paddy fields and cinnamon-covered hills. The coast is an easy 15-minute drive away, with Hikkaduwa and its wider selection of beach resorts, restaurants and activities also within easy reach.
Hikkaduwa has long been one of Sri Lanka's best-known beach destinations, with a character of its own. Known for its long sandy beaches, surf breaks and offshore coral reef, the area offers plenty for those looking to enjoy the coast, from swimming and snorkelling to diving, surfing and beachfront dining. It also provides a more established coastal town setting, with a wider range of amenities and activities than some of the smaller beach destinations further south.
- Southern Expressway via Baddegama Interchange - Approx. 15 minutes' drive
- Colombo & Bandaranaike International Airport – Approx. 2 hours' drive
- Hikkaduwa Beach - Approx. 15 minutes' drive
- Galle & Galle Fort - Approx. 35 minutes' drive
- Ahangama & Kabalana Beach - 1 hours’ drive
The villa's generous scale, distinctive interiors and extensive indoor and outdoor living spaces lend themselves particularly well to private villa rentals, family holidays and group stays. Its elevated rural setting, together with easy access to Hikkaduwa and the surrounding coastline, offers an appealing combination of privacy and proximity to the beach.
The layout, with four en-suite bedrooms, a separate entertainment room, extensive gardens and a swimming pool, provides plenty of scope for hosting and entertaining. The additional staff house is also a useful asset from an operational perspective. With the right positioning and management, the property could be explored as a substantial private holiday villa, with further potential for retreats, private gatherings and other group stays, subject to the relevant permissions and operational requirements.
The guide price is inclusive of the furniture and white goods, subject to the offer made. This includes a number of bespoke pieces made specifically for the house, such as beds, dining tables and chairs, as well as a custom-made, movable island in the living area with integrated seating and a fridge.
Access to the property is via a tarmac road, with easy connections to the main A-road linking the coast with the Southern Expressway via the Baddegama interchange. Despite its secluded position, the property is well connected, with convenient access to both the coast and the wider road network.
The property benefits from both a government water connection and a private tube well, together with three-phase electricity. A 50KVA Ricardo standby silent-type generator with an integrated automatic transfer switch (ATS) is also included, providing backup power.
The existing staff house, positioned near the entrance, is generously sized and finished to a good standard, with scope to be converted into additional guest accommodation if desired.

Further towards the rear, the land slopes down, with its natural contours and setting lending themselves to the addition of a guest or garden cottage in a particularly attractive position, overlooking the surrounding wild paddy fields.
