Overview

A cutely styled and well-finished villa blending contemporary looks and antique touches. The villa sits in an acre of mature jungle just over 5 minutes drive from Ahangama and the popular surf beaches that line the coast on this stretch.

The villa is set over two levels with the kitchen, main living spaces, and three principal bedrooms, on the ground floor. An additional four guest bedrooms are on the lower ground level. All of the bedrooms have en suite bathrooms. Two of the lower ground floor bedrooms are, with lower ceiling heights, best suited as kids rooms.

Probably most eye-catching is the infinity swimming pool which, at nearly 50 feet, runs the length of the villa on the upper level, with views looking through the canopy of the jungle running down and away from the house.

Just down from the swimming pool is a purpose-built yoga shala and outdoor gym area.

Ahangama has, arguably more than any spot in Sri Lanka, experienced a boom in tourist numbers in the last five years as hoteliers, restauranteurs and other creative hospitality types have recognised the attraction of the surf breaks that line this stretch of Southern coastline.
The small town has become a hub for surfers, digital nomads, expats and Colombo folks wanting a change of pace and scene.
This property sits happily within not much over 5 minutes drive of the town and nearby beaches, but comfortably away from the noise and bustle of the main strip.

It’s roughly equidistant to the other hubs of Matara and Galle - both around 30 minutes drive - the latter being the preference, most likely, in terms of schools and hospitals.
Central Colombo and the International Airport are little over two hours drive away via the Southern Expressway.
The owner, well versed in Sri Lankan hospitality and the marketing that goes with it, conceived the villa as a rental property. It rents currently as a single unit and has maintained a good occupancy through the year.

With 7 bedrooms and plenty of scope to expand further it would very well suit as a venue for boutique retreats, leveraging the attraction of nearby beaches but with the quieter feel of the jungle.
The property has a tube well, three-phase electricity and solar water heaters.

All furniture - much of it custom-designed for the property - is offered within the sale.
