Overview

This uniquely positioned land fronts a small lake and is framed by surrounding jungle and rural paddy landscapes, offering a rare sense of space and privacy.

The property is well connected, lying almost equidistant between the nearest Southern Expressway interchange and some of the most unspoilt beaches near Tangalle.

The extensive plot is largely covered with mixed jungle and mature coconut trees, providing natural shade and a strong sense of seclusion, while also presenting a compelling canvas for a well-conceived hospitality concept such as a boutique villa or small hotel.

The wider setting is characterised by picturesque paddy fields and coconut estates, reinforcing the area’s tranquil, rural appeal.

The property is well connected, set just off the main road linking the Southern Expressway with Tangalle town, while also providing easy access south towards Silent Beach and the wider Tangalle coastline.

Despite this connectivity, the immediate area feels pleasantly removed from busier routes, retaining a rural character shaped by its naturally beautiful surroundings, with quiet lanes running through paddy fields and coconut estates.

The nearest Southern Expressway interchange is approximately a 10-minute drive, placing Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport within around one hour, and Colombo and Bandaranaike International Airport within just over two and a half hours.
Given the scale of the land, prospective owners may wish to remove the existing house and conceive a new concept from the ground up.

However, for those looking to retain it, the house benefits from established government electricity and water connections, providing a practical starting point with relatively limited initial construction or renovation required.

Access to the property is excellent, via a concrete road extending approximately 200 metres from the main road.

Much of the land is covered with mature coconut trees and mixed jungle, creating a naturally shaded and peaceful environment that lends itself well to a thoughtfully designed concept.
