Overview
A warm and welcoming villa, rich in character, positioned on a beautifully landscaped near one-and-a-half-acre plot overlooking Koggala Lake.
Elevated above the water, the land gently descends through manicured lawns and mature gardens to the lake's edge, allowing for uninterrupted views across the lake and surrounding greenery beyond. Thoughtful landscaping and positioning ensure the villa makes the very most of its exceptional setting while retaining a strong sense of privacy.
The house features generous indoor and outdoor living spaces that make the most of the lakefront setting. Four ensuite bedrooms are arranged across all three levels of the home, with one positioned below the pool level, another on the main floor, and two on the upper floor. Each enjoys its own perspective across the gardens or lake. Two additional rooms beside the entrance staircase are currently configured as a TV room and a naturally light-filled study/art room.
An infinity-edge swimming pool extends towards the water and forms the centrepiece of the outdoor living experience, complemented by direct lake frontage, mature landscaping and a peaceful setting just a short drive from Galle, Ahangama and the South Coast's many attractions.
A fully self-contained staff house is positioned near the entrance to the property, providing convenient access while maintaining privacy from the main residence.

Koggala Lake has quietly established itself as one of the South Coast's most desirable residential and villa destinations. Unlike many coastal locations, development around the lake has remained relatively limited and considered, with a small collection of high-quality homes and boutique villas carefully positioned along its shores.
The appeal lies in the combination of privacy, natural beauty and convenience. Residents enjoy a peaceful waterfront setting surrounded by greenery, while remaining just minutes from the beaches, restaurants and amenities of Ahangama, Kabalana and Galle.
As interest in the wider area has grown, well-positioned lakefront properties have become increasingly sought after, particularly those offering generous land extents, direct water frontage and a strong sense of seclusion. This villa embodies many of the qualities that continue to make Koggala Lake one of the South Coast's most enduringly attractive residential locations.

Koggala Lake has become one of the South Coast's most sought-after residential and villa locations, attracting a carefully considered collection of high-end homes and boutique hospitality projects in recent years. This villa occupies an attractive position on the eastern side of the lake, close to the cafés, restaurants and beaches of Ahangama, while still enjoying a wonderful sense of privacy.
Koggala Lake sits just inland from Kabalana and some of the South Coast's most popular beaches, with the ocean reachable in around five minutes by car. Galle Fort is approximately 35 minutes away, while Colombo and Bandaranaike International Airport can be reached in around two and a half hours via the Southern Expressway.
Slightly removed from the bustle of the main coastal strip, the location offers a quieter and more relaxed setting while remaining well connected to the attractions of the South Coast. Combined with direct lake frontage, mature landscaping and beautiful lake views, the property enjoys one of the area's most appealing waterfront settings.
