Overview

A beautifully restyled paddy-side home blending contemporary finishes with classic Sri Lankan touches. Set in a serene pocket of Heenatigala with wide, uninterrupted paddy views, it has a naturally cozy, tucked-away feel.

The single level layout is simple and relaxed. The main living area, with its open kitchen, opens onto a verandah that wraps around the pool extending the living space outwards and framing views of the garden and paddy out front. Three bedrooms sit just off this central area, easily accessed and intimately arranged on the same level.

Polished cement finishes, soft neutral tones and traditional rooflines give the home a warm, refreshed character. Mature trees surround the property, offering natural shade and a beautiful green backdrop throughout. The house sits neatly on one corner of the plot, enclosed by a boundary wall, while much of the remaining land opens directly onto the surrounding paddy - creating a quiet hideaway still close to Galle’s coast and cafés.

The property is located just north of Heenatigala, an area well known for its beautiful paddy stretches and a number of smart villas.

The area remains quiet and peaceful despite steady development while being within easy reach of the beaches in Habaraduwa and Talpe, and Galle Fort with its cafés and restaurants - all within a short drive.

The property is currently rented out by the owners and has performed well, attracting positive reviews from guests.

Its peaceful setting, paddy views and proximity to the beach position it as a strong short-term rental option with clear appeal for holidaymakers.
The house benefits from a traditional well for water and a three-phase electricity connection. Access is via a track road that borders the rice paddy and meets a well-connected concrete road, offering easy links to the main routes toward the Southern Expressway and the coastal road southwards.
With much of the plot left untouched, new owners have plenty of space — and a natural canvas — to conceive an addition that complements the existing house.

The property is offered for sale fully inclusive of all furniture, fabrics, linen, kitchenware and kitchen equipment, pending offer.
