Overview

Set in the heart of Ahangama, this grand colonial house presents a unique opportunity to create something truly special. With over 4,000 square feet of built-up space, the property is ripe for refurbishment with a well thought out vision – think boutique villa and restaurant with plenty of outdoor entertainment space.

Next to the main house, sits a recently built one-bedroom cottage and pool that blends seamlessly with the original colonial charm.

The property sits just off the main coastal road and is a short walk from a gorgeous, swimmable beach.

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.
The house has retained it’s structure and has in place a single phase electricity connection and running water supply.

Refurbishment, for the most part then, would entail fit and finish with no major structural work required.

Access to the property is excellent as it sits just off the main coastal Matara Road, on a lane that has seen plenty of popular development in the recent years.
The property is well-placed, facing the road that leads to the main coast road and is only a couple of minutes walk to the beach and the best spots in Ahangama.
The Southern Expressway is within about 20 minutes drive bringing Colombo and the International Airport within about two and a half hours.
