Overview

A beautifully conceived hillside property set within a lush jungle estate a little over 40 minutes north of Galle, positioned to offer complete privacy while enjoying far-reaching views across its own grounds and the tea-covered valleys beyond.

Completed in 2023, the house retains a fresh, contemporary feel, with clean architectural lines, polished cement flooring, and refined modern finishes throughout. Set within an elevated forest-edge landscape, it opens fully to its surroundings, with an infinity pool and living spaces oriented towards the jungle canopy and distant hills. The overall layout and positioning of the house reflect a carefully considered approach to both design and infrastructure, making full use of the natural contours and unique jungle-and-rocky topography of the site.

The estate itself is defined by a carefully crafted landscape, including hand-finished stone boundary walls and a subtle water system that moves naturally through the terrain, forming small cascades before settling into a quiet rock pool below.

The setting is quiet and naturally secluded, with the house sitting comfortably within its natural environment. Set within a 4.5-acre estate, the property also offers significant scope for further development, while retaining its sense of privacy and seclusion within the immersive setting.

The entrance to the main house opens through tall glass-framed doors into an inviting open-plan living and dining space, set beneath a striking A-frame roof with generous ceiling heights and full-height glazing that creates a strong sense of volume throughout.

The main living area is oriented towards an infinity pool that appears to fall away into the jungle below, with the space opening directly onto a large, well-finished deck for seamless indoor-outdoor living.
The main kitchen sits within the open-plan living space, complemented by a separate wet kitchen to the rear. A guest washroom and laundry room are positioned just off the living area.
Two ensuite bedrooms are located on opposite ends of the house, each enjoying views across the surrounding rocks and dense greenery of the estate.

A small office space sits just off the main entrance, while an attic level - connected to one of the bedrooms - provides additional flexible accommodation.
Beneath the main structure, there is further space that could be developed to accommodate additional living or recreational areas, should new owners wish.
The property is located in Nakiyadeniya, a quiet and elevated hillside area a little over 30 minutes’ drive from Galle. Set within a forest-edge environment, the estate feels secluded and private, surrounded by dense greenery and rolling tea-covered hills.
Despite its sense of seclusion, the location remains conveniently accessible, with Galle and its beaches, restaurants, and historic fort all within a comfortable drive.
The Southern Expressway is approximately 25 minutes away, providing access to Colombo and the international airport in around two hours. Galle Fort and the southern coastline are within approximately 45 minutes.
A concrete driveway runs along the boundary of the property, leading up towards the estate. At the lower end, a secondary gate provides access that can serve as a staff entrance or additional parking area below. Continuing upwards, the main gate opens onto a more neatly finished internal driveway, which crosses over a natural water feature before leading to the main house.
A separate staff house and kitchen are positioned just off the main entrance.
The property is supported by a traditional well water system, with additional storage capacity of 11,000 litres, a three-phase electricity connection, and 24-hour CCTV coverage.
Set within 4.5 acres, the estate also offers further scope for development beneath the main house, as well as across the wider land, while maintaining its sense of privacy and seclusion.
The property is offered for sale fully furnished, including all furniture, electronics, and kitchenware, subject to an agreed offer.
