Overview

After the slightly mad bustle of the main coastal strip you have to almost pinch yourself on first glimpse of this property, so beautiful is it and so hidden and far removed from all the noise and activity a few kilometres back.

The house itself has a neo-classical design; lots of symmetry and grand stairs running to manicured lawns. 100 year old teak floorboards and plenty of polished wood soften the interiors which have a special old-world charm. There’s an undeniable romance to the house that befits its origin - built by a French architect as a birthday present for his wife.

The living space and bedrooms (5 of them altogether) are not vast but feel luxurious in character and designed with a kind of timeless aesthetic.

The gardens are a mix of perfectly landscaped terraced lawns and wilder tropical planting. A wide infinity pool perches at edge of the upper level of the property, adjacent to steps that run down through the property to access what almost feels a private beach

Four bedrooms in the main house sit around the central living and dining space. The Master Bedrooms is generously sized. It has a spacious bathroom and a private garden through which you have a separate outdoor bath. The other bedrooms are smaller but well proportioned.
The principal dining and sitting space is large with a 16m high vaulted ceiling adding to its sense of grandeur. This space opens to a terrace that boasts quite spectacular 180 degree views of the Indian Ocean.
The kitchen is large and sits just apart from the main house.
Just East of Mirissa, the property is well-placed in the heart of the South Coast’s most popular stretch but away from the noise of the coast road which diverts a little inland.
It sits approximately 10 minutes drive from an access point to the Southern Expressway meaning Colombo and the International Airport are comfortably within two hours drive.
This stretch of Sri Lanka’s coast has attracted the bulk of the country’s tourists and continues to be the most sought-after by investors whether looking for commercial or private opportunities.
The property as stands offers a quite stunning private beachside home but with just under 3.5 acres there’s of course significant scope to develop much further optimising a compelling commercial opportunity.
A significant potion of the land, as it runs out West from the main house, would be available for development of cabanas or small villas all overlooking the ocean.
