The space
Mindfully Built with Care
Built in 2025 with a 30% premium investment in sustainable construction, every choice was made to honor both your wellbeing and our environment:
Traditional red clay brick walls that naturally regulate temperature
Soaring 11-foot ceilings creating passive cooling comfort
Floor-to-ceiling jackfruit wood windows flooding spaces with natural light
Energy-efficient inverter AC units and appliances
4-star water-saving systems throughout
Zero harmful materials - no asbestos, no toxic chemicals
Superior sound insulation (peaceful despite proximity to scenic railway)
Your Private Sanctuary
Enjoy complete privacy in this standalone house featuring:
2 spacious bedrooms, each with king-size bed
2 en-suite bathrooms with hot water
Fully equipped kitchen (zero-plastic utensils-all stainless steel, metal, and wood)
Energy-efficient air conditioning in both bedrooms
Fast WiFi throughout
Weekly housekeeping with eco-friendly cleaning products
The Organic Garden & Wildlife
Step outside to your private courtyard with a 100% organic food forest-zero pesticides, pure nature:
Mature mango tree (harvest your own May-July!)
Banana plants
Spice garden: curry leaves, lemongrass, chilies
Seasonal vegetables
Start your mornings with nature's entertainment: playful monkeys, curious mongooses, colorful birds, butterflies, and squirrels regularly visit. The garden is lovingly maintained by my mother-a perfect spot for morning coffee while watching Sri Lanka's tropical wildlife.
Natural Comfort Without Compromise
The traditional red clay brick construction and tall ceilings keep the house naturally comfortable even during peak heat. You'll find you barely need the AC-though it's there when you want it. Large windows mean no lights needed during the day. This is how sustainable design enhances your experience.
