Dream House 3

Got $390,000/275,000 Euros or Rs 1.75 crores to spare? Yes? Then I suggest that right now you plonk down the cash and buy THIS house. Forget that long overdue vacation, forget the new car you were eyeing at the dealer, even forget the kids' college education. Trust me, they'll love you if you give them this instead of a college degree! 


What am I babbling about? This house......1200 m from the beach, in Galle Fort, in Hikkaduwa in Sri Lanka! Tropical paradise in my opinion. All those previous posts about my dream house here and here? Cancel that. They don't compare to this. Look at these pics, and then look me in the eye and tell me it isn't THE MOST FABULOUS HOUSE YOU HAVE EVER SEEN OR WILL EVER SEE! And really, if you think of the ridiculously priced homes I have seen elsewhere, the price for this ain't too bad.

OK, so here some details for those of you who are interested... :-) The property was originally run as a hotel with 12 guest bungalows and then torn down in 1999 with plans for a modern boutique hotel! The financial crisis forced the owner to abandon their plans just after the main building was constructed. So the owner transformed the main building into a one bedroom villa for his private use. 

That's fine with me. Less rooms, less to clean. Some more pics to salivate over....

Isn't this just the perfect setting for a tall glass of lemonade, or some hot chai and samosas?

The interior....cool stone flooring, soft white billowy curtains....aaaahhh!

Now, if that wasn't enough, there is a guest house for friends and family on the plot, surrounded by pineapple trees! And it's beautiful. If one of you buys the property I'll be quite happy staying here.

And if none of this convinces you, then how about the garden?

I bookmarked this page ever since I found it on the web, and I look at it at least once every day. It's stunning!
