Ein Seltenes Anwesen Auf Einem Hügel Mit Panoramablick Auf Das Meer Und Viel Seele

High on the slopes of Unawatuna Kanda, this substantial 281-perch property offers something rather unusual — privacy, nature, panoramic sea views and a genuine sense of place.

Originally shaped by an old quarry, the land has evolved into something quite magical. Deep quarry craters have naturally filled with rainwater and groundwater, creating three rock ponds within the dense jungle. Surrounded by mature trees and tropical vegetation, they have become their own little ecosystem, full of fish and turtles, bringing an unexpected feeling of life and tranquility to the hillside.

There is a particular soulfulness to this property. Majestic trees, including two beautiful Banyan Trees, rise through the landscape, while rock formations, ponds and dense greenery create a peaceful, almost hidden world, rich in wild life.  It feels wonderfully removed from the activity of the coast, yet Unawatuna Beach is only 0.5 km away, easily accessed by a public walkway through neighboring property.

The property currently includes two separate bungalows. The first is a comfortable owner’s residence, with two ensuite bedrooms, kitchen and lounge. The second is a tourist accommodation unit with one bedroom, bathroom, and spacious open plan kitchen/lounge with ranch sliders to the 1600 sq ft covered veranda. The separation provides privacy for the owner while offering a practical foundation for a small hospitality venture. There is also a third village house, which could be used as a caretaker’s residence.

With 281 perches, there is considerable scope to explore additional cabanas, villas or other thoughtfully designed structures, subject to the necessary approvals. Electricity and piped government water are already in place, supported by a 10,000-litre water storage tank and three power meters. The former quarry ponds, which hold many thousands of liters of water, add another intriguing dimension — with the potential to be transformed into natural swimming pools or simply enjoyed as unique features of this extraordinary landscape.

Perhaps most importantly, this does not feel like a conventional development site. The land has already begun to create its own story — rock, water, jungle, mature trees and views across the coast. Any future development could be shaped around what is already here, rather than trying to erase it.

For someone looking for more than simply a house or an investment, this is a property with space, privacy, potential and character. It could become a boutique hospitality project.
