What began as a personal journey has evolved into a sanctuary for rest and renewal. A visit to the Knuckles Range sparked a deep connection with the landscape-Particularly the elusive Dumbanagala Rock. Years later, that connection led to the purchase of a 50-acre cardamom estate at its base. Once part of a vast British era coffee plantation, the land was steeped in history and natural beauty.
The estate featured a 1973 cardamom kiln but lacked livable infrastructure. In 2005, construction began on a chalet style residence inspired by alpine architecture. Harsh weather, logistical challenges and crop failure tested the project. A visiting friend encouraged a new direction. “Let others experience this place.” Her words sparked a transformation -from a private residence to a serene haven welcoming guests to rest, reconnect and recharge.
