Long term stay-peaceful Villas in Sri Lanka - care free living!

12 years ago

We are planning to build a few retirement/holiday villas close to Kandy on a 10 acre land to be rented to foreign retirees planning on retiring in Sri Lanka. This post is to get any feedback from such retirees and to find out what their expectations and needs will be while living in Sri Lanka. The villas will feature the following.

Location: about 25 km from Kandy Town, Sri Lanka, near Kadugannawa and Gampola
View: The estate is located on a higher elevation, therefore occupants will have a panoromic view of the rice fields below and the mountains, a very serene, tranquil setting, perfect for star gazing. See images on:
