Originally purchased in 1978 as very old tea plantation, and, immediately replanted with cocoa, pepper, coffee, and cloves.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s sold a few acres in blocks of 10 to 40 perches at the proximal end of the land at the rate of 3000 Sri Lankan rupees per perch. This sold area is now built up with middle class residences, and, the present going rate here is around 50,000 rupees per perch.
No permanent residents in the land. Resident labour available at boundary.
Natural soil fertility is excellent resulting from over 30 years collection of leaf litter.
At the upper boundary is an 11-acre block of land owned by an European investor with intention of a tourist project. Adjoining this part a small extent of my land left as scrub land to show the scenic beauty of the close and distant surroundings. (See pictures).
