2011 as a bare and abandoned land. It is beautifully located in the Puttalam
District, next to the village of Puliyankulam right on the boundary of the

Since the land is situated in Sri Lanka's dry zone, a dam has been built to keep the water from the natural springs on the land and therefore increase the level of groundwater and keep our soil moist. During the rainy season this lake floods about 3 acres of the estate.
