Some homes just have that way of making you slow down for a second before you even step inside. The Nugadola Wallauwa estate in Pasyala, Sri Lanka is absolutely that kind of place. As you come up the long drive between old ironwood trees, you feel pulled into somewhere special. I remember the first time I stood in front of the main villa—it felt both important and inviting, almost like the house itself was happy to see you. Out here it is hard to believe the busy streets of Colombo are just about an hour away. Most days you mostly hear bird calls and the soft rustle of the breeze, not cars or noise. This nine bedroom villa gives you more than just space. I mean, the built up area is massive—thirty thousand square feet spread out over a plot that just keeps going, more than seven acres if you want the numbers. But honestly, those numbers fall away pretty fast when you are here. The main house has this old manor vibe with real history. Back in the late 1930s, this was built for the British High Commissioner and his wife, and you sort of feel their old gatherings in the high ceilings and big pillars. The ballroom is not exactly what it was back then, but it has turned into this huge living area that wraps around in an L shape, with windows and French doors everywhere. You will also find a family kitchen that really feels made for cooking, not just for show. The dining space just begs for a proper Sri Lankan meal with laughter that sort of drifts out onto the terrace. There are two drawing rooms too, if you feel like reading or just having a chat away from the group. To me, the real heart of the villa is the garden-facing terrace. Mornings are soft with sunlight just touching the old mango tree in the courtyard. I have sat under it and honestly, some days you forget what time it is. Each of the five suites in the main house tries to outdo the others. Downstairs, you get easy access straight onto shaded terraces, perfect for a slow coffee or evening chat. Upstairs, the bedrooms have their own sitting areas. Two of them open onto private terraces catching sunlight in a way that makes you want to get up early. You might notice a gecko here or there, maybe a view over the jungle that stretches out beyond the gardens. There is more though. A lot of guests comment on The Pavilion, which is its own building and offers extra privacy for family or friends. A bit deeper into the grounds, the estate hides a leafy cottage—the kind of place you almost expect to find written into a novel. And then there is The Lookout, which is perched like a tree house with an open shala space for yoga or just taking in the sky at night. Every bedroom here gives you a different angle on the gardens or the jungle. Morning routines are easy. Wake up to green views and the birds already starting up their day. Outside, it is proper countryside living but not the hard work version. The pool is long enough for laps and just feels right among gardens that are well looked after but never overdone. Some afternoons I watched the shadows move across the cabanas and felt hours slip by. There is space for kids to play or for grownups to just lie on the lawns and daydream. Wildlife seems to drop in now and then—once, I caught a monkey up in one of the far trees. Little touches like butterflies over the hibiscus or the scent of rain before it arrives just feel part of the air here. If you are traveling, access makes life simple. The airport is about fifty minutes away and you can get into Colombo without too much fuss. Even so, once you are on the grounds, the outside world gets quiet fast. Pasyala itself has a laid back mood, people know each other, but you always have privacy thanks to all the space. This is not a fancy hotel vibe. It is more like living in a place that has seen generations and is happy for you to add your own story. In the end, you just have to visit to know if it fits how you want to live. If you want to know more or just get a feel for the gardens and the house, let me know any time. At LuxuryProperty.com, we really want your next move to feel as natural and easy as it should.

9 Bedroom Villa in Nugadola Wallauwa House, Pasyala

Some places almost feel like stepping into another world as soon as you arrive. Nugadola Wallauwa in Pasyala is definitely one of those. There is this rare quietness when you come through the gates and honestly it is the kind of home that sort of slows you down right away whether you mean to or not. You come off the main road and roll gently along this long private driveway with ironwood trees overhead and that is where the mood starts to shift. Even the air feels a bit different here maybe it is all the old trees or maybe it is just the space around you but the city and the airport and everything else noisy seem very far away. The villa is quite special. It was first built back in the late nineteen thirties and you really feel the sense of Sri Lankan heritage when you walk inside. There is nothing overly polished or artificial about it. The place has some history to it. British families lived here in the past sometimes even diplomats and once a Hollywood actress stayed for months at a stretch which honestly still surprises me and I have seen a lot of homes in Sri Lanka. You pick up on it in the little architectural details like the great sweeping high ceilings some of them actually vaulted so sunlight filters in and fills the rooms. Everything here just sort of breathes easier and does not feel cramped or dark at all. The whole house wraps around this ancient mango tree at the heart of the courtyard and sometimes you just catch yourself lingering there with your tea. I think a lot of us dream about having breakfast with real views but here you get birds calling and the smell of the fields when you step outside. One of my favorite spots in the house is the double height foyer when you walk in. It is not flashy it just really sets the tone for everything else. You get these classic restored teak doors that swing open to a huge terrace and it is easy to imagine lazy afternoons out there with friends or just sitting with a book while the light shifts across the garden. There is an octagonal dining space too with wraparound glass that actually lets you see the jungle and rice fields changing through the day. Sunsets from here have that golden kind of glow and occasionally you can spot peacocks or monkeys way off in the trees which almost feels unreal sometimes. The living spaces are just as welcoming. The villa has nine big bedrooms altogether but the core six are the main ones and every suite feels private with its own bathroom. Most open out to balconies and if you wake up early you might catch a glimpse of monkeys moving in the branches or see local kids walking down the little path beneath. There is always enough space for family or guests to spread out without feeling on top of each other. It just feels right for gatherings or even if you want to be on your own for a bit. Outside the garden feels well established and green with enough sun for morning walks or shade if you are the kind who likes to lie down and listen to everything. The swimming pool is the proper kind where you can do laps nothing too flashy but just honest and good for the weather. A lot of days you will see butterflies drifting past or peacocks looking for snacks in the grass and the whole landscape has this calm to it that just stays all day. The property sits on a bigger plot than most nearby with more than enough space for everyone to roam around. What I really like is that even though it feels remote you are actually not far from Colombo which is south west from here so airport runs or city trips are easy. Pasyala itself is relaxed never too busy and there are always little markets or coffee shops nearby if you want something close. Evening walks are lovely here and the air cools down fast once the sun drops. Sometimes you just sit out and forget your phone for hours. Nugadola Wallauwa is not just another villa for sale in Sri Lanka. It is a real part of local history. Big enough for families or just if you want that private retreat space. The only way to really know if it has that feeling for you is to come and walk through. If you feel like taking a look or want to ask about anything else I am just a call away. At LuxuryProperty dot com we like to keep things easy and help you find the right place to call home.
