Presented by LuxuryProperty.com, the Nugadola Wallauwa is an extraordinary 9-bedroom estate, steeped in history and uniquely positioned as one of Sri Lanka’s most iconic properties. Built in the late 1930s as an ancestral manor for the British High Commissioner of Ceylon and his wife, this residence embodies timeless elegance and unmatched architectural grandeur. More recently, it has served as the home of a renowned Hollywood actress, further enhancing its prestige. Situated just 50 minutes from Colombo International Airport and a 90-minute drive from Colombo, the property seamlessly combines prime accessibility with unrivaled seclusion.
A stunning 3-kilometer Ironwood-lined drive leads through plantation lands to this remarkable estate, ensuring privacy and setting the tone for the breathtaking views and serene environment that awaits. The Wallauwa, designed in traditional Sri Lankan architectural style, features sharply pitched roofs, ornately styled pillars, and high vaulted ceilings. U-shaped, it embraces a central courtyard shaded by a majestic mango tree. The ground floor boasts a restored L-shaped 'ballroom' that houses a family kitchen, dining area, and two drawing rooms, complemented by a study/library. Teak French doors open to a large terrace and the courtyard, flowing to an octagonal dining space with panoramic views of the jungle and paddy fields.
The residence includes five grand suites, two on the ground floor with a shared terrace and three on the upper level, each with private sitting areas and two with sun terraces. Additional accommodations include The Pavilion with two bedrooms, The Cottage with a private garden, and The Lookout with an open Shala space and supplementary bedrooms.
Set on seven acres of tropical gardens, the estate features manicured lawns, terraces, and a recently constructed 20-meter pool flanked by cabanas.
