Overview

This beautiful and neatly proportioned beachfront plot is ideally suited for a small-to-medium villa development. A rectangular plot is accessed directly from a good tarmac road on a popular stretch a little away from the centre of Matara - one of the larger towns on Sri Lanka’s Southern Coast.

The plot is bare of any building development but with a good amount of mature vegetation that could be landscaped to a nice finish adding a little privacy at the beach side.

The beach is relatively narrow (though wider at certain times of year) but beautiful and quintessentially tropical with palm trees leaning lazily to the sea.

Location

About 40km East of Galle, Matara was a colonial hub on the South Coast; evidenced by the historic Fort about which there’s much talk of a Galle-esque redevelopment.

The Southern Highway extension puts the town within two hours’ drive of central Colombo and the proximity of this plot to the highway entrance (no more than 10 minutes drive) adds to the value.

As the highway’s stretched east so too has tourism investment and the area either side of this plot is now well sought-after for hospitality projects. A number of popular spots - such as The Doctors House - increase the attraction for visitors giving the land, once built on, great rental potential.
