A unique house that stands in solitude, tucked away beside the forest that slopes into the valleys of Halakarai and Catherine falls. This home really catches your attention with a hip roof that slopes of the sides. Similar in style, several individual houses in the vicinity are used both as summer and weekend holiday homes and guest houses. Shakthi Sai is located conveniently located with good access from Halakarai village.
The property is 20 minute drive to Coonoor and 15 to Aravenu. At an elevation of 1620 metres above msl, the climate is more salubrious than rest of Nilgiris, especially in the winters.
The small villa, being a single level space, enjoys high ceilings in every room. Wooden trusses and skylight are two major highlights that give this home a traditional character. With an open well and a sufficiently large water tank this property has always been water rich. The house has been built with full Vaasthu compliance in mind.
The home has two large bedroom with attached bathrooms. Both the bedrooms enjoy views of the lawn and the forest beyond it. It is a nature lover's paradise to wake up to this every morning to this sight.
