This house is located on the top side of the hill with 270-degree views to capture the valleys and mountains. Built-in traditional hill home style and well-located.
Few bungalows capture the beauty of the Nilgiris while also maintaining the aesthetics of a hill home in the Nilgiris. Whispering Pines is one of them - built about a decade ago, this house has been made to the traditional British Colonial adapted architecture style, maintaining symmetry and even façade; it is a dream house for nature lovers. The house enjoys excellent views covering 270 degrees from the valley on the east and north to the tea plantations, forests, dotted villages and tea factories.
The site is covered with a small tea plantation, a driveway, the main house with a garage and a servant quarter. A covered verandah with a foyer at the entrance welcomes you from a covered car park. The home is spacious, with separate rooms for living and dining. The building has been built wide to capture the beauty of the Nilgiris and yet enjoy the wind and sunlight throughout the day till evening. The bedrooms enjoy great views and are loaded with fixed cupboards. A bar corner in the upper living area highlights the house, again walking out into the balcony and viewing the deep valley.
The home's location also makes travelling to Ooty, Coonoor and Kotagiri convenient. Kattabettu serves as the junction between the 3 significant towns via highways. The main road is less than a kilometer, and the home remains undisturbed by anything but the songs of nature. A few restaurants, tea points and other nearby residential communities make the location apt for living regularly and as a summer home.
The views from the property are outstanding, looking into the Kotagiri Valley and Coimbatore Valley unobstructed. One can see tea estates, pine and eucalyptus forests, sholas in the deep and several small villages in the distance.
