Description

Atmospherically located within the ramparts of the 17th-century Galle Fort, 48 Lighthouse Street is an extraordinary sanctuary from which to explore the fascinating culture and intriguing history of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

This magnificently proportioned 4 bedroom mansion, one of the fort's largest houses, has been meticulously restored by the owners and is the epitome of elegant and luxurious colonial living.

Grand doors open to reveal cavernous and magnificent interior spaces, arches and verandahs designed to provide exceptional living and peaceful respite from the heat, hustle and bustle of Galle Fort.

This property is well suited to groups or large families given the amount and variety of the living space on offer - the formal living room, an elegant library, the private bar, a covered roof terrace and an exquisite pavilion in the large garden. These spaces are large and airy, open to the outdoors, with soaring ceilings, original antique doors and windows, cool terrazzo floors, sumptuous furnishing and stunning contemporary art.

There is no finer residence in Galle Fort for the discerning traveler.
