Nestled in the midst of a lush green 150 acre estate is traditional Syrian Christian home. This house was built in 1930 and is set amidst old and huge Mahogany, Teak, Mangostene, Nutmeg and Clove trees and overlooks lush green paddy fields. Rubber is the main crop we grow on the estate, besides cocoa, tapioca, pepper, vanilla, rice, coconuts, bananas and pineapples.
Your stay with the family at the estate home would be a good opportunity to experience life as they do in the plantation. You will be well cared for and comfortable in the home, and your privacy is assured since the out house is independent from the family residence.
