Land in the plains of Matale: Ideal for Vanilla plantation or EcoTourism Project.

Located near Matale, this 12.5-acre bare land merges into the natural jungle decor in the plains of Matale.

The exact location is 12 km for Matale Town on the Matale-Kawudupelella Road. It is also 1.5km to the main Matale-Dambulla Road or A9 (Dambulla in where you find the Lion’s Rock). Clear deeds are provided.

Matale often spelled (or pronounced) as Mathale is a mid-size regional city that geographically lies in the heart of the island. Located 142 km from Colombo, is nestled at an elevation of 300 meters in an expansive dense valley. As bland urban sprawl with a congested one way system, Matale doesn’t see too many tourists. So it is quite possible for you to wish to not dawdle here for long. However, the road that lies towards the north of the town is encrusted with an array of welcoming spice plantations where cocoa, rubber, vanilla, cardamom, cinchona and jackfruit thrive. This is not all. This Sri Lankan town is also popular for kohila (an aquatic plant/herb) as well as small benign chilies.  

Traversing east of Matale, through the Knuckles range, you will come across some striking mountain views. The B38 goes uphill from the northern end of the town and takes you to the Rattota whereas the other roads going south west will head you to the hill villages of Karagahandala and Elkaduwa before finally leaving you to Victoria Reservoir and Kandy. It is pristine, beautiful and a little backward in terms of development, but a single visit here when touring the other cities of Sri Lanka is very well worth it.   

At Esprit, we advise you the best investment based on the location and on what the region is known for best.

As an investment project, a vanilla production is to be suitable. In fact, in Sri Lanka, cultivators produce Bourbon vanilla or Bourbon-Madagascar vanilla derived from the Vanilla Planifolia species, which originated from Mexico.

Vanilla grows well at 1000m above sea levels, mild temperature, and 2000-2500mm rainfall. Matale comprises all these features, amongst other cities such as Kandy or Nuwara Eliya.

The vanilla produced from the plantation you will own could be consumed locally and exported mostly to countries such as New Zealand, Singapore, Italy, Argentina, and Poland. To know more about it, contact us whenever you feel it! We will be open to any of your questions.
