A contemporary farmhouse located barely 2 hours away from the city of Bangalore, Sunshine Avenue has been designed by a family of architects committed to the betterment of construction practices. Over the last three decades, they have built an extensive portfolio featuring great diversity; from eco-homes and group housing to luxury resorts, conservation, and welfare projects for the underprivileged. They have incorporated a fondness for indigenous art, admiration for the natural world, conscious design techniques, and natural materials into this space. The open layout, minimal walls, high ceilings, and layered and sloping Mangalore tile roofs with glass inlays allow ample natural sunlight and cross ventilation. It opens out into a lush garden with a stone pool.
Almost all the construction materials used are either procured or produced locally in an attempt to stay true to the vision of being ecologically sound. In addition to this, the property also employs three wonderful people from the nearby village as caretaker, security, and cook.
comforts
The self-catered home comes with 3 bedrooms including one in the loft, attached bathrooms, a fully-equipped kitchen, an L-shaped infinity pool, an outdoor sit-out area with a wood fire oven, parking for 2-4 cars, and ample open, green spaces to walk around or relax in. One arm of the pool is 3.5 ft deep and the other is 14 ft, so non-swimmers need to be careful. The total occupancy is 20 guests with extra beds. It is operational throughout the year.
food
This is a self-catered property, with a fully functional kitchen, along with utensils and crockery, available for guests to use. Basic ingredients will be available to use, but you will have to procure the primary ingredients, which our property manager can help with.
If you prefer not to cook, our team can prepare simple, delicious home-cooked South Indian meals upon request for a nominal fee, payable directly.
Meals are priced per person, lunch and dinner (rice, rotis, sambar, rasam, salad, pickle, curd, papad) or (biryani, kebabs, kurma) ranging from Rs. 120 to 180. We do not have à la carte menus.
Meal orders should be placed in advance.
ideal for
As a rule, and to maintain the exclusivity of the experience, only one group of travellers are allowed at the farmhouse at a time. Ideal for couples, families, and groups of friends looking for a quick getaway from the city. Pets are allowed but you will have to clean up after them.
getting there
Sunshine Avenue is located just 1.5 hours away from Bangalore, across the Karnataka border in the state of Tamil Nadu. Your vehicles (3-4 cars) can be safely parked within the property itself. Accurate details and location pin will be shared at the time of confirmation.
things to do
Usual activities here involve early morning and evening walks around the nearby fields, swimming in the pool, catching beautiful views of the sunset straight from the balcony, and watching birds like the Paradise flycatcher and the Grey hornbill who visit these parts frequently. However, the highlight and most popular activity here is to relax and do nothing but read a book and forget about work for a few days!
