I bought a plot of land in 1982 on the slopes of Hanthana range overlooking Gannoruwa valley with the hope of building a house upon my return from US after completing the Ph.D. We did come back not as planned in five years but after 25 years. We started making plans for building a house soon as we got settled down. It will still be a house with a view.
Land prices have gone up about 150 fold in the 27 years. In relative terms a university teachers monthly salary would have bought three perches (a perch is 270 sft) in 1982 while it takes 3 months salary now to buy just one perch! It was a good investment!
The site has an elevation of 2300 ft above MSL, which is 800 feet above the city of Kandy. The exact bearings for Google Earth is 7-15'30.08" N and 80-37'04.20" E.
