Bungalow
Built a
decade ago by restoring on a centaury old home at mundackal
estate over a hundred acres of multi crop plantation. The
architecture is a version of kerala style of homes seen
across the state modernized by good usage of wall space by
using large bay windows, inward cut verandahs and large
glass coverage letting in fresh air and light indoors.
We drive
from east to enter into the green and placid surroundings
where a warm welcome awaits from Jose George and Daisy Jose

the midland of western ghats adjoining the foothills of
munnar. The medium pitched tile roofs are gabled at all
faces, which artfully blend the traditional kerala
architecture. The well spread layout of the bungalow and
fine granite masonry is complimented with simple wooden
pillars along the eastern side of the porch and southern
side of the verandah, the wood paneled ceilings of the porch
and the verandahs add grandeur to the home. The gracious
verandahs facing the south and the cool corners tucked in
them are ideal for you to relax at any time of the day with
nothing but freshness all around you.
The inviting interiors are richly furnished with unique wood
and brass work; the walls adorn images of the ancestors down
the legacies who set foot on this soil centuries ago. The
large spans of glass doors let in lot of light and air into
the living cum dining from the western side were the garden
effortlessly flow into sight. The landscaped lawn around the
house has beautiful flowers and coconut palm, which spills
over unto the backyard were various fruit trees like jack
fruit; butter fruit and creepers like passion fruit canopy

pulses are cultivated sufficient for the house that is
served fresh to the guest as part of the menu

hammock while reading a book. Try a hand at the native
