The Lavender House by Reveal

One of Sri Lanka's last wooden shingle roofs caps this tea planter's bungalow near Kandy, a five-room colonial retreat on a working hillside estate. A Mirror Wall inside holds the signatures of governors and planters past, the antique billiard table is genuinely antique, and a heated infinity pool looks out over the Kotmale reservoir and the kind of misty hills that make a tea plantation feel inevitable rather than picturesque.
