Custom Built Bungalow on Private Plot — Palani Hills Estates, Kodaikanal
Secluded amongst the heights of a beautiful coffee plantation — individually designed, custom built bungalows on private plots in the heart of the Palani Hills in the foothills of Kodaikanal.
About Palani Hills Estates
A home apart, in the heart of the hills.
Secluded amongst the heights of our beautiful coffee plantation lies a selection of stunning plots, each ready for the construction of your own individually designed estate bungalow — lovingly built by our experienced construction team.
Just one and a half hours from Kodaikanal hill station and two hours from Madurai international airport, this is plantation country at its most prized: a place of undulating fields of pepper, coffee, lime and avocado — the beating heart of the hills, encircled by protective forests.
At 1,100 metres above sea level, the approximately one to two acre plots are a rare opportunity to create a home apart. Set within the 500 acre private coffee estate are 20 acres of exquisitely situated plots. Each benefits from the peace and security of a protected estate.

Coffee & Pepper Plantation Living
Let the Palani Hills become your oasis of peace.
You came looking for an escape from the pressures of urban life. Here, amongst the mountains of Tamil Nadu, you will find it — in the company of other kindred spirits revelling in the spontaneous joy of a very different and unchanged India.
Waterfalls, towering peaks and precipitous escarpments form the backdrop to a far-reaching vista of working farms, traversed by tree-hung paths and ancient walkways.
Surrounded by the fragrance of fruit and spice trees, fresh herbs and vegetables, patches of roses and cuttings brought here from across India. Just an hour from the heat of the plains, the forest becomes a refreshing haven filled with colour, birdsong and cool breezes.
