Owner profile
Owner Leona Macleod
About the owner
I live on an island called Orkney located at the northern tip of Scotland. I am The General Manager of a Hotel
on the Islands. Orkney is very busy in the summer months with tourists, but the winters are very bleak. I bought my house in Kerala, India 2 years ago. On my
first trip there I thought it was one of the most beautiful places I had ever seen. I was lucky enough to
be in a position to buy a house there. I found a house for sale on the Backwaters of Alleppey. My last holiday there was for five weeks and we all had a fantastic time. My intention is to go there as much as possible and rent it out the rest of the time. It really is a unique
holiday destination I can fully recommend it.
Why the owner chose a home in this location
The very first time I sailed into the Backwaters of Alleppey I thought it was one of the most beautiful places I had ever seen. A very peaceful place away from the normal hussle and bussle, the local people are so welcoming and friendly and are never intrusive in any way. Poonilavu House is situated on the river in a most beautiful setting, only 10 minutes away is the
town of Alleppey where all amenities such as hotels, restaurants, banks, supermarkets, railway station, etc are available.
Unique benefits of the property
Ideal location very peaceful and quiet with easy access to Alleppey town only 10 mins away. Situated on the river it is a delight to watch children going to school in wooden canoes, women diving for fresh mussels, men out fishing and going about there daily chores, duck farmers with their thousands of ducks, something you could watch all day. Boats coming past selling the fresh catch of today. To the rear of the house is fantastic views of the vast paddy fields where
the women go to work most days.
The neighbours and local people are so helpful and more
than happy to assist with anything you require.
