Our farmhouse is in a 4acre Farm. The farm is attached to a river. We have a private room upstairs with an attached bathroom. There is also ba ig balcony attached to the room, overlooking the whole farm. There are many beautiful natural places in and around the farm.
The room accommodates two adults. We can customise the room to your needs - a double bed, a single bed, or a split double. The main house has a Kitchen, and you can ask the cook to prepare food, or there are eateries nearby.
Located approximately 29 km (about 50 minutes by car) from Mysore, the farm is surrounded by agricultural land, village life, and open skies. Public buses run till the village, and the farmhouse is about a 1 km walk from the village bus stop.
This is not a resort or party space. It is a lived-in farm home, ideal for guests who value calm, nature, and mindful living.

The farmhouse is situated within a naturally farmed property spanning four acres. We practice natural farming, and all produce grown here is chemical-free.
The setting is intentionally minimal:
No air-conditioning
No television

Guests are welcome to:
Walk freely across the farm property
Sit outdoors, read, or simply be still.

The River and the Canal run deep and are dangerous. You will be advised many times that accessing the water bodies is not safe, and you should not venture into them at any cost. The host will not be responsible for the outcome.
