Girija Villa stands a few hundred metres from the Surathkal lighthouse, in a neighbourhood that has stayed calm despite the industrial activity of the port further south.
Four bedrooms, a terrace that looks over the sea, and a ground floor plan that was clearly designed for a family that entertains. The kitchen is large; the dining room flows outside; the garden is planted and maintained.
Surathkal NITK campus and the industrial corridor make this equally suited as a primary residence or a long-let investment.
Surathkal is the northern tip of Mangaluru city, home to NITK, one of India's top engineering colleges, and the NMPT port zone. Rental demand from faculty and senior port staff is consistently high.
Mangaluru airport is 35 minutes south; the city centre is 18 km.
