Honeyvale is a six-acre coffee and areca estate in the hills above Chikmagalur, with a four-bedroom bungalow that has been extended and restored without losing its original character.
The estate produces commercial yields, the sale includes standing crops and farm equipment. A full-time caretaker family handles day-to-day operations.
The hills here are green nine months of the year. In December the valley fills with mist and the estate feels entirely removed from the rest of Karnataka.
Chikmagalur is one of India's most established hill destinations, at 1,000m, cool and lush. The town has good connectivity to Bangalore (5 hrs) and Mangaluru (2.5 hrs).
The district is the origin of Indian filter coffee, a fact the locals mention often and with reason.
