A simple, expansive family home stands in the midst of coffee estates and overlooks a tributary of the Hemavathy, or the backwaters in and post the monsoon. It s a place for a pause. For a rejuvenation of the soul. For meandering conversations long pending, with those that matter the most  family, friends, those closest. For reading books lying around forever since they were bought. For slow, easy walks. For a nice cup of coffee in the rain.
