The houses

The tank held water for eighty years before it held anybody. The stone walls are the ones that were always here; what is new is the Mangalore tile roof over them and the single bedroom underneath. From outside it still reads as what it was.

It is small, and the listing says so first: one bedroom, one bathroom, a kitchen, a private entrance, air conditioning for the months that need it, and a place to build a fire for the evenings that want one. There is a pond on the land, made rather than found, and the birds treat it as theirs.

The pool is where the afternoon tends to end.

The listing for this one is brief, so this is too. One bedroom and one bathroom, air conditioning, a balcony, a terrace, and free private parking, out at Sarjapura like the rest of the farm. It goes up on Airbnb under a title of its own, which is most of why it is easy to miss that it belongs here.

The rest waits on the owner. Better a short page than a description of rooms nobody here has stood in.
