Old world charm

“There’s a special joy in having an English tea party sitting on an easy chair under an 80-year-old cedar tree with the person who planted the tree when he was 12 years old”

Every little thing in School Estate is curated, quaint, and has a rustic charm. From the beautiful embroidered bedsheets to the art in all the rooms- All of them are designed to add a lot of character. Why the name school estate? In 1856, A german missionary, Reverend Christian Georg Richter came to became the Principal of the Government Central School and the inspector of schools in Coorg. In appreciation of his efforts the British government gave Rev. Richter a generous grant and as an endowment to the schools, for setting up a coffee-plantation and to build a home for himself. You can now check into the house as a guest at School Estate.
