Older report of 18 July 2012:

The first site that we saw here seems ideal. Just 2.6 Kms from Kuruppampady's private bus stand  there was 150 cents of estate property available. The total quoted was INR 5000000 which worked out to INR 33333 per cent. 2 KM of Tar Road was pucca while 0.6 KM was only rock surface.

The type of land was Rubber estate

The type of land was Rubber estate with an internal road reduced to a path that could take a lorry.

As said before, being 16 Kms  from the Nedumbassery Airport,   more than makes up for the lack of view. Deepest ground water level could be thirty feet. Pump, rubber press, electricity, and water connection, with Panchayat number is already available. Agents are Shafique & Ashraf.

This site is recommended because of the cheapest pricing, only 2.6 Kms from Kurupampady town, untapped rubber trees, with mild slope, despite a short unsurfaced access road of 500 meters. The site is shortlisted.
