dear sir
further to your enquiry i am enclosing here with some farm pictures of my farm in kodai.
i presume it qualifies for all the criteria you have mentioned.
a) salbrious climate... 15 deg to 24 deg...round the year, ideal for cut flower cultivation.
b) unlimited water supply protected and no need to share with down stream farmers.
c) house in site.
d) road approach, with a bus stand at the farm itself.
e) its a running full fledged floriculture project, with all aspects of farming, logistics and sales tied up.
