As the land in the vicinity started slipping, officials evacuated all the residents of the house and prevented a major disaster.
Officials said more than 100 homes have collapsed in the last three days in Coorg district where Mercara is situated.
Large parts of South India including Kerala and parts of Karnataka have been battered by heavy rains for a week, triggering floods and landslides and causing death and destruction of property.
