Perched on the edge, overlooking the Krishna River Valley, Dhom and Balkawadi dams 2000 feet below, the exquisitely designed villa - Beverly - and and the luxury farmhouse - Kamat Riviera - are located on the mountain top 500 meters off the Panchgani – Mahabaleshwar Road. Beverly is a lavish NA villa on a 23500 sq. ft. NA land. Kamat Riviera, the farmhouse, spreads across 2.5 acres with 5 bedroom suites with ensuite bathrooms, a garden house, and a two-hole mini golf course. Both have almost the same stunning view.
On the rugged age-scarred mountains across stands the Kamalgad Fort and the geographic feature ‘mhataricha daat'. The picturesque view from the property and the Ratrani’s fragrance wafting in over the breeze mesmerize you from within and the interiors add on to the opulent living.
Crafted high ceilings and large windows create ample space for sunlight to sweep through this exquisite home. The Grand Canyon like geographic formation with Krishna River flowing in the valley creates a stage for singular episodes like double rainbow, spectacular cloud formations with sunrays bursting through them. The 25-foot-high floor-to-ceiling clear glass of the living room lets nothing between you and this spectacle enacted by the boundless Sahyadri ranges but the mountain air, bringing the Sahyadri ranges right into this dream home.
The 16 ft. high Round Bedroom in Beverly and the Octagonal Bedroom in Kamat Riviera provide an all-round view.
Kamat Riviera is frequented by graceful peacocks, kingfishers, deer, rabbits, mongooses and a plethora of exotic birds. It has a vast beautiful garden with volleyball and badminton courts.
Both the properties can also offer immersive and authentic experiences rooted in local and rural traditions with outdoor activities like trekking to the Krishna river 2000 ft below and to the Kamalgad Fort that stands on the opposite mountain, fishing in the river, plucking strawberries in the fields, romantic walks, trekking / cycling through the forests, and local festivities.
At 4500 feet above mean sea level, Mahabaleshwar, a notified eco-sensitive zone, is the highest and the most popular hill station of Maharashtra in the lap of the Western Ghats, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the 25 hottest bio-diversity hotspots in the world according to Norman Myers, home to over 5,000 species of flowering plants, 139 mammal species, 508 bird species and 179 amphibian species which are not found elsewhere in the world. The Panchganga temple in old Mahabaleshwar contains a spring of five rivers, the Koyna, Venna, Savitri, Gayatri and Krishna, which keep the ‘Shivaling' of Lord Shiva perpetually washed with water, in the sanctum sanctorum.
Do you mind an intrusion on your privacy by an occasional curious peacock trying to peek through your window?
Or laboring to pluck the choicest strawberries in the farm to fill your box for the morning breakfast?
