Sunset on the Lake – Igatpuri 

Set on a bougainvillea-scented hilltop overlooking a gorgeous lake view, this serene, whitewashed sanctuary is a refreshingly discreet alternative to the city’s routined lifestyle. As soon as you walk through the massive wooden entrance, you will be welcomed into what one can only call a soft landing for the soul — an endless water view that goes beyond the infinity pool into the undisturbed, glistening lake.

During the monsoons, the home turns into an emerald haven, enveloped in lush foliage, grazing cows and dancing peacocks; whilst in the summers, the home resembles a dreamy white cottage in the bylanes of Greece. Spread across 2.5 acres of meticulously landscaped farmland, the home features a unique linear structure designed to flirt with the wafting breeze and an irreplaceable water view, no matter where you find yourself here.
