Disconnect. Breathe. Belong.

Set against the Ujani backwaters and Bhigwan Bird Sanctuary — one of Maharashtra's most extraordinary natural backdrops. A working farmland estate with a private pool, fully equipped gym, and an in-house cook. Built for groups, gatherings and events of up to 20 people. The city feels very far away here. That's the point.

House Rules & Good to Know

Spaces & Privacy+
Private spaces — rooms, dorms, lockers — are strictly personal. No guest enters another guest's space under any circumstance. Common areas are shared with mutual respect.
Quiet Hours+
10 PM onwards — music off, conversations low. The silence here is a feature. Don't take it from the next person.
Events & Gatherings+
Events welcome with prior intimation. External permissions for DJ, amplified music or large gatherings are the guest's responsibility. The estate does not carry liability for unpermitted events.

Alcohol & Smoking+
Alcohol welcome — without social nuisance to other guests, staff or the neighbourhood. Smoking permitted outdoors only. Not in any indoor space.
Pool Rules+
Adults only without supervision. No glass near the pool. Prior notice required for pool readiness — let us know when booking.
Pets+
Welcome. Leashed in all common areas. Not permitted in the pool zone.
Staff & Team+
The in-house team is here to serve — not to be directed beyond their role. Treat them with the same respect you'd expect yourself.
Farm & Nature+
The farmland and grounds are living spaces — not a party backdrop. Treat them accordingly. No damage to crops, trees or wildlife.
Check-in & Check-out+
Check-in 1:00 PM · Check-out 11:00 AM sharp. Late check-out with prior approval only. Early check-in subject to availability — ask D.D.

A refundable security deposit is collected at check-in. Returned in full within 48 hours of check-out, subject to no damage or policy violations.
Power & WiFi+
Inverter backup available for essential power during outages. WiFi available on the estate. Rural connectivity — speeds are functional, not city-fast. Come to disconnect.
Photography & Content+
Personal photography and reels welcome. Commercial shoots, drone usage, or large-scale content productions require prior written permission from D.D.
Monsoon & Road Access+
The Pune–Solapur Highway is accessible year-round. Heavy monsoon may occasionally affect the last 5 km stretch. Check with D.D. before travelling in peak rain. Regular cars manage it fine in normal conditions.
Damage Policy+
Accidental damage happens — please report it to the team immediately. Intentional damage or negligence will be charged against the security deposit. We keep it fair and transparent.
Children & Infants+
Children welcome. Parents are responsible for supervision at all times — especially near the pool, tree houses, and the edgeless gallery. Please note these are not childproofed spaces.
Emergency & Support+
D.D. and the full team are available on-call at all times. Nearest hospital is in Baramati, 30 mins away. A basic first-aid kit is available on the property at all times.
Waste & Sustainability+
Sort and dispose responsibly. The estate sits inside a natural ecosystem — treat it as such. Dustbins are marked. The team will guide you.
Construction on Site+
This is a live 7-acre site — something is always being built. Work is scheduled to avoid peak rest hours. If noise is an issue at any point, tell the team immediately and we'll sort it.

"We're new and learning with every stay. If something feels off, say it in the moment. We'd rather fix it while you're here. You're not just a guest. You're part of what this place is becoming."
