Views of an unofficial Pune real estate market:
The other day, i visited one of my friend's bungalow, located behind Agam Mandir at Katraj, in Pune Municipal Corporation. "Ravi, would you like to buy a bungalow plot? 3 - 4 Gunthas with a view of Jambhulwadi Lake or Katraj Ghat!," my friend asked me.
"I already have one! With a beautiful view of Katraj Lake and Pune City!," i said.
"But i want to show you a couple of plots with a beautiful view!," my friend insisted.
"You are wasting my time. I don't write about unofficial real estate market of Pune," i told him.
"But i read your blog on
Parag's Jambhulwadi Lake View Bungalow!," my friend's wife said.
"I enjoy flirting, you know," i told her.
"Really? I thought you were serious!!," my friends' wife said.
"Because, you don't understand the difference between lust and romance!," i told her and looking at my friend i said, "Constructing bungalows on these hill top plots, is not a romantic idea. It's pure lust. Lust for land. To fulfill your lust you molest your mother earth"
"Humans lust for money, sex and land! You can't change, deny or ignore it!," my friend said.
"Yes, you are right. Let us face it!," i said and we took a tour of the unofficial real estate market of bungalow plots on the hill top and hill slopes of Jambhulwadi and Mangadewadi Katraj, over looking Katraj Ghats on one side and Jambhulwadi Lake on the other. Have a look at a few photographs i shot in this tour and from my friend's bungalow:

ReplyDeleteare these plots NA ?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info, nice blog.
ReplyDeleteIs construction on these plots by developers wil be considered as illegal? Most of them selling plots in the price range of 3-5 L per guntha. I am sure these plots are hilltop/hillscope zone and can't be converted into NA anytime and at any cost. So better to stay away from these. please comment.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, Marathilover!
ReplyDelete[Marathilover] I am sure these plots are hilltop/hillscope zone and can't be converted into NA anytime and at any cost.
ReplyDelete[RaviK] You are right, Marathilover!
If this is true Rravi, then why publish such scam… sorry scheme?
As a seasoned RE professional I am sure that you were aware of these facts. As a responsible blogger you should know which schemes you are publishing (or may I say “advertising”) in your blog
Noble thought, wi-sec! For the answer, please, read the blog!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the problem in buying such kind of land that is called hill top/ hill slope? In terms of law,is it illegal to buy such land or build property in such place? Is there any chance of seizing such lands by government in future ?
ReplyDeleteDear Amol, please, consult the legal expert about all these issues!
