The Idea

Planned by renowned international landscapers and architects, the property sensitively draws from Bangalore’s rich artistic and architectural traditions, while meeting the taste and standards of contemporary living. Long walkways run through the sprawling landscaped property. Distinctive features include pitched pavilions, sloped roofs, wood and stone seaters, and a fine balance in the arrangement of structures and space, all characteristics of an authentic Bangalore home.
The Land
Serene Hills is set within the terraced valley of Kaggalipura. Situated amidst lush green forests, the property is flanked by hills, vast fields and others breathtaking views in all directions. Located at the edge of the Bannerghatta National Park, the surrounding topography is perfect for those who love great outdoors. It also serves as a destination for avid trekkers, history buffs, and birdwatchers. Long winding paths that meander through the green meadows and temperate woods make for great evening walks, while the lake nearby is a perfect place to laze away many a Sunday afternoons.
The Recreation
