India's first luxury agro-tourism resort community — where select landowners farm, belong, and build something that lasts.
"Every agro-tourism resort in India serves its guests.
Astral Hills serves its landowners."
Astral Hills Agro Resort is a registered agro-tourism estate in Velhe, Western Ghats, Pune — 60 acres of working agricultural land surrounding a luxury resort built for the people who own it.
A 5-acre resort at the centre. 110 individually owned agricultural parcels surrounding it. One founding community of estate members who hold freehold title to their land, have their parcels farmed on their behalf, and belong to a place deliberately built to last generations.
The resort operates the farming programme, the farm-to-table restaurant, the wellness centre, the heritage and fort trek calendar, and the full estate services — not for visitors who check in and check out, but for 110 founding estate members who own the surrounding land and return to this valley as their own.
The Velhe valley sits at 850 metres in the Western Ghats, with three Maratha forts visible on the horizon and near-zero light pollution. The local families who have farmed this soil for generations are permanently employed by the resort.

Astral Hills Farm Estates is a joint venture between two firms whose combined expertise spans regional land markets, global infrastructure, and precision estate development.
Pune's foremost authority on land-led farm estate development
Panchratna Ventures Pvt. Ltd. is a Pune-based real estate company with a singular focus on land-led and plotted property offerings — farmhouse plotting, agricultural plots, resort plots, and estate advisory across Pune and Mumbai. With over 3,000 acres transacted in and around Pune, they are the regional authority on farm estate development.
Their portfolio includes landmark projects such as Karandi Hills, Paal Hills, and Nandivali Hills — each a proof point in delivering plotted agricultural communities that hold value across generations. Panchratna brings the land knowledge, the regulatory relationships, and the transactional track record that makes Astral Hills possible. This is their ground.
Global AEC firm · Architecture, Engineering & Construction
Spazevision is a global Architecture, Engineering, and Construction firm whose project portfolio spans some of the world's most demanding infrastructure programmes — Riyadh Metro Stations, Muscat International Airport, Facebook Data Center Ireland, and Disney USA, among others.
At Astral Hills, Spazevision brings international design standards and estate positioning to a project rooted in the Sahyadri. Every built element — each cottage, each amenity, each estate detail — is held to the same standard of precision they apply on global mandates.
At the centre of 60 acres of working agricultural land in the Western Ghats sits a 5-acre registered agro-tourism estate with five premium member cottages. It exists entirely to serve the people who own the surrounding land.
The resort does not have guests in the conventional sense. It has 110 founding estate members who own the land surrounding it, and for whom everything here was built.
Named for the historic Deccan trade routes that once passed through these Ghats. Every ingredient sourced from within the estate or within 15 kilometres. Kolhapuri, Malvani, and Varadi cuisine cooked to the rhythm of the harvest calendar.
Full glass walls. A Sahyadri panorama. A kitchen that knows exactly which parcel your produce came from.
You call or message 24 hours in advance. By the time you arrive, your cottage is prepared, your parcel is ready for a walk-through, your table is reserved, and every experience you want is confirmed and waiting.
DGCA-compliant helipad on the grounds. Pune to Velhe in under 20 minutes.
Picture your family spending a weekend afternoon on a proper box cricket ground, playing alongside names you recognise from Indian cricket and entertainment. This is not a resort activity. It is a genuine league — teams formed from the estate member community, fixtures scheduled, founding celebrity members playing alongside resident families season after season.
For children growing up on the estate, it becomes the highlight of every season — the event they plan for weeks in advance and remember for the rest of their lives.
Most children who grow up in Indian cities have never seen a seed become food, negotiated a price, or understood where the vegetables on their plate came from. The Astral Kids Farmer Programme is a curated workshop series — arranged on demand — designed to teach them exactly that.
Three age tracks: Little Farmers (5–8), Earth Lab (9–13), and Young Builders (14–17). Youngest learn soil and crops. Older children go deeper — water cycles, seasonal farming, rural economics. Young Builders covers agri-business thinking and the history of the landscape they are standing in.
Rajgad, Torna, and Sinhgad — three of the most significant Maratha-era hill forts in Maharashtra — are all visible from the Astral Hills estate on a clear morning. They are not a backdrop. They are the reason this valley matters.
A resident scholar-historian is on campus every weekend, and each month the estate runs a guided trek to one of the three forts — through the passes and across the terrain that Shivaji Maharaj once commanded. Members who have done the Rajgad trek in the post-monsoon season, when the Ghats are still green and the air is cold by evening, come back for it every year.
Most wellness programmes at resorts work on a fixed schedule — you arrive, fit into what is running, and leave with a pleasant but generic experience. Astral Wellness works the other way. When an estate member wants a wellness experience — a Panchakarma detox, a specific Ayurvedic therapy, a private yoga immersion, or a guided meditation retreat — they book it through the concierge. A specialist therapist is arranged for their visit. The session, duration, and intensity are built entirely around the member.
Full range of classical treatments — Abhyanga, Shirodhara, Nasya, Basti, and Panchakarma protocols — alongside curated yoga and guided meditation designed for the specific quality of silence the Velhe valley offers. The herbal garden on the estate supplies every treatment ingredient.
At 850 metres elevation with near-zero light pollution, the sky above Velhe is among the clearest within reach of Pune. The estate's professional telescope installation opens on moonless nights through the winter and post-monsoon seasons.
The monthly Astral Nights gathering — held on the full moon, when the valley is lit silver and the forts are visible without a torch — has become one of the most anticipated events on the estate calendar. There is no experience quite like watching the Milky Way arch over Rajgad from your own land.
When you own a land parcel at Astral Hills, you do not need to be a farmer. The resort's permanently employed Velhe Taluka farming team manages your parcel through the full seasonal cycle — soil preparation, kharif sowing in June, first harvest by October, rabi cultivation through winter, and year-round maintenance. You do not need to be present for any of it.
What you receive is a monthly harvest box — labelled from your specific parcel's survey number — delivered to your Pune or Mumbai address. The farm produce also feeds directly into the Rajdhani Table kitchen, meaning that when you dine at the resort, there is a real chance you are eating from your own parcel.
The Astral Concierge exists so that arriving at the estate feels like returning home rather than checking into a resort. You call or message 24 hours in advance. By the time you arrive, your cottage is prepared, your parcel has been readied for a walk-through, your table at the Rajdhani Table is reserved, and every experience you want is confirmed and waiting.
For members who prefer to arrive by air, the estate has a DGCA-compliant helipad on the grounds. Pune to Velhe in under 20 minutes. The concierge manages the booking. You arrive.
Five premium member cottages. A resort footprint that earns its place not as a backdrop, but as the living centre of 110 founding families.
Sahyadri vernacular design — brick, stone, and timber with deep verandahs opening to the valley. Reserved exclusively for estate members. Prepared to arrival-ready standard on 24 hours notice.
Positioned to face the valley with three forts on the horizon. The gathering point that no one planned but everyone uses after a fort trek or a cricket match.
Resident Ayurveda doctor and naturopath on campus. Panchakarma programmes and daily consultations. Adjacent herbal garden supplies every treatment ingredient — tulsi, ashwagandha, brahmi, and 40+ botanicals.
Full box cricket stadium. Two pickleball courts. Covered badminton. Basketball. Where the community competes, not just passes time.
Dedicated event space for community gatherings and the annual calendar — Navratri, Holi, the Solstice Bonfire, and the Independence Day Fort March.
Curated archive of fort records, regional history, Maratha-era maps, and Western Ghats natural history. Built in partnership with the resident scholar-historian.
Compliant helipad on the resort grounds. Pune to Velhe in under 20 minutes. Available for member arrivals, departures, and emergency evacuation.
Ayurvedic and medicinal botanicals native to the Western Ghats. Every plant labelled with traditional name and harvesting season. Supplies the wellness centre, restaurant, and Kids Farmer Programme.
Monthly open-air market where Velhe Taluka producers bring local honey, seasonal vegetables, and handmade goods. Where the estate's relationship with the local economy becomes visible.
Open-sided pavilion on the eastern edge, designed for first light. No programme, no instructor, no schedule. A place to sit with the valley before the day begins.
Working hub of the managed farm services programme. Members can walk their parcel with the farm manager at any time and track what goes into their next city delivery.
Professional telescope installation. Open on moonless nights. The monthly Astral Nights gathering has become one of the most anticipated events on the estate calendar.
Founding members lock in pre-launch pricing — the only price point at which this land will ever be available at this level. Once the 110 parcels are allocated, this conversation is over. There is no second cohort, no waitlist pricing, no second chance at founding status.
