The Address & The Vision

An Address Worth Owning

HOABL Foothills of Matheran 3 is a phase within HOABL's 100-plus acre plotted land development at the Foothills of Matheran in Neral, Raigad. The House of Abhinandan Lodha, commonly known as HOABL, is a branded land company that has built its portfolio around demarcated, RERA-registered land parcels in locations chosen for natural scarcity — Neral, Khopoli, Alibaug, Goa and Ayodhya among them. This phase carries its own MahaRERA registration, P52000046022, within the larger Foothills of Matheran project.

The setting borrows directly from Matheran's own character — a hill station reachable by the historic toy train, with sunrise and sunset views over forested slopes, and horseback trails that have shaped weekend memories for generations of Mumbai and Pune families. Land here sits inside a green infra growth corridor, wedged between the Matheran Eco-Sensitive Zone and the Bhimashankar Wildlife Sanctuary, an arrangement that keeps built density low and green cover high by regulation rather than promise.

HOABL's approach to this land is plot-first: buyers acquire demarcated, titled parcels rather than finished apartments, with the option to build a personal villa on their own timeline. Plot sizes across the Foothills of Matheran project have included 1,238 sq. ft. and 2,260 sq. ft. formats, designed to suit both compact weekend retreats and larger villa footprints with garden space.

The timing is tied to a specific infrastructure moment for this part of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region — the Navi Mumbai International Airport, the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link, and the proposed NAINA smart city framework are all reshaping travel times and land values along the Karjat-Neral-Khopoli belt. Being inside a statutorily protected Eco-Sensitive Zone buffer, adjacent developable land here remains structurally limited even as this connectivity improves.

For those looking to hold land at the edge of a protected hill station, within reach of Mumbai and Pune, HOABL Foothills of Matheran 3 is worth a direct conversation with the sales team.

A Defining Address

Foothills of Matheran, Neral, Raigad, Maharashtra · Neral

Neral sits at the base of Matheran, the hill station reached historically by a British-era toy train, in Maharashtra's Raigad district. Matheran has been declared an Eco-sensitive Zone, which restricts industrial and vehicular activity in the region and keeps its forested plateaus, hillslopes and streams largely undisturbed. The broader Western Ghats around this stretch form a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the Bhimashankar Wildlife Sanctuary lies close by, giving the area a protected green edge that is difficult to replicate closer to Mumbai.

Foothills of Matheran, Neral, is the specific address for this HOABL land parcel — a locality positioned between the Matheran ESZ and the Bhimashankar sanctuary, inside what HOABL terms a green infra growth corridor. Neral Junction railway station, a stop for trains from both Mumbai and Pune, lies close to the site, and State Highway 79 connects the area to Karjat, Neral-Badlapur Road and the wider Mumbai-Pune road network. The locality is positioned to benefit from the operational Navi Mumbai International Airport and the broader NAINA growth corridor taking shape across this part of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.

Beyond the Project

Infrastructure & Growth

Navi Mumbai International Airport

The operational airport is improving connectivity across the Karjat-Neral-Khopoli belt, shortening effective travel time between this address and Mumbai's business districts.

Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (Atal Setu)

The sea link connects South Mumbai to Navi Mumbai and the wider peninsula, reducing travel time to and from this side of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.

Virar-Alibaug Multimodal Corridor

This planned corridor is set to link the western and eastern edges of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, improving north-south connectivity near Neral and Karjat.

NAINA Smart City Development

The Navi Mumbai Airport Influence Notified Area covers large tracts around the upcoming airport, with planned infrastructure expected to benefit adjoining growth corridors such as Neral.

State Highway 103 (Panvel-Bhimashankar connector)

This proposed 24-metre road is intended to link Panvel to the Pune-Nashik highway via Bhimashankar, cutting travel time between Neral and Panvel.

Why Invest

Compelling Reasons

1

Inside a statutorily protected corridor

The plot sits within a green infra growth corridor between the Matheran Eco-Sensitive Zone and the Bhimashankar Wildlife Sanctuary, where industrial and large-scale development is restricted by law, keeping surrounding land supply structurally limited.

2

Two hours from Mumbai and Pune

Neral is positioned centrally between Mumbai and Pune, roughly a two-hour drive from both metropolises, making it accessible for regular weekend use rather than an occasional trip.

3

Neral Junction connectivity

Neral Junction railway station, a stop on both Mumbai and Pune train lines, lies close to the project, giving the address a rail link in addition to road access via State Highway 79.

4

Part of a 100-plus acre township

This phase is part of HOABL's larger Foothills of Matheran land parcel spanning over 100 acres, giving individual plot owners access to a master-planned layout rather than an isolated parcel.

5

Western Ghats backdrop

The surrounding region falls within the Western Ghats, a UNESCO World Heritage site recognised as one of the world's biodiversity hotspots, adding a permanent scenic and ecological backdrop to the address.

6

MahaRERA-registered phase

This phase of Foothills of Matheran is registered with MahaRERA under number P52000046022, giving buyers a documented, regulator-tracked land title process.

About the Developer

The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL)

The House of Abhinandan Lodha, known as HoABL, was founded in 2020 by Abhinandan Lodha and is headquartered in Mumbai, Maharashtra. The company began with plotted land developments in the Konkan region of Maharashtra and expanded rapidly — entering Goa, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and Himachal Pradesh between 2022 and 2024. By 2024, it reported active operations across 16 locations in India, making it one of the country's few genuinely national branded land developers. In January 2023, the company announced a four-year capital expenditure programme of Rs 11,000 crore to fund that national buildout.

HoABL's founding premise is that land ownership in India — one of the most emotionally valued asset classes — has historically been burdened by unclear titles, fragmented documentation, and the absence of institutional structure. The company addresses this by treating every plot as a regulated, master-planned product: each parcel undergoes multi-level legal due diligence, carries RERA registration, and is sold through a fully digital process that works for buyers in any city or country. Nearly 40 percent of every project's land area is reserved for common infrastructure and green spaces, creating community environments rather than raw subdivisions.

The portfolio spans over 1,000 acres of plotted developments, with 13 million square feet of land sold as of company reports and an additional 34 million square feet in the development pipeline. Active projects include Sol de Alibaug on Maharashtra's Konkan coast, The Sarayu in Ayodhya — developed in partnership with The Leela Palaces Hotels and Resorts — waterfront developments in Nagpur, a 100-acre development at Dapoli, and India's first blue zone concept at Neral. In 2023, HoABL formed a joint venture with HDFC Capital Advisors, committing Rs 1,500 crore toward plotted and low-rise developments targeting a gross development value of Rs 4,500 crore.

HoABL's ownership philosophy holds that land should function like a liquid, governed asset — not a speculative wager. The company introduced the proprietary concept of New Generation Land: plots delivered with paved internal roads, underground utilities, curated landscaping, and post-sale relationship management, so that possession day is a beginning rather than an uncertainty. In 2025, HoABL extended this philosophy into vertical housing through its Growth Housing initiative, beginning with a township in Naigaon in partnership with Mittal Builders, and acquiring the former American Center building at Marine Lines, Mumbai, for redevelopment. The long-term ambition, stated publicly, is to make land a tradable, high-return mainstream investment for the modern Indian investor by 2028.
