Your Plot in the Himalayas — 150 Acres of Deodar Forest and Apple Orchards in Mashobra
Villas · Price on Request
HOABL Shimla Plotted Development is a 150-acre branded land estate in Mashobra, conceived by The House of Abhinandan Lodha — a Mumbai-headquartered developer founded in 2020 that has assembled over 1,000 acres of plotted developments and sold 13 million square feet of land across 16 locations including Alibaug, Goa, Ayodhya, Amritsar, and Nagpur. The Shimla project marks the developer's entry into the Himalayan leisure market, applying the same legal rigour and infrastructure-first approach it has used in each of those markets to one of India's most historically significant hill addresses.
Plots are offered across three sizes — 1,200, 1,920, and 2,890 square feet — each set within low-density, Vastu-compliant layouts designed to preserve sightlines across the Shivalik ranges. The estate spans untouched apple orchards and deodar forest, ensuring that the natural canopy remains the defining character of the neighbourhood rather than a backdrop to it. Owners can choose to build a personal retreat at their own pace, with infrastructure — roads, water, and utilities — developed as part of the master plan.
HoABL's approach to design begins with the land itself: every plot has been chosen for its topographical integrity, and the master plan maintains a deliberate restraint in built density so that the mountain setting remains intact. The same philosophy has informed projects such as Sol de Alibaug, a 100-acre coastal development, and The Sarayu in Ayodhya, where the developer partnered with The Leela Palaces Hotels and Resorts to bring hospitality-grade amenities into a plotted development. The Shimla estate follows a comparable model, with Leela Group-managed hospitality services and a wellness spa woven into the community infrastructure.
Shimla's real estate market has recorded strong year-on-year appreciation driven by structurally limited land supply — the city's geography and building regulations constrain new large-format development — and growing demand for Himalayan second homes from buyers in Delhi-NCR and Chandigarh. The under-construction Chandigarh-Shimla Expressway on NH-5, spanning 120 kilometres and incorporating 11 tunnels, is projected to reduce drive time between the two cities to approximately two hours upon completion, directly improving accessibility to addresses on Shimla's eastern corridor such as Mashobra. Against that backdrop, a 150-acre parcel of this scale in Mashobra is, as the developer notes, among the last large-format opportunities available in this micro-market.

Hindustan-Tibet Road, Mashobra, Shimla, Himachal Pradesh · Mashobra · Shimla
Mashobra sits 13 kilometres east of Shimla city centre along the historic Hindustan-Tibet Road, at an elevation of approximately 7,700 feet above sea level. The town is enclosed within the Shimla Water Catchment and Wildlife Sanctuary, its slopes covered in Himalayan deodar, oak, pine, and rhododendron. It is among the least commercialised pockets in the Shimla district, largely preserving the landscape that made it a retreat for the British-era elite and, later, one of India's two Presidential retreats at Chharabra.
The address sits on the Hindustan-Tibet Road, the principal arterial route connecting Shimla to its eastern districts, which is itself the subject of upcoming road-widening works that will improve last-mile connectivity. Shimla city offers four major hospitals including Indira Gandhi Medical College and Hospital, long-established residential schools such as Bishop Cotton School, St. Edward's School, and Himalayan International School at Chharabra just minutes from Mashobra, and a commercial core along The Mall. Jubbarhatti Airport, 22 kilometres from the city centre, handles regional air services, while Chandigarh International Airport approximately 115 kilometres away provides the primary gateway for long-haul travel.

The 120-kilometre four-lane expressway incorporating 11 tunnels is under construction and projected to reduce Chandigarh-to-Shimla drive time to approximately two hours, significantly improving weekend-home accessibility from Delhi-NCR and Punjab.
Upcoming road-widening works on the Hindustan-Tibet Road — the primary corridor connecting Shimla to Mashobra — will improve last-mile connectivity and reduce peak-hour travel time for residents of the Mashobra micro-market.
The Airports Authority of India has allocated Rs 124.22 crore for runway restoration and apron extension at Shimla's Jubbarhatti Airport, with a new terminal building under development to support scheduled and VIP operations.
A Rs 2,500-crore investment under the Smart City Mission is upgrading core urban infrastructure across Shimla, including roads, utility systems, and public spaces, raising the baseline quality of the city's built environment.
State-led tourism infrastructure investment across Himachal Pradesh continues to expand hospitality, road access, and visitor capacity in Mashobra, Kufri, and Naldehra — the leisure corridor directly adjacent to the estate.
The estate spans 150 acres in Mashobra at an elevation of approximately 7,700 feet — within the Shimla Water Catchment and Wildlife Sanctuary — making it one of the last large-format branded plotted developments available at this altitude in Himachal Pradesh.
Buyers can choose from 1,200, 1,920, or 2,890 square foot plots, allowing flexibility across a compact cottage, a family villa, or a sprawling estate — each within the same master-planned, infrastructure-ready community.
Planned on-site Leela Group-managed hotel, dining, spa, and concierge services mean owners have five-star hospitality at their doorstep, and can optionally enrol their villa in a Leela-branded rental programme during non-occupancy periods.
Every plot undergoes HoABL's multi-level legal due diligence, delivering encumbrance-free titles and RERA compliance. Non-Himachal residents can purchase residential land here within the state's legal framework, facilitated by the developer.
The under-construction Chandigarh-Shimla Expressway on NH-5, widening works on the Hindustan-Tibet Road, and Jubbarhatti Airport upgrades collectively strengthen Mashobra's accessibility, directly supporting long-term land value in this corridor.
Mashobra houses one of India's two Presidential retreats at Chharabra and the Wildflower Hall by Oberoi Hotels — a neighbourhood defined by institutional and heritage prestige rather than high-density commercial development.
