High on a grassy ridge between Panchgani and Mahabaleshwar, this timber-clad hill home looks out over folded green hills & the silver sweep of the dam below. The air is cool, the views run wide, and the pace slows the moment you arrive.

Step inside, & the Wild West meets the Sahyadris. Honey-toned wood wraps the walls and ceilings, a double-height hall rises to a gallery with wrought-iron railings & framed cowboy portraits, a mounted stag head, & acoustic guitars set the tone. Sink into a burnt-orange Chesterfield, pick a book from the library, or claim the floor cushions by the picture window as clouds drift across the valley.
