Real Estate:Scapes Hospitality, a Delhi-NCR-based real estate developer known for curating bespoke luxury housing, has unveiled its latest project, ‘1842 Kasauli’, in the picturesque town of Kasauli, Himachal Pradesh. Nestled in the pristine landscape of Kasauli, the property seamlessly blends heritage charm with contemporary elegance, offering an unparalleled living experience. With an investment of Rs 150 crore, the project comprises only 39 villas spread across 10 acres of pine forests, ensuring unparalleled exclusivity. Each villa is priced between Rs 7 crore and Rs 10 crore, while individual estates are valued at nearly Rs 15 crore to Rs 25 crore, as stated by Scapes Hospitality. Sameer Mutreja, co-founder and promoter of Scapes Hospitality, said, “With 1842 Kasauli, we aim to provide a sanctuary for our customers who are seeking exclusivity, serenity, and a deep connection with nature.” By blending tradition with modern comfort, Scapes Hospitality aims to create a distinctive ambiance that captivates visitors. Through thoughtfully bespoke-designed experiences, the company strives to offer an authentic connection to the past while ensuring a luxurious home. The villas embody vintage architecture inside and out, offering a unique living experience. With varying sizes, they feature estates with gardens, conservatories, pools, hot tubs, and barbecue spaces for refined comfort and leisure. Sanjay Khanna, co-founder and promoter of Scapes Hospitality, said, “From the outset, our approach to constructing these villas has been clear — each property should feel as if it were designed specifically for its owner. By blending sophisticated architecture with exceptional craftsmanship and full service offerings to the owners, we redefine luxury living in Kasauli.” Set against pristine landscapes and fresh mountain air, these villas offer more than elegance; they provide a natural retreat that promotes wellness, relaxation, and mental rejuvenation, he added. The 1842 Kasauli project follows on from earlier successful projects in Goa where Scapes Hospitality caters to the growing trend of the second homes market. With India’s real estate market projected to reach $5-7 trillion by 2047, second homes are now strategic financial assets rather than just luxury purchases. A growing 70 per cent of buyers plan to invest in one within two years, driven by demand for second and vacation homes in scenic and tranquil locations, offering both enjoyment and strong returns. 1842 Kasauli: ‘Colonial Legacy While Modern Comforts’ Rooted in the ethos of immersive and experiential stays, 1842 Kasauli honours the town’s colonial legacy while offering modern comforts, Scapes stated. Meticulously designed, it boasts world-class amenities, including a Wellness Centre, Club House with fine dining, an indoor pool, a pickleball court, and scenic vantage points. Spacious living areas, elegant bedrooms, and well-equipped kitchens make it perfect for extended stays and family gatherings. The interiors blend contemporary aesthetics with local influences, fostering a warm, natural ambiance. Catering to buyers seeking tranquillity, wellness, and luxury, it offers an exclusive retreat seamlessly connected to nature. Ashish Singh, co-founder and promoter of Scapes Hospitality, said, “Hill stations are rapidly emerging as prime investment destinations within the ultra-luxury segment. Our success in Kasauli, where we’ve achieved significant sales, reflects the growing recognition of these locations as offering not just a tranquil lifestyle retreat, but also a compelling investment opportunity.” The combination of strong rental yields and substantial property appreciation, coupled with improved accessibility, makes these second homes a truly astute long-term asset. Each property of 1842 Kasauli is projected to yield a rental return of 5-8 per cent, he added. Growing Second Homes Market In Hills & Beaches In the quiet hills of Kasauli, where pine forests meet panoramic vistas, luxury properties have been witnessing double-digit price growth over the last few years. Luxury villas in the region have an average daily rate (ADR) of Rs 8,500 per room, with occupancy rates peaking at 55 per cent during summer. Additionally, villa rentals in Himachal Pradesh grew 25 per cent YoY in the past 12 months, aligning with the 30 per cent YoY growth seen in the northern hill regions, according to a joint report titled ‘Second Home Quadrant Report February 2025’ by 360 Realtors and Axon Developers.
