hahahaha ! small world ! Yeah Mr. Bhutani is one of the many for sure ! I have known approximately 11 in total. Excluding Neighbors of empty Plot owners. Abhijeet for a 2000 sq ft plot - you wont get the plan sanctioned as per PMC guidelines - it has to be minimum 3 guntha. Besides i had seen some Guntewari and N/A plots - i guess there is 1 3 guntha with N/A which is the 3rd plot from the boundary wall in survey no 256/257. There are Two plots on the Outskirts of Khese park and Kalwar road. There are 4 guntha's and 5 Guntha's NA / Guntewari plots which Mr. Bhutani might have shown you too i guess. They are in Survey 253. But asking rate very high - heard somewhere around 1800 to 2000 / sq. ft.hahahaha ! small world ! Yeah Mr. Bhutani is one of the many for sure !

Dear Truly, Okies, got it now- let me know the plot details, rate , size & dimensions, facing of the plot? boundary wall details if any? sector, how far away from boundary wall of Air force, Distance from Runway etc?

Hello Dinesh ji, How far is the boundary wall from your plot? within 90-100 Mtrs? besides that what is your expected rate for the plot?Hello Dinesh ji, How far is the boundary wall from your plot? within 90-100 Mtrs? besides that what is your expected rate for the plot?
Abhijeet, I completely understand the crisis in your mind. I have been seeing and searching out for plots for the last 8 months - practically been there every second day. There is a lot of speculation with the area - each person holding a different opinion or comment. R-zone - expected somewhere between 4 month to 1 year span - some say before Election it would be declared - but nothing concrete. There is a dispute of opinions with buildings have to be 100 mtrs away from boundary wall of Air force - some say 100 mtrs from Runway... which one is correct no clue. There are various kinds of plots - Power of Attorney plots, Guntewadi Plots, N.A. plots and the normal plots - but as per lawyers n architects - best to opt for Guntewadi or N.A. plots only. Roads are going to be broadened - earlier it was 60 ft now some say BMC settled for 30 feet - Truth no clue! So if you are planing to buy a plot - try to settle for plots 100 mtrs away and guntewadi ones only.Abhijeet, I completely understand the crisis in your mind.

Rates for Khese Park plots - starts from 14,500/- per sq ft if you are lucky or else 15,000/- per sq ft. to 21,000/- sq ft. It all boils down to the Brokers mostly and some investor type owners who are not in a hurry to sell. Brokers usually hike and keep a price margin after owners rate + plus their 2% commission - so you have to negotiate. it is better to talk to shopkeepers in the area , or neighbors - they are more genuine and help full. I am just sharing my experience with you - Maybe you turn up luckier. Good luck ! and yes you cant officially start construction now until R zone is declared. Or else BMC guys are happy triggered to break your house down.Rates for Khese Park plots - starts from 14,500/- per sq ft if you are lucky or else 15,000/- per sq ft. to 21,000/- sq ft.

Dear Truly, We'd would have much appreciated if you had put up your name too, right now it looks we are talking to someone anonymous. By the way There are very few Guntewadi plots actually available on sale now, reason 1) Most waiting for the Government Register up-dation to be completed for R zone , secondly, the has been a good deal demand of such plots so most are hiking up the prices. However there are 2 plots which are so far known to be up on sale - a) 4100 sq ft. and b) 5000 sq ft. having said this - there is one more very good plot which will take some time 1 month at least before it is ready to be sold - the size being little less than 4 guntha's.Dear Truly, We'd would have much appreciated if you had put up your name too, right now it looks we are talking to someone anonymous.

Hi Abhijeet, Yes right said there is a saying in colloquial hindi " BEHTI GANGA MEIN SAB HAAT DHOTEY HAIN" that's with most of the people. However, with my last months of searching and finalizing a plot finally i Khese Park last Tuesday, I have come across the best and the worst of the lot. Let me know the size of plot you are looking for and any other specifications that you might have in mind - I'll see what best can be done - I have met some owners in the course of my searching so perhaps would be able to connect you with them directly - Only if you promise me a treat LOLz! heheh ! so you save on brokerage and this endearing trouble of searching with the wrong folks. However i had met only ONE genuine sub owner of plots who is a business man and studied his policies - This guy gives like 50% of plot value to owner and books a plot for 3 months - 6 months - within that period he gets a buyer and sells the plot - I was in the middle of this deal just yesterday. Finally a clean Guy!Hi Abhijeet, Yes right said there is a saying in colloquial hindi " BEHTI GANGA MEIN SAB HAAT DHOTEY HAIN" that's with most of the people.

This clean guy makes 25 - 50 Rupess per square foot on a plot after investing on it - and he is very good with all clear paper work plots only ....Very influential with PMC sanctions etc and he is a landlord himself + plus resides in Khese Park itself ..so good team and clear conscious policies. Let me know your requirements - I'm sure we could help each other.This clean guy makes 25 - 50 Rupess per square foot on a plot after investing on it - and he is very good with all clear paper work plots only ....Very influential with PMC sanctions etc and he is a landlord himself + plus resides in Khese Park itself ..so good team and clear conscious policies.

Ann Delorme, It is not dangerous I'd say - but you just got to know the system and policies that go in the area. Now , I am searching Plots for 2 of my friends who are NRI's and i find it a little difficult with all the papers being in order - rest it's perfectly fine. Just wait till the elections and this area will be declared officially with GR clearance as a R-Zone. Once this is declared R-Zone prices will shoot up by at-least 1000 to 1500 per sq. ft. depending on the location of the plot. Besides Survey no - 253/ 256/ 257/ 258 has no problems. except area near to the Bakery in Khese Park which is very close to the Boundary wall has some restrictions. All constructions in that area before 2012 will have no problems but any new constructions in that area will be demolished - so you just need to pick up a decent plot that's all.Ann Delorme, It is not dangerous I'd say - but you just got to know the system and policies that go in the area.

My comments to replies
I am still interested however my requirement is not exactly 3000 sq.ft as the cost would be bit much for me but if its an NA plot then i can think of trying for a loan.
Abhijeet, it's really sad that i came to know about this so late! the plot i bought was around 6000 sq.ft. and i only needed around 3000-4000 sq ft max as per my budget constraints too ..and the balance 2000 needed a buyer ..the rate was quite good - very affordable and finally after weeks of desperate search the owner sold it to a Catholic family. I am not too sure if the deal is totally complete ..but i guess all payments are made already ! there are a couple of smaller plots too ..will talk to my guys and update you once i am back home ASAP.

Abhijit/Sanjay, This is going great. We can all work together and see if all our requirements, thinking and budgets match. Lets can talk sometime this weekend. Abhijit please share your email address ? I can start the conversation going. You are looking for 2000 and I am for 4000 so we can probably bargain for bigger plot and get cheaper deal as our expert friend Sanjay did. Will talk more in emails.
there ae a couple of 5 gunta plots there too, one i knew was 5 gunta's @70,00,000.00 so approximately 14 lakhs per gunta. west facing plot.

All, Has anyone else recently purchased plots in Khese Park ? if so please do get in touch. if someone is interested we can together get good deal. Sanjay, How can I get in touch with you ? You seem to have lot of knowledge on Khese Park. Please email me or share your contact number. Thanks Krish
yes, i have done that in my previous comment to kirti - Krish dear,for you again( sanjaychatterjee.sc@gmail.com) I think you are thinking in lines of buying a good sized plot and then splitting it into smaller ones ..so all can feel a lot more secured and think constructively. Great idea if you get similar minds Dada! Presently i am on official tour in the eastern India- will be back by third week of Jan and will definitely get in touch and chat up ..we should all meet up first and then come out with a solution ..through so many now brokers, agents, owners etc.

hahahaha ! small world ! Yeah Mr. Bhutani is one of the many for sure ! I have known approximately 11 in total. Excluding Neighbors of empty Plot owners. Abhijeet for a 2000 sq ft plot - you wont get the plan sanctioned as per PMC guidelines - it has to be minimum 3 guntha. Besides i had seen some Guntewari and N/A plots - i guess there is 1 3 guntha with N/A which is the 3rd plot from the boundary wall in survey no 256/257. There are Two plots on the Outskirts of Khese park and Kalwar road. There are 4 guntha's and 5 Guntha's NA / Guntewari plots which Mr. Bhutani might have shown you too i guess. They are in Survey 253. But asking rate very high - heard somewhere around 1800 to 2000 / sq. ft.
Hi Kirti, My email id:sanjaychatterjee.sc@gmail.com - Honestly i had become a often seen face of Khese park. Coming from no rich n famous background - i could not possibly afford to buy anything and then regret later. So the study, delay and continuous process of back tracking or overtly being proactive on my search. Will discuss at length and always ready to help simpletons like me!
6th January 2014

hi everybody if you could pas on any plots which you are not interested in to me i would appreciate my cell no 9225500320,
Hello Alim Chagla ji, are you looking for a plot to build ? or just investment? the reason i ask this is - I'd really love to help and guide unknown friends and acquaintance who really need some assistance - for investors and rich folks out there - you could go through the agents and brokers around there! and they are not bad at all in general. Please don't mis-comprehend me ! just being honest with my feelings!

Heard from one of the architects that the permission for construction will be granted in next 5-6 months in Khese park .. anybody aware of this ?
There is mainly one architect around the area who is well experienced in the area and one young architect and contractor who seems to be coming up in recent times there. I had heard from the committee that they have applied for final approval and sanctions, also heard plans are now going to be accepted and sanctioned from Jan 2014, but not sure of the recent updates. What i also feel the sanctions are going to be related with the upcoming elections - so by April most hurdles would be sorted out and plot prices are going to soar !
6th January 2014

Hi Sanjay, I am in the same boat as Abhijit. Surprised to read that there are NA plots here in spite of being Green zone. Could you please tell how that's possible? Will PMC sanction plan for such plots? What effect will declaration of R zone have on these plots? I have a budget of 45 to 50 L. Would be glad if you could connect me to some owners. Also tell your favorite restaurant :) I have seen a few plots with a broker named Rajesh. Any idea about him?
hahah Hi Pravin, I guess we were all in the same boat at one point of time or the either! lol! See, N/A was isued for a short period then stopped. Even Guntewadi has also stopped now. The entire area is basically Agriculture land, then comes the issue of Air force restricted zone - which was originally 900 mtrs around the area, But with Rohan Mithila and some more builders getting into close range constructions the plans changed a bit - restrictions became 90/100 mtrs from the boundary wall of Air force campus. Even that's quite a dispute and contradicts with every person living or selling plots in the area. House just next to the walls which were broken down at one point of time are again now reconstructed back. Col. Mazumdar's house broken down, Col. Shinde same fate ..but all back again...the Plot front of Bhutani's office was totally zeroed down but now suddenly a huge building is coming up again. So i guess it has also something to do with the upcoming elections scene!
