About Sunderban आमच्याबद्दल

Thirty years on one hill.

Sunderban began in 1996, when Amba Ghat was a quiet stop on the Kolhapur–Ratnagiri road. We did not build a resort. We surveyed the land, laid roads, brought in water and three-phase power, and converted the plots to Non-Agricultural status — then sold them one clear title at a time.

Thirty years later, the highway is four lanes, premium leisure resorts have opened across the valley, and a 3.5-kilometre tunnel is being engineered through the ghat. The colony itself is unchanged: two preserved open spaces, internal blacktop roads, and a working canteen.

What remains is a final release of plots — each with its own separate 7/12 extract, registered directly in the buyer's name at the Taluka office. Not a membership. Not a share. Land.

What's Included सुविधा

⚡

3-Phase Electricity

Industrial-grade three-phase supply already extended to the colony — sufficient for full-spec construction, AC load, and water pumps.

◐

Year-Round Water

Independent water supply from in-colony source — ample even through dry months. Borewell options available per plot.

═

Internal Access Roads

6-metre and 8-metre wide internal blacktop roads connect every plot directly to the NH-204/166 highway frontage.

N.A.

Non-Agricultural Status

Land is converted to NA — ready for residential construction without further conversion delays or revenue-department processes.

Generous Floor Space Index above 50% — build a substantial home, a guest cottage, or a full holiday villa within sanctioned limits.

Want to build? We help arrange architects, contractors and material sourcing — three decades of local relationships at your disposal.

Caretaker network for owners who use Sunderban as a holiday home. Cleaning, gardening, and security between visits.

⌂

Easy Rent-Out

Built and ready to monetise? The growing Amba Ghat tourism market supports strong holiday-rental demand.

NA status, separate 7/12, and clean title chain mean home-loan eligibility from leading Indian banks for both plot and construction.

◊

Eco-Friendly Surroundings

Two preserved Open Space zones within the colony, surrounded by Sahyadri Tiger Reserve buffer forest. The silence is the amenity.

☖

Canteen on Site

A working canteen serving Veg & Non-Veg meals — Veg & Non-Veg meals available during site visits.

Clear Title & 7/12 सातबारा · ७/१२

Not a unit. Not an allotment. A land record in your name, lodged with the Talathi.

In Maharashtra, the 7/12 extract (Saat Baara Utara) is the sovereign document of land ownership — maintained by the village Talathi's office and verified against the state land records database. Every parcel at Sunderban already stands on its own independent 7/12. No consolidation. No gray areas.

01.

Independent survey numbers, not syndicated interest.

Once the sale deed is registered, the buyer's name is entered into the 7/12 directly — no "shareholder" middle layer, no housing society interpretation.
02.

Title that survives the developer.

Your ownership is recorded at the Taluka level. Sunderban the company could close its doors tomorrow; your 7/12 remains intact.
03.

Builds second-home, farmhouse, or resale-ready.

Clear delineation of agricultural vs. NA-eligible parcels, guided plot-by-plot. Speak to our legal desk for your plot's specific status.
04.

Buffer-zone eco-sensitive, not reserved forest.

Sunderban sits in the Sahyadri Tiger Reserve buffer — a zone that permits private, responsible ownership while preserving the ecology that gives Amba Ghat its worth.

Roads & Connectivity रस्ते व दळणवळण

Four lanes today. A tunnel tomorrow.

In 2026, the Amba Ghat stretch of NH-166 is no longer a winding two-lane. It is a four-lane national highway, with a 3.5-kilometre bypass tunnel approved by the NHAI and now under survey by a Navi Mumbai consultancy. The old S-shaped hairpins are being engineered out.

2018 → 2025

NH-166 became four lanes.

The Ratnagiri–Kolhapur corridor was systematically upgraded; the last sub-packages are closing out in 2026. The ghat is now a proper arterial.

APPROVED · NHAI

A 3.5 km bypass tunnel through the ghat.

The Amba Ghat–Bothatwada alternative alignment was cleared at the Central Cabinet and is under survey by NHAI's consultancy. Hairpins are being engineered out.

MARKET · 2026

Leisure capital has arrived.

Branded resorts and rising tourist footfall have lifted demand for hillside land along this corridor — and the pricing floor with it.

When the tunnel opens, travel times drop — and valuations move first.
