Luxury Real Estate in Goa

Real estate market, especially the high end Real estate market in Goa has seen a sluggish year so far. Premium properties being built around Goa but the slow sales are pulling down hopes of enthusiastic buyers purchasing these properties. While mixed views are widely spread around the market experts note that the property prices around Goa are witnessing a correction wherein property prices are shooting up in some places while its dropping in other places. 


Another commonly noted fact is the drastic decrease in the demand for old styled Portuguese villas in Goa. These properties have seemed lost their charms on the neo-buyers who prefer investing into properties with proper gated complex and other premium amenities for a posh lifestyle. The buyers for such properties are actually people from Delhi, Banglore, Pune, Mumbai and other metropolitan areas. The trend observed is that these people purchase villas in Goa by selling their properties in the respective metros to slow down and live a relaxed life. Once they feel the push to return into the metros, they sell out the properties in Goa for a profit and get back. 

This trend has definitely affected the luxury real estate market and as such because of the withdrawal of this trend the market may be undergoing a correction.

Eco Landscaping for your Luxury Villas

Can you imagine that the green zone of your Luxury Villa in Goa can actually be non Eco friendly? The basic idea of Eco friendly is to reduce the strain on the environment by becoming energy and water efficient and here are landscaping ideas to do just the same.

Water Strategically
The best time to water plants is early in the morning. It follows the same idea of an early rise and healthy lifestyle. Watering the plants earl in the morning allows time for excess water to evaporate before the sun gets high in the sky. If you were to water your plants in the mid day, the plants tend to develop sunburn. Install a soak-er hose in your flower bed or a sprinkler system with a timer in your yard to keep the grass lush and green.

Use Less Energy
Energy efficient solar lighting is a far better option than the traditional usage of electricity. Same applies for gardens and landscape lighting. Having a solar power system to light your garden in the evening will definitely reduce both your electricity bill and carbon footprints.

Harvest Rainwater
Why pull in the municipal water supplied for you and drive an excess amount to the plants. Rather have your own little rain water harvesting unit to supply your plants (and yourself probably) the required water you would need. It’s quite the plan since rain water can be easily harvested for re-use and in a state like Goa where the monsoons can bring a heavy quantity of rain, every year. Rain water is better too, as it doesn't contain salts used for purification of water which is not so great for soil.

Skip Bagging Grass Clippings
Getting your grass clipped once a week and leaving it in the lawn is actually good for it as it promotes a hospitable environment for the earth worms and organisms to flourish in the soil. However, putting it off and having you clipping done once a month is definitely bad as the longer blades smother the grass and don’t allow sufficient sunlight on.

Why Eco Luxury Homes

Living under the banner of luxury means splurging and an exquisite lifestyle where there are absolutely no compromises. It is an indulgent living where you could spend in surplus for a life of luxury just so you can highlight it and earn the envy of your neighbors. However, the trend today is about going Green, so much of the splurging is actually against the ongoing trend. However, you shouldn't sacrifice style over sustainability, so Go Green the big way, ECO-LUXURY!!

Some ideas for going Green the luxury way is as follows:

Green Building materials: The IGBC council guidelines have laid down a list of raw materials for building and constructions that are rated Green. They are specially selected to ensure that the construction churns out minimal toxic waste and do not pollute the ecosystem while assuring a high quality construction.

Renewable Energy: Imagine having a small unit that produces electricity from Wind Turbines and Solar panels which provides the bulk of your electrical requirements? Such units don’t come at an easy price but makes for a rather powerful impression when it comes to going Green.

Energy efficiency: Using the most energy efficient appliances that cut down on Power usage and offers the most with regards to efficiency is a double benefit. While the cost of purchase and installation is higher than normal appliances, the efficiency is higher. You even have to spend a lot less for your electrical needs which is a win-win situation.

Waste management: Sounds rather troublesome, but the simple act of managing your waste between biodegradable, plastic, Glass and Metal actually makes for a rather clean home. It signifies quite the effort you take to ensure a clean environment. That being said, the level of cleanliness it demands is such that it makes people take you very seriously when it comes to going Green.

Rain water Harvesting: Water is an abundant resource but good quality water is often in the highlights of national and international debate. A rain water Harvesting Unit that is set to supply the bulk your water requirements shows off a strong image on your self-dependence and your ability to self sustain. Having your own supply of clean water makes you an important resource holder.

Water Recycling: Water Recycling is yet another feature of going green that can be capitalized on. A water Recycling unit ensures that water is not needlessly wasted and that water is used and reused until its quality is exhausted. A water recycling plant can be the crux of Eco Luxury.

Private Farm: A private farm where you have your own vegetables and fruits growing at your own convenience is rather an interesting style statement. Off course, this is not ideal for a person with limited gardening interests. But if you do have an interest in gardening, your own little on property farm could earn you the the envy of neighbors for a fresh supply of clean and organic produce.


Eco Swimming Pool: The ultimate in Eco Luxury is the Eco swimming pool. A craze in Europe, an eco-pool is especially designed to promote the environment and provide you the comforts and luxury of a swimming pool without the additions of chemicals for maintenance. The Eco Pools are designed to take care of itself and provide a cooling dip in the hot summers.
