Moksha - a Sylvan retreat set amongst the hills of Karjat


New Age Realfin Pvt. Ltd. brings you Moksha - a sylvan retreat set amongst the hills of Karjat, that has the perfect ingredients to make your weekends as relaxing as they are memorable. Moksha is conceptualized as a weekend getaway for the discerning few, who find solace in nature's lap. Which is why, it is built to give you an authentic "back-to-nature" experience. With a minimal use of concrete and artificial materials, Moksha is as environment-friendly as it is unique. The unique mud huts and wooden cottages, for instance, give you an experience that you've never had before, while being gentle on the ecosystem around. The property stands on a 7-acre development nestled amidst lush greenery and is surrounded by mountains and streams on all sides. 

Moksha has been conceptualized and constructed based on the principles set forth by Laurence Wilfred "Laurie" Baker (March 2, 1917 - April 1, 2007), a British-born Indian architect who pioneered the concept of minimal housing, known as the "Gandhi of Architecture". Laurie's approach sought to incorporate simple designs with locally sourced materials for cost-effective, energy-efficient and organic design. Laurie was conferred with the Padma Shri in 1990, for his efforts. Electricity to the homes is provided completely through solar power. New Age Realfin has partnered with the National Center for Photovoltaic Research and Education, a division of ITT Bombay, to provide the best possible solar power solutions to the resort. On the of other hand, the water and sewerage facilities are provided by Vision Earthcare Pvt Ltd, a company that was set up in 1993 by a group of ITT Bombay Researchers. Vision Earthcare specializes in providing its clients with eco-friendly products and services in the area of water treatment. Finally, the landscape at Moksha is developed by Oikos, a consultancy firm working in the field of Natural Resource Management, Biodiversity Conservation, Ecological Landscaping and Eco-tourism planning. 

Each Moksha unit is built on 2,000 SFt of NA Land and comprises your own mud house in a 1BHK + guest room configuration (of 900 SFt) along with a kitchen garden, Aangan and a mud pool. Each Moksha unit is fully furnished with a King-size bed in the master bedroom (Queen sized in the guest room), a 3-door cupboard, refrigerator, LED TV, a fully automatic washing machine and bathrooms with bathtubs. We've also included an open-plan kitchenette with a modular kitchen. The living area is fitted out with a cane or wooden sofa set, a center table and a 6-seater dining table. Oh yes, each Moksha unit draws power from its own exclusive solar power unit!
