A hilltop address in Summer Hill, Khandala, off the Mumbai-Pune Expressway
Villas · Starting ₹1.28 Cr onwards
Earlier marketed as HIRANANDANI KHANDALA.
Hiranandani Mount Alterra is a plotted villa development on the Sahyadri escarpment above Khandala, developed by Hiranandani Communities in the Summer Hill locality just off the Mumbai-Pune Expressway. Rather than handing over built apartments, the project offers serviced land parcels on which owners design and construct their own hillside residence, at an elevation where the ghat air and valley views define the setting rather than any single building.
The promise here is a slower register of living set against a working landscape of ridgelines and forested slopes. Mornings open onto layered views of the Sahyadri range, evenings settle into the cooler air that has made Khandala a retreat destination for generations of visitors from both Mumbai and Pune. It is a home conceived less as a daily commute and more as a considered return, a place to build toward rather than move into overnight.
The land itself is planned as a single connected layout across 71.86 acres, with internal roads, drainage, water and power laid out before individual construction begins. That groundwork is what allows each owner to bring their own architectural intent to a plot, whether a compact retreat or a larger family home, without having to first solve for basic infrastructure on a hill site.
Its timing sits alongside two shifts in the region: the Mumbai-Pune Expressway Missing Link easing the ghat bottleneck that has long slowed weekend travel, and a broader, gradual infrastructure push around the wider Mumbai-Pune corridor. Neither is an overnight change, but together they make a hilltop address off the expressway meaningfully easier to reach and hold onto over time.
For those who have wanted a foothold in the Sahyadris without giving up proximity to Mumbai or Pune, Summer Hill in Khandala is worth a closer look.

Mount Alterra, off Mumbai-Pune Expressway, Khandala, Maharashtra · Summer Hill · Khandala
Khandala sits at the crest of the Bor Ghat on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway corridor, a hill town long known as a weekend escape for both cities. Hiranandani Mount Alterra occupies the Summer Hill pocket of Khandala, just off the Mumbai-Pune Expressway corridor, perched roughly 518 metres above sea level on the Sahyadri escarpment. Neighbouring landmarks in the immediate vicinity include Duke's Retreat, Shingroba Temple and Khandala's well-known sunset point, placing the address within an established leisure and second-home belt rather than an unproven one.
The address benefits directly from the region's biggest recent infrastructure shift. The Mumbai-Pune Expressway Missing Link, an 8-lane access-controlled bypass of the Khandala ghat, opened on May 1, 2026, cutting the old bottleneck out of the route between Mumbai and Pune. The new alignment has cut travel distance by approximately 5.7 km and reduced Mumbai-Pune travel time by 25 to 30 minutes. For a plotted villa development built around the idea of a hillside second home, that translates into a shorter, steadier drive from either city on any given weekend.

An 8-lane, 13.3 km access-controlled bypass around the Khandala ghat opened on May 1, 2026, removing the corridor's long-standing bottleneck between Khopoli and Kusgaon.
The new alignment has shortened the Mumbai-Pune route by roughly 5.7 km and reduced travel time by 25 to 30 minutes, easing weekend access to Khandala from both cities.
Sections of the Mumbai-Pune Expressway outside the ghat stretch have been progressively expanded, improving traffic flow along the wider corridor that serves Khandala.
The upcoming airport is a gradual, multi-year catalyst for the broader Mumbai-Pune-Khandala belt, expected to widen the region's draw for second-home buyers over time.
Ongoing road and tunnel works along the Bor Ghat section aim to reduce congestion and landslide-related disruptions that have historically affected travel to Khandala.
At roughly 518 metres above sea level on the Sahyadri escarpment, Mount Alterra sits well above the plains, giving owners cooler air and layered valley views that a lowland plot cannot replicate.
The project sits off the Mumbai-Pune Expressway near Khandala, and the newly opened Missing Link bypass has shortened the drive from both Mumbai and Pune, making weekend visits materially easier.
Hiranandani Communities has been active since 1978, with integrated townships delivered in Powai, Thane, Panvel and Chennai, lending institutional continuity to a hill-plot format that is otherwise dominated by smaller local developers.
Rather than a fixed apartment layout, Mount Alterra sells serviced plots in 750 sq.mtr and 3,100 sq.mtr sizes, letting each owner design a villa suited to their own use of the hillside.
Spread across 71.86 acres, the development is planned with internal roads, drainage, water and power laid out at the layout level before individual construction begins on any single plot.
Summer Hill sits within a recognised leisure corridor near landmarks such as Duke's Retreat and Khandala's sunset point, placing the address in a locality already proven for weekend and retreat living.
