Land at the foot of Matheran, held by Oberoi Realty
Plots · Starting ₹42 L onwards
Oberoi Neral Karjat Plots is a pre-launch, gated plotted development by Oberoi Realty in Neral, Karjat, conceived as weekend-home land at the foothills of Matheran. It is positioned as gated weekend-home plots at the foothills of Matheran, priced from Rs 42 lakh onwards. For a developer whose name is more commonly attached to high-rise towers on Mumbai's western suburbs, a plotted layout in the Sahyadri foothills marks a different, land-first register of the same design discipline.
The promise here is straightforward: a plot of one's own within a planned, secured community, set against hills that have drawn Mumbai's weekenders for over a century. Matheran's identity as a car-free hill station, reached from Neral by road or by the narrow-gauge toy train, gives the surrounding countryside a character that is difficult to replicate closer to the city. From Neral, a narrow-gauge toy train covers the roughly 20 km climb to Matheran station in about an hour. Owning land in this belt is as much about that access to stillness as it is about square footage.
Oberoi Realty's approach to land has typically favoured scale and control over piecemeal assembly. Vikas Oberoi is known for acquiring large parcels of land and developing landmark projects, including the 60-acre former Novartis campus in Goregaon and a four-acre plot in Worli from GlaxoSmithKline, with that instinct for identifying rare, well-located land parcels running through every Oberoi address. The same read-the-land approach that shaped Oberoi Garden City in Goregaon and Thane now extends to a plotted format in Karjat, built around planned internal roads, defined boundaries and shared open space rather than a single tower footprint.
The timing follows the region's own trajectory. Karjat is only 25 km from Panvel, letting residents make a short trip with scenic views along the route, while remaining well connected to both Mumbai and Pune. The upcoming Karjat-Panvel rail corridor, along with continuing expressway upgrades, is expected to shorten that distance further, adding a second-home market to what has long been a weekend-getaway one.
For buyers looking at land rather than a built unit, in a hill-station corridor with an established rail head and a four-decade-old developer's name attached to the layout, Oberoi Neral Karjat Plots opens for early conversations ahead of its formal launch.

Karjat Taluka, Raigad District, Maharashtra · Karjat
Neral sits at the base of the Matheran plateau in Karjat taluka, Raigad district, where the Sahyadri range meets the Central Railway line linking Mumbai and Pune. It is a railway station on the Central line of the Mumbai Suburban Railway network located in the town of Neral, and a major junction on the Kalyan-Karjat section connecting Mumbai and Pune. It is also the starting point of the Matheran Hill Railway connecting to the hill station of Matheran. The town has long served as the gateway for travellers heading up to Matheran's car-free hill station, giving the address a rare mix of rail connectivity and forested quiet.
For a plotted, weekend-home format, this address works on its own terms: a functioning railway junction, an established hill-station economy of resorts and homestays already built up around it, and a wider Mumbai Metropolitan Region where rail and expressway upgrades are actively narrowing travel time from the city. Set against the pleasing topography of the Sahyadri ranges, Karjat is well connected to Mumbai and Pune via road or rail, at a distance of about 70 km from Mumbai and 105 km from Pune, reachable by train in 1.5 to 2 hours. Owning land here means owning a stake in a landscape defined by ghats, waterfalls and a slower pace, without giving up a rail link back to the city.

A 29-km rail line being built by Central Railway and MRVC under MUTP-3, expected to decongest existing tracks and improve access between Karjat and Panvel toward Navi Mumbai International Airport.
The upcoming airport is expected to reshape travel and property demand across the wider Mumbai Metropolitan Region, with Karjat positioned along its evolving rail catchment.
An additional line approved along the existing Panvel-Karjat stretch aims to separate freight and passenger traffic, allowing more frequent suburban services on the route serving Neral and Karjat.
Continued improvements along the Mumbai-Pune Expressway and the parallel old highway keep road travel time to Karjat and Neral competitive against rail, supporting weekend and second-home demand.
The sea link connecting South Mumbai to Navi Mumbai shortens the road journey toward the Karjat corridor for commuters and weekend travellers coming from the island city.
The project sits at the foothills of Matheran, India's only car-free hill station, giving plot owners proximity to a protected, forested landscape that cannot be replicated closer to Mumbai.
Neral Junction is a stop on the Central Line between Kalyan and Karjat and the starting point of the narrow-gauge Matheran Hill Railway, keeping the address connected without heavy road dependence.
Buyers acquire a plot within a planned, gated layout, allowing a self-built weekend or second home shaped to personal preference rather than a fixed apartment configuration.
The developer has built its reputation on acquiring large, well-located land parcels and shaping them into planned neighbourhoods, a philosophy now extended to a plotted format in Karjat.
The upcoming Karjat-Panvel rail corridor and Navi Mumbai International Airport are expected to shorten travel times and draw fresh attention to the wider Karjat-Neral belt.
With plots starting at Rs 42 lakh, the project offers a comparatively approachable ticket size for buyers seeking a branded second-home or land investment near Mumbai.
