Luxurious Holiday Homes with Mountain Views
Under development on a mountainside plot of approximately twelve acres, the
Woodside is a group of luxury villas located on the periphery of Kasauli town in the
district of Solan, Himachal Pradesh. Surrounded by tall pines and old oak trees, the
gently sloping plot is reached by a quiet country road and is designed to complement
the natural wilderness of the area and to conserve natural resources. Comprising
35 luxurious holiday homes of four distinct types with a large clubhouse, this gated
development is entirely self-contained and includes a host of modern amenities to
ensure the comfort, privacy and security of residents.
All the villas in the Woodside development provide residents with generous and
luxurious living spaces, enhanced by specially designed folding full-length door
shutters that open into the lawns, plunge pool decks, pergolas or balconies. These
allow fresh mountain air to circulate through each villa and offer stunning views of the
hills, valleys and snow-capped Himalayas in the distance.
Each villa will have a high quality finish, with tiled sloping roofs, dressed stone exterior
walls and hardwood decks. In addition to the dining and living areas, each villa will
include a finished modular kitchen with granite counter tops and double sinks and
separate staff quarters. Villa interiors include dressed stone walls and wooden ceilings
in some rooms, a fireplace, wooden flooring and bathrooms appointed with imported
marble flooring and high quality fixtures. This is complemented by state-of-the-art,
low-energy consumption electrical fittings. Optional features include a Bose Lifestyle
Series home theatre system, and a Lutron lighting control system. Dining room

Location Profile:
Kasauli is a quaint and peaceful cantonment town informed by a rich history, both ancient and colonial.
Originally established in the early 1840s as a summer mountainside retreat by the British along with Shimla,
Kasauli has a well-preserved colonial ambiance and boasts several fine examples of Raj period architecture,
including many stately private residences and the striking Protestant Christ Church. The area is also home to the
exclusive Kasauli Club, the beautiful upper and lower mall trails, the highest brewery and distillery in the world,
and some of the most premier residential schools in the country. Located at a height of approximately 1,927
meters above sea level, Kasauli is well connected by road with other hill stations in the area like Shimla, and also
with cities like Chandigarh and the capital, New Delhi. The closest railhead is Kalka Station, about 55 kilometers

commercial hill stations in the area, offers an ideal weekend and vacation escape for city-dwellers in North India.
