Purchase price, running costs and rental income: a straight look at what an Alibaug second home really costs.
Alibaug is twenty minutes from the Gateway by speedboat and a different world when you arrive. It is also a market where the running costs surprise first-time buyers.
Running costs
A one-acre villa with a pool typically costs ₹12-18 lakh a year to staff and maintain.
Income
Through a managed programme, the same villa can earn ₹25-40 lakh a year on weekends and holidays the owners do not use.
What to look for
Clear NA conversion, a sanctioned plan, a good well and an easy route from Mandwa jetty.
The Noirvale letter
One considered email a month: new homes before they list, and notes like this one.
