Project Basics

1. What is Central Vista Farms and who developed it?

Central Vista Farms is a tropical-themed managed farm community spread across 28 acres on the^[3]. It is developed by Agrocorp Landbase, a Bengaluru-headquartered firm operating in managed farmland since 2012. The project comprises 101 farm plots, a 3.5-acre central garden, 24+ amenities, and the signature ready-to-move Vault farmhouse. The design philosophy is anchored in Dharana, an ancient principle of focused concentration.

2. Where exactly is Central Vista Farms located?

The estate sits 3 minutes from NH44 and 7 minutes from the Bangalore–Vijayawada Expressway, approximately 60 minutes from Kempegowda International Airport. It falls within the airport-influence zone running along NH44 in both directions, an area seeing active infrastructure upgrades through 2026 (^[4]).

3. How big is the project and how many plots are available?

Central Vista Farms spans 28 acres with 101 exclusive farm plots. About 90% of the estate is dedicated to green and open space, including a 3.5-acre central garden preserved as community common space. Over 50,000 trees are planned or planted within the community.

4. What plot sizes are available?

Plot sizes begin at 7,000 sq ft. The Vault 1BHK pairs with a 7,000 sq ft plot, the standard 2BHK with 8,000 sq ft, and the larger 2BHK with 10,000 sq ft. Buyers can purchase plot-only or plot-plus-Vault combinations.

Connectivity and Surroundings

5. How well-connected is the project to Bengaluru and the airport?

The drive from Kempegowda International Airport takes approximately 60 minutes. NH44 is being upgraded across the Hyderabad–Bengaluru corridor with a planned 10-lane expansion between Devanahalli and Kodikonda (Telangana Tribune, 2026). For weekend buyers, this means a comfortable Saturday-morning drive rather than a destination that feels remote.

6. What major developments are coming up nearby?

The estate is surrounded by an unusually dense cluster of upcoming activity. The NACIN Mega Campus and BEL Mega Campus sit 10 to 12 minutes away, the APLRC Industrial Park is 12 minutes away, and a planned IT City is 10 minutes away. Bengaluru's broader Devanahalli–Aerospace corridor is projected to attract approximately $20 billion in investment inflow by 2027 (^[5]).

7. Are there tourist or religious sites within driving distance?

Yes.^[6], known for its 16th-century Veerabhadra temple, is approximately 20 minutes away. Penukonda Fort is 35 minutes away, and Puttaparthi, home to the Sathya Sai Baba Ashram, is approximately 40 minutes away.

Pricing, Payment, and Loans

8. Can I get a bank loan to buy a plot at Central Vista Farms?

No. Agricultural land in India cannot be used as collateral for a standard home loan, so every plot purchase is a cash transaction (^[7]). This means no EMI, no leverage risk, and a buyer profile that has already set aside liquid capital.

9. What flexibility is available on payment?

Agrocorp offers flexible payment options tied to registration and ownership transfer milestones rather than a single rigid schedule. Specific terms are shared during consultation since they depend on plot selection, Vault inclusion, and timing.

10. Are there ongoing charges after I buy?

Yes. Plot owners contribute to a community maintenance fund that pays for the on-site team, landscaping, road upkeep, security, water supply, and solar street lighting. Perpetual professional management is part of the product, not a separate add-on.

Legal Status and Buyer Eligibility

11. Can a non-agriculturist legally buy farmland in Karnataka?

Yes. The Karnataka Land Reforms (Amendment) Ordinance, 2020 omitted Sections 79A, 79B, and 79C of the 1961 Act, which had restricted non-agriculturists with annual income above ₹25 lakh from acquiring agricultural land. Non-agriculturists, professionals, companies, and trusts can now buy farmland in Karnataka, subject to remaining restrictions on certain irrigated A-class land (Bar and Bench, 2020). Agrocorp's legal team handles eligibility verification for every buyer.

12. Is the title to my plot completely clear?

Yes. Agrocorp brings no plot to market until the full title chain has been verified, including government surveys, complete ownership history, family lineage checks, encumbrance searches, and regulatory clearances. The reported zero-litigation record across 1,200+ acres and 13 years is the operational evidence the process works at scale.

13. Can NRIs buy a plot at Central Vista Farms?

NRI eligibility for Indian agricultural land is regulated by FEMA, which generally restricts NRIs and OCIs from holding agricultural land directly. The standard workaround is investment through a resident relative or an Indian-registered company structure (^[8]). Agrocorp confirms the right structure on a case-by-case basis.

Construction and The Vault

14. How much can I actually build on my plot?

Indian law permits construction on a maximum of 10% of the plot area on agricultural land. A 7,000 sq ft plot allows up to 700 sq ft of built structure, and a 10,000 sq ft plot allows up to 1,000 sq ft. The Vault's 1BHK at 1,303 sq ft built-up on a 7,000 sq ft plot is designed to work within these legal parameters. For higher built-up ratios, Agrocorp's separate brand Vacation Village operates on land with residential conversion clearances.

15. What is The Vault and why is it designed differently?

The Vault is Agrocorp's signature farmhouse, defined by brick vault roofing drawn from a 40-year-old artisanal masonry tradition from Haryana. The structure works in pure compression rather than concrete-plus-steel tension, eliminating rebar corrosion and slab cracking risk. The curved roof creates a dead air space that keeps interiors 5 to 8°C cooler than equivalent flat-slab spaces, with an estimated 60 to 70% lower embodied carbon footprint than conventional RCC construction.

16. Do I have to build The Vault, or can I just buy the plot?

Plot-only purchase is available. Buyers who prefer custom design can engage their own architect within the 10% construction limit. For buyers who want a turnkey solution, The Vault is a complete designed-and-built farmhouse on a paired plot.

17. What are the Vault configurations and built-up areas?

Each Vault includes a primary bedroom with walk-in closet, attached bathroom with outdoor shower, kitchen and dining area, expansive courtyard, hardscaped pathways, and paved parking.

Amenities, Maintenance, and Investment

18. What amenities are included for plot owners?

Central Vista Farms is benchmarked against a premium residential complex rather than a typical farmland layout. The 24+ amenities span wellness (jogging tracks, yoga and meditation decks, senior citizens park), recreation (children's play area, bonfire pits, BBQ zone, amphitheatre), and distinctive nature features (stargazing deck, themed gardens, themed water bodies). The estate has 12-metre internal paver-block roads, 24×7 manned security with CCTV, solar street lighting, smart irrigation, storm water drainage, and centralised water storage.

19. Who maintains the estate after I buy?

Agrocorp maintains the estate through an on-site management team in perpetuity. The team handles landscaping, the 3.5-acre central garden, road maintenance, water supply, solar lighting, security, and shared amenities. The developer stays operationally engaged with the community rather than exiting after handover.

20. How does farmland near Bengaluru perform as an investment?

Farm plots near Bengaluru have shown appreciation rates of 10 to 15% annually in well-connected corridors through 2026 (^[9]). The Devanahalli–Aerospace corridor's projected $20 billion investment inflow by 2027 (Puravankara, 2026) underwrites the NH44 thesis specifically. Tax treatment also matters: rural agricultural land is not classified as a capital asset under^[10], and Section 54B exempts capital gains reinvested in new agricultural land (^[11]). Buyers should verify tax treatment with a chartered accountant since classification depends on location relative to municipal limits.
