Neoclassical Retreat in Shivalik Foothills with Luxe Interiors, Pool & Fireplace

Tucked away in Karoran, just on the edge of Chandigarh, this home isn’t loud but quietly unforgettable for its beauty. Once the residence of a distinguished Colonel from the Indian Army, it stands today with timeless poise. Neo-classical in design, regal in presence, and deeply comforting in its embrace.

You’ll wake up to sweeping lawns kissed by morning mist, with the Shivalik range rising in the distance like a gentle reminder to slow down. Evenings here are something else entirely. Fiery sunsets, a pool that catches every last flicker of light, and a fireplace waiting to crackle into life beside the alfresco dining space to warm the winter nights.

The interiors are equally considered. Three elegant master bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and walk-in wardrobes. A fourth room, modest and small, serves quietly when needed. The majestic living area is generous, flowing seamlessly into a six-seater dining room that feels made for meaningful meals and memorable conversations. There’s a dedicated entertainment room too for film nights, laughter, and a little indulgence.
Upstairs, you’ll find a charming study corner, a writing desk, a reading chair, and a picturesque backdrop. The two bedrooms on this level open out to private balconies, each offering its own frame of the hills beyond.

And while the villa feels wonderfully remote, Gaurav, the ever-gracious caretaker, will treat you to delicious vegetarian breakfasts, while Zomato takes care of everything else.

Gurbaksh Villa is not merely a place to stay. It’s a place to be. To gather. To breathe. To remember. Quite simply, it’s the kind of home where time doesn’t pass. It settles.
