More than anything, It is a place that you chance upon, and the more you explore it, the more forgotten pleasures you discover. A barefoot morning walk on fresh dew, an impromptu picnic, afternoon naps under a tree, reading a book undisturbed but for buzzing bee, fishing, trekking, doing nothing… are all part of the unforgettable stay here. This fully custom, elegant modern ranch-style home is located within walking distance of Kullu's Mountain Shadows. Designer choices in this stunning home set it apart from every other house in the neighborhood. The main level boasts 10-foot ceilings with exotic Brazilian cherry hardwood flooring throughout, along with six sparkling chandeliers. You'll find a large quartz waterfall island in the heart of the home, which acts as a beautiful centerpiece. A stacked-quartz remote-controlled fireplace serves as artwork in the living room, set off by a wall of tall windows for plenty of natural light. The home has ceiling-mounted speakers in nearly every room, along with an amplifier that controls them all. Located on the banks of River Beas, close to Kullu-Manali, Himachal Pradesh, this beautiful bunch of cottages and villas, is both the quintessential ‘little house by the river and that ‘secret place’. Surrounded by fruit trees, numerous natural alcoves, and breathtaking scenic views of the Himalayas and the river, it seems to arise naturally from the ground - an impression strengthened largely because it has been built without disturbing the gently undulating contours of the lush green land. Here, the silence is broken only by the chirping of the birds, the rustle of leaves, and the gurgle of flowing water. Even thoughts sound unnaturally loud at Neeralaya.
