Assetz The Secret Lake in Devanahalli: Buyer's Guide (October 2026)

Assetz The Secret Lake is a 44-acre gated plotted development by Assetz Property in Basavanapura village, off IVC Road, Devanahalli, North Bangalore. It was launched in May 2025 under the name Codename The Hideaway. This guide covers the location, plot sizes, prices and extra costs, the RERA position, the stage of work and the checks worth running before booking.

Who the Project Suits

The layout is meant for buyers who want to own land and build their own house, rather than move into a finished apartment. It suits families planning a home on the airport side of the city, and owners prepared to hold a plot while the roads and clubhouse are completed. A plot is a two-stage spend, so the budget has to cover the land first and the house later.

The setting is the main draw. A lake of about 190 acres runs along one edge of the site, and the land around it is still largely farmland turning into planned layouts. Shops, schools and hospitals mean a drive, so the project fits those who value space and quiet over walking-distance convenience.

Location and Connectivity

The address is Basavanapura, Dyavarahalli Main Road, off IVC Road, Devanahalli Taluk, Bengaluru 562157. Equinox Global Shelters is the development partner for the land. More on the town and the villages around it is on the Devanahalli locality page.

The main roads and hubs near the layout are listed below:

• Doddaballapura Main Road: 3.2 km
• Satellite Town Ring Road (STRR) corridor: 9.4 km
• NH 44 (Bellary Road): 11 km
• Kempegowda International Airport: about 20 km
• Yelahanka New Town: about 25 minutes by car

For airport staff and frequent flyers, that makes for a workable daily drive. A commute to the south or east of the city is long, so a peak-hour test drive before booking is worth the time.

Plot Sizes and the Layout

The project spreads 701 plots across 44 acres. Open areas take up 20.43 acres, and parks and greens cover a further 4.80 acres. More than 2,000 trees are already planted, including a Miyawaki forest of about 19,000 sq ft.

Plots come in four main formats, along with irregular plots at the corners and edges:

• 30x40 ft plots of 1,200 sq ft
• 30x50 ft plots of 1,500 sq ft
• 30x60 ft and 40x60 ft plots of up to 2,400 sq ft
• Odd-shaped plots, such as one of 2,001 sq ft

A 1,200 sq ft plot takes a compact house of two or three floors. The 2,400 sq ft plots leave room for a larger home with a lawn and parking for two cars.

Prices and the Full Cost

Plot prices at Assetz The Secret Lake start from about Rs. 72 Lakhs for a 1,200 sq ft plot, which is about Rs. 6,000 per sq ft of land. The same rate carries across the other sizes, as the list shows:

• 1,500 sq ft: about Rs. 90 Lakhs
• 2,001 sq ft odd plot: about Rs. 1.20 Crore
• 2,400 sq ft: about Rs. 1.44 Crore

Lake-facing, park-facing and corner plots are likely to carry a premium, so ask for the plot-wise price. Several charges are added to the land price:

• Stamp duty and registration (in Karnataka, a property above Rs. 45 Lakhs pays stamp duty of 5% plus surcharges, and the registration fee is 2%)
• Development charges and the water and electricity connection charges
• Clubhouse membership and the maintenance deposit
• Khata transfer and legal charges

A payment schedule tied to visible work on the roads and utilities is better than one tied to calendar dates. The cost of building the house is a separate budget for later.

Infrastructure and Amenities

The internal roads are concrete, 15, 12 and 9 metres wide, lined with trees. Power, water and sewer lines run underground, sewage goes to an on-site treatment plant, and rainwater is led into recharge pits. Organic waste goes to a converter, and the common areas have generator backup.

A clubhouse of about 19,000 sq ft is planned, with a swimming pool, gym, yoga deck and multipurpose hall. The outdoor facilities in the plan are these:

• Courts for badminton, tennis, basketball, padel and pickleball
• A futsal pitch and a box cricket area
• A jogging track, an amphitheatre and a party hall
• A children's play area, a toddlers' park, a seniors' park with a reflexology path and a pets' park

Security at the gate includes CCTV, boom barriers and a manned cabin. Ask for a completion date against each facility and the expected monthly maintenance per plot.

RERA, Approvals and Stage of Work

The Karnataka RERA registration number of Assetz The Secret Lake is PRM/KA/RERA/1250/303/PR/020425/007646, and it covers the full layout. The entry on the Karnataka RERA portal shows the declared completion date, the layout and the quarterly progress filings. Ask the sales team for a copy of the commencement certificate as well.

The roads, utility lines and clubhouse are being built as of October 2026. The latest completion date for the layout is March 2030. An earlier date of January 2028 is still quoted in places, so match the date in the agreement for sale with the one on the RERA entry.

About the Developer

Assetz Property is a Bangalore developer with apartments, villas and plotted layouts across the city. In North Bangalore it has several plotted communities on the airport side, which gives buyers finished Assetz layouts to visit. A walk through one shows how the roads, drains and parks look once handed over.

Checks Before Booking

Land deals depend on the paperwork, so a few checks make the decision safer. These are the main ones:

• Match the RERA number, plot count and completion date on the Karnataka RERA portal
• Ask for the numbered, sanctioned layout and find the exact plot on it
• Get the land conversion order, the layout sanction and the release order for the plots on sale
• Have a lawyer check at least 30 years of title and the encumbrance certificate for each survey number
• Read the joint development agreement between Assetz and Equinox Global Shelters
• Walk the lake edge and see the buffer between the last plots and the shoreline
• Get a written date for handing the roads and utilities to the owners' association
