Krishna Stoneview

Krishna Stoneview lies in the Devanahalli area of north Bengaluru, on the side that runs towards Nandi Hills. The developer mentions Stone Hill International School close by, which matters if you plan to build a family home here. Kempegowda International Airport can be reached by road, and no drive times or distances are published, so we do not quote any.

Think about how a normal week would run from here. This part of the city has grown fast, with new homes and offices arriving, and the developer notes schools, hospitals, banks and malls in the wider region. The key word is wider. Some errands may mean a drive rather than a walk, so check what is actually within a short trip.

If you work in central or south Bengaluru, time the commute before you buy, both ways and at peak hour. If your office is nearer the airport, the location works in your favour. Visit on a weekday to see how busy the approach road gets, and after rain to see how the lanes around the layout hold up. Ask the developer which roads outside the gate are public and who maintains them.

Krishna Stoneview sells land, not houses, so there are no floor plans to compare. You buy a plot and design your own home on it, within the rules on setbacks and floors that apply to the layout. The developer has not published the plot sizes or how many plots there are, so the choice will depend on the list they share with you.

The price is on request, which means there is no entry figure or per-sq-ft rate to quote here. When you do get a rate, make sure it is per sq ft of plot area and that it covers the same things across plots. GST is not charged on the sale of a developed plot as such, but stamp duty and registration are payable on every purchase. Building your house later is a separate cost.

Ask for a cost sheet that shows:

• Rate per sq ft and the exact plot area
• Premium for corner, park-facing or wide-road plots
• Development and infrastructure charges
• Water, power and sewer connection costs
• Maintenance deposit, if any
• Stamp duty and registration on the full value

Krishna Stoneview has no RERA number published yet. Ask Krishna Homes for it and look it up on the Karnataka RERA website (rera.karnataka.gov.in), where a registered layout shows its approvals and promoter details. The approval is listed as BBMP/BDA; for a layout in the Devanahalli area, confirm which authority actually approved it and ask to see that sanction.

Plot purchases rest on land papers, so ask for all of these before any booking amount:

• The land conversion order from agricultural to residential use
• The approved layout plan from the planning authority
• The release order covering the plot you want
• Title deeds and an encumbrance certificate for the land
• The khata for the individual plot

Have a property lawyer check that the survey numbers on these papers match the layout. On completion you register a sale deed for the plot, then move the khata into your name. When you later build, you will need your own building plan sanction before work begins.

Krishna Stoneview covers 20 acres of plotted land. The developer shares the master plan on request, and it is the most useful document you can study before a visit. Any images you are shown are as planned by the developer, so check each drawn road and park against what exists on the site.

No amenity list has been published, and that shapes how daily life here would look. Assume that your own house and garden will be the centre of the day, rather than a clubhouse or pool. Ask whether any parks or open areas are set aside in the plan, and whether a children's play space is included. Ask too who owns and looks after these spaces once the plots are sold.

Where your plot falls in the plan will shape the years after you build. A plot on a wide internal road is easier to reach and build on. A corner plot gets more light but less privacy, and a plot near the entry sees more traffic. Before you book, stand on the plot itself, check the boundary stones, and ask for the latest availability marked on the plan.
