Total Environment Songs from the Wood

Total Environment Songs from the Wood has its address at 16, Bhagwan Tatyasaheb Kawade Road, Palmgrove Society, Uday Baug, in Ghorpadi, Pune 411013. Ghorpadi is an older part of the city where housing has grown up alongside institutions for decades. Daily life here runs on roads, shops and services that already exist, rather than on a promised new corridor.

The developer has not named nearby schools, hospitals, stations or offices, and has not published any distances. So plan your own trial runs. Drive from the gate to your workplace at your usual start time and back again in the evening, and time the school run too if you have children.

Inner-city sites bring their own trade-offs. Check how wide the approach road is, how easily cars turn in and out of the entrance, and how busy Kawade Road gets at peak hours. Walk the lanes nearby after dark to judge lighting and noise. Handover is not due until December 2029, so ask the developer what the entry and exit roads to the 8.1 acres will look like once all three blocks are occupied.

Total Environment Songs from the Wood publishes three plans, all in built-up area; ask for the carpet area of each, as MahaRERA requires it. The Simplex 3 BHK (L20) is about 1,445 sq ft on a single level, starting at Rs. 3.05 Crore, or about Rs. 21,100 per sq ft. The 3 BHK Duplex (D35) is about 2,511 sq ft over two floors at Rs. 5.64 Crore upward, close to Rs. 22,500 per sq ft.

The largest home, the 4 BHK Duplex (D60), measures about 4,095 sq ft and begins at Rs. 8.79 Crore, about Rs. 21,500 per sq ft. These are entry prices; the block, floor and view you choose will move them. Because the homes are under construction, expect to pay in instalments tied to building stages up to December 2029.

GST applies to the construction portion, and stamp duty and registration come on top. Ask for a cost sheet that shows:

• Base rate and the carpet and built-up area it applies to
• Floor-rise, view or corner premiums
• Parking bays included with your home
• Clubhouse fee and the maintenance deposit
• GST as a separate line
• Stamp duty and registration on the full value
• The payment schedule, stage by stage

Total Environment Songs from the Wood has no RERA registration number published by the developer. Every under-construction project in Maharashtra must be registered, so ask the developer for the number of the phase your block falls in and look it up on the MahaRERA website. Match the completion date shown there with the December 2029 date you are being promised.

At this stage you are buying a home on paper, so the documents to collect before any payment are:

• MahaRERA registration certificate for your block
• Approved building plan showing your unit and its carpet area
• Land title papers and a recent search report for the 8.1 acres
• Commencement certificate for the blocks being built
• Draft agreement for sale with the handover date and delay terms
• Stage-linked payment schedule

Have a lawyer read the title and the agreement before you sign. As the blocks rise, keep checking the quarterly progress updates on the MahaRERA entry. At handover, ask for the occupancy certificate, register the sale deed, move the property tax account into your name and join the society.

Total Environment Songs from the Wood holds three 19-floor blocks and 208 homes on 8.1 acres, a low count for a site this size. The developer has not published the share kept open, so ask for the approved master plan and see how the blocks, gardens and courts share the ground. Every image today is a render, as planned by the developer, because nothing is finished yet.

A morning could begin on the jogging track through the landscaped gardens, then a swim in one of the pools or a workout in the gymnasium. Children have their own play area and the outdoor courts for games after school. For the adults, the spa and sauna are there at the end of a hard week.

Evenings can move indoors. The clubhouse has a mini theatre and a games room for a film with neighbours, and the party area can host a birthday or a festival dinner. Retail spaces on the plan may cover small daily needs without a drive. Ask Total Environment when the clubhouse and pools will be built, since shared facilities are sometimes finished after the homes, and what the maintenance charge will be.
