Villas in Goa: Categories, Valuation, and Pricing Summary

At Living Luxury Real Estate, we categorize villas in Goa into three classifications: ultra luxury villas and estates; independent villas, and common wall villas.


Deep Dive: Ultra Luxury Villas in Goa & Private Estates in Goa

Every real estate developer, agent, and private family has their own definition of what constitutes an 'ultra luxury' residence. Some professionals use the term 'estate,' while others prefer 'mansion.'

At Living Luxury Real Estate, we categorise an ultra luxury villa as a private home with the following attributes:

  1. A plot size of more than 1500 Sq M
  2. A constructed area of more than 7,000 Sq Ft
  3. At least 4 bedrooms
  4. A private pool
  5. A private gate and access path
  6. Private parking
  7. An unobstructed view of a beautiful natural asset, such as a field, forest, river, or ocean.

Importantly, ultra luxury villas are excellent stores of wealth that can be prudent hedges against volatility in the financial markets. These properties possess certain immutable characteristics that make their value non-negotiable.

Within the spectrum of ultra luxury villas in Goa, there are a variety of architectural styles, from modern to traditional. We encourage our clients to consider both the objective value of the property (such as its size, views, and location), with its subjective value (design aesthetic).

Independent villas, also known as 'detached' villas, are single-family homes that are not attached to any other buildings. What we call 'independent villas' stand alone on their own plot of land, with their own private gardens, driveways, and parking areas, and often their own swimming pools. Independent villas can be found both individually (having been constructed by private families for their own use, or professional real estate developers) or within gated communities, with both private and shared amenities.

A detached villa typically offers more privacy and space than other types of homes such as townhouses or apartments. They often have larger living areas and bedrooms, and often include amenities such as a garage, a pool or other luxury features. They are also often located near naturally beautiful or socially valuable attractions, such as a beach, or thriving restaurants.

We categorise an independent villa as a private home with the following attributes:

  1. A plot size of more than 400 Sq M
  2. A constructed area of more than 3,000 Sq Ft
  3. At least 3 bedrooms
  4. A private pool
  5. A private gate and access path
  6. Private parking

Independent Villa Pricing

The prices of independent villas in North and South Goa vary based on the age of the property, the brand recognition of the architect or developer, and the village in which the home is located.

Land Value Prices of independent villas in Goa range from ₹65,000 to ₹2,07,000 per Sq M on the Total Plot Size

Building (Constructed Area) Cost Prices of independent villas in Goa range from ₹10,500 to ₹19,500 per Square Foot on the Constructed (or Built-up) Areas.

Due to the relatively smaller plot sizes, the land on which independent villas are constructed become expensive when benchmarked against ultra luxury villas – though the homes themselves are comparatively inexpensive. Still, the intrinsic benefit of not having a neighbour above, below, or immediately next to a residence is still a feature that most clients continue to value.

What we refer to as 'common wall villas' are also known as 'row villas,' 'row houses,' or 'semi-detached' villas in other parts of the world. These residential properties that are attached to one or more other homes on one or both sides. Common wall villas share walls with adjacent properties, but each unit has its own separate entrance and private outdoor space.

Semi-detached villas are typically smaller than detached villas, but they still offer more space and privacy than apartments or townhouses. They are often designed to be similar to detached houses, with similar architectural styles and high-end finishes. They usually have a yard, garden or a small private terrace, and often a private pool.

Semi-detached villas are a popular choice for families and those who want more space than an apartment but don't want the maintenance and cost of a detached house. They are also a popular choice for those who want to live in a more suburban or rural setting, but still want to be close to medical and infrastructure facilities.

We categorise a common wall villa as a private home with the following attributes:

  1. A plot size of more than 150 Sq M
  2. A constructed area of more than 2,400 Sq Ft
  3. At least 3 bedrooms
  4. A private gate and access path
  5. Private parking

As with independent villas, the prices of common wall villas in North and South Goa vary based on how well a property has aged, the reputation of the designer or builder, and the lifestyle offered by the village in which the home is located.

Land Value Semi-detached villas prices range from ₹65,000 to ₹1,90,000 per Sq M on the Total Plot Size

Building (Constructed Area) Cost Semi-detached villas prices range from ₹10,000 to ₹16,000 per Square Foot on the Constructed (or Built-up) Areas. They are typically located within gated communities that offer the benefits of shared security, maintenance, power backup, and a common pool or gym.
