Goyal tells that you require at least Rs 20 crore to Rs 100 crore to buy a farmhouse spread across an area of 1 acre to 2.5 acres with a built-up area of 5000 sq ft and above. He also tells listeners that besides conventional farmhouses, there are developers who also sell built-to-suit farmhouses.
His advice to homebuyers is that a greater degree of due diligence is required when it comes to purchasing a farmhouse than a house in the city. He also tells listeners that banks do not fund farmhouses and maintenance costs are huge.
