The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL) has entered Himachal Pradesh’s premium second-home market with The Ridge, an ultra-luxury villa development in Mashobra, about 10 km from Shimla. Prices for the limited collection of three- and four-bedroom villas begin at ₹9.5 crore, as per a Hindustan Times report.
Spread across 11.5 acres at roughly 7,000 feet above sea level, the Ridge overlooks the Gharshi Valley and is surrounded by 950 hectares of deodar forests, according to the developer. The project offers a limited inventory of 3 BHK and 4 BHK villas, positioning itself for high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth buyers seeking a private mountain residence.
HoABL has pitched the development as more than a conventional holiday home. The company says it is designed around longevity, wellness, nature and hospitality, with an emphasis on family time and long-term ownership.
Wellness and services
The project will include a clubhouse of more than 25,000 sq ft, featuring a heated indoor pool, fitness centre, restaurant, fireside lounge, viewing deck, indoor sports facilities and wellness spaces. Outdoor amenities are expected to include orchards, walking trails and areas for yoga and meditation.
HoABL has partnered with Evavo Wellness to offer recovery-focused experiences such as cryotherapy, red-light therapy and hyperbaric oxygen treatments. Hospitality services, including villa management, private dining and curated Himalayan experiences, will be managed by Everly Hotels & Resorts.
However, the developer has not disclosed whether wellness treatments will be included in the purchase price or billed separately. Details of recurring maintenance, hospitality and villa-management charges have also not been shared.

What the company said
Abhinandan Lodha, Chairman of HoABL, said the project is intended for buyers who have built wealth and are now prioritising the quality of their lives.
“At The House of Abhinandan Lodha, our philosophy across projects has been to create elevated experiences for our customers. For those who have spent years building businesses and creating wealth, the next priority is often how they choose to live.”
He described The Ridge as a mountain residence that combines high living standards with a connection to nature, offering families a space to reconnect and “create a legacy to be cherished across generations.”
Building in the Himalayas
The developer said the project’s planning has been led by IIT Roorkee and includes micropile foundations and advanced computational modelling to address the site’s terrain, contours and geology. These measures are intended to support construction in the Himalayan landscape.
Mashobra’s forest cover, relative seclusion and proximity to Shimla are central to the project’s appeal, offering buyers access to the hill town while remaining away from its busier areas.
