Area Overview
What makes Bhugaon special
Bhugaon sits on Paud Road west of Bavdhan, past Chandani Chowk, where the city gives way to the hills toward Mulshi.
It is outside the Pune Municipal Corporation limits, under PMRDA and the local gram panchayat — civic standards, approvals and service provision differ from PMC areas, which matters when verifying any purchase.
Development is gated-project led, with hills, lake views and open country as the draw. It works as a second home or a base for someone working toward Hinjewadi rather than central Pune.

Why choose Bhugaon?

It works as a second home or a Hinjewadi-side base.
