green and expansive space. Most of them have swimming pool with filtration
plants and changing rooms. They also have tennis court, servant quarters,
telephone, and other such facilities.

Costs of Farmhouses
- Farmhouses are located at the outskirts of cities and are spread in
acres of land. They include spacious plots in the front of house or at
nearby locations excluding the building. Some of them include swimming
pools and tennis courts or other sports courts. Though the value of
lands at the outskirts are low but due to large coverage areas their
costs are pretty much higher.
- The cost of a farmhouse also depends on its location. The cost of
land at the outskirts of bigger cities, like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore,
etc are higher than those one at the same locations in smaller cities.
- A farmhouse at a natural location costs more than one situated at
normal locations. Farmhouses near to a sea-beach or near a river coast
will definitely cost much more than an ordinary one. The farmhouses at
hilly and mounted areas also cost more.
