When it comes to us at Kasu Assets, what we’re most intrigued by, about Goa, is its topography. The tiniest state in India has a mix of hilly regions, plateaus, and lowlands, or in other words, coastal lines. This is one of the reasons why we chose Goa as the destination to build our exclusive, luxury villa projects.

But we can’t help but notice that with so much diversity in Goa’s terrain, Goa’s real estate options thus far have remained monotonous with standard offerings. Apart from the myriad of features and our approach to real estate in Goa, we endeavour to build each of our projects in harmony with the landscape on which they are located. 

Kasu Vana

Enveloped by trees that form a natural cover for our villa project in Assagao, Kasu Vana is a treat for the senses. This project consists of five 4-bedroom villas, neatly tucked away in a quiet part of Assagao – the perfect hideaway for a family on holiday or for a weary, creative soul. 

If you’ve ever been to Assagao, you’ll be struck by its beauty, largely lent by the lush foliage in the village. At Kasu Vana, we’ve let that very foliage take center stage, with the villas built according to an inward-looking plan for privacy. A stream at the end of the property, fed by a natural spring, is the cherry on the cake.

The materials, too, are sourced from the surrounding landscape, so the texture and look of the natural materials used, blend with the surroundings. For example, we’ve used laterite, a material found in abundance in Goa, as an accent in the double-height living room. Speaking of double height, one gets an immersive view at the forest outside the living room, and to give one the feeling of openness as well as to let the natural light in.

The flooring is made of Kota stone from Rajasthan and all decks are made of natural stone – we have avoided wood that can rot in the harsh monsoons that Goa experiences.

Kasu Zama

While Kasu Vana is all about nature (Vana translates to ‘forest’ in Sanskrit), Kasu Zama embodies tranquility, as the name suggests. Located in one of Goa’s busiest tourist hotspots, Anjuna, Kasu Zama is set away from the hustle and bustle. Yet, it has been designed to resemble a European village – complete with community-style living and well-guarded privacy.

Anjuna is known to get hotter than the surrounding areas, especially in summer. Hence, the material palette used is basalt stone cladding homes with clay-tiled roofs to keep the homes cool. We’ve drawn inspiration from nature and the property is armoured with basalt and other natural stone to keep the coolness in.

This 14-villa property in Anjuna is spread over two or three levels and is focussed on taking you back in time, exuding old-world charm. However, the minimalism, convenience and luxury of modern-day living has not been left behind.

Our upcoming project is also designed around the unique topographical features of the upcoming village it is located in. Known for its meandering river and natural hill formations, this project will be both visually pleasing and unique in its own right. As soon as we reveal the details of our upcoming project, we’ll share more details on how this property, too, is built in keeping with its natural surroundings.
