A Managed Farmland means you own a legally registered piece of agricultural land within a larger, well-planned farmland project developed by professional developers like JD Homes.

These farmlands are commonly purchased for:

• Second home or farmhouse use
• Weekend Home / weekend living
• Long-term land investment (ROI)
• Plantation / Farming

Managing a large parcel of land requires time, supervision, and local support. Since many Clients are busy with their businesses or jobs, they are unable to manage the land on their own.

That’s where Developers like JD Homes steps in.

JD Homes develops the entire farmland project as a managed farmland gated community, provides infrastructure and amenities, ensures safety, security, and maintenance, and manages the land on your behalf when you are away — so you enjoy all the benefits of ownership without the stress of daily management.

In simple terms:
You own the land. JD Homes manages it for you.

Think of managed farmland like buying a small farm inside a big, well-planned farmland community.

For example, there is a large land parcel of around 20 acres. This land is legally divided into smaller farm plots. You may buy one plot of 10,000 sq. ft., which becomes 100% registered in your name.

Now, instead of you worrying about fencing, roads, water, plantation, or daily farm work, the developer takes care of everything.

Here’s how it works in simple terms:

• You own your individual farm plot
• The developer develops the entire layout with internal roads, amenities, water, electricity, fencing, and security
• Trees, plants, and crops are planted and maintained professionally
• Regular farm activities like watering, upkeep, and monitoring are handled by the developer
• You can visit anytime, relax, spend time with family, enjoy nature, or use it as a weekend farmhouse

So even if you live in the city and have no time or can’t visit frequently, your land is maintained and secure.

In a managed farmland project, once the development is completed, the developer takes care of everything on your behalf.

This includes:

• Maintenance of internal roads and common amenities
• Plantation and regular de-weeding of the farmland
• Avenue plantations and green landscaping
• Security of the entire layout
• Maintenance of common facilities like cafeteria and other amenities

In simple words, you buy a small piece of agricultural land inside a large, well-planned project, and the developer manages the entire place for you.

Management includes maintenance of common amenities developed in the project, de-weeding of the plots, tree pruning and basic upkeep of individual plots, 24×7 security, hospitality support during customer visits and stays, food arrangements when required, and overall project supervision.

Adequate on-site manpower is available to handle security, gardening, caretaking, cafeteria, and hospitality services.

Management of the farmland is mandatory. Every customer who is part of the project is required to pay the applicable maintenance charges, as this is a gated community project and common services must be uniformly maintained.

JD Homes will manage the project for the initial five years after sale. Thereafter, management will continue based on discussions with the association and mutual decision.

Management and maintenance charges are mandatory and payable at the time of registration, as this is a community-based project and individual non-participation is not feasible.

In a managed farmland project, the plantation type is planned by the managed farmland developer, such as JD Homes, along with experienced agronomists.

The decision is based on important factors like:

• Soil quality
• Water availability
• Climate conditions
• Long-term sustainability of the farm

At the same time, plot owners can share their personal preferences for certain trees or plants for their individual farm plots. These suggestions are considered wherever practical and suitable.

In our managed farmland projects, we provide a variety of fruit-bearing plants in each farm plot so that owners can enjoy fresh fruits grown in their own land.

The plantation is mainly planned for self-consumption and personal use.

Some of the commonly provided fruit plants include:

• Mango
• Guava
• Sapota (Chikoo)
• Jackfruit
• Coconut
• Water Apple
• Ramphal
• Sitaphal (Custard Apple)
• Lemon
• Mosambi (Sweet Lime)
• Fig
• Teak and Mahogany on the border of the individual unit
• Silver Oak on roadside

These plants allow owners to experience real farm living, harvest their own fruits, and enjoy a healthy, natural lifestyle.

In each individual farm plot, we usually do fruit-bearing plantations inside the plot so that customers can enjoy fresh fruits for personal use.

On the border of the plot, we plant teak or mahogany trees. These trees act as natural bio-fencing in the future, give a lush green boundary, and also help in long-term value and yield.

The number of plants depends on the plot size.

For a typical plot of around 7,000 sq. ft., we usually plant:

• 15–20 fruit-bearing plants inside the plot
• 15–20 teak, mahogany, or silver oak trees along the plot boundaries
• A few flowering plants for greenery and aesthetics

Yes, you are free to sell the fruits grown on your individual farm plot if you wish.

JD Homes does not sell fruits or provide home delivery of fruits, as the project is designed mainly for lifestyle living and personal use.

However, since the farm plot is fully owned by you, any fruits grown on your plot belong entirely to you, and you may sell them on your own if you choose to.

We may not be able to comment on the exact income from selling fruits.

This is because JD Homes does not sell fruits, and we have not tried or managed fruit sales ourselves.

The income from fruits depends on many factors such as:

• Type of fruit trees
• Yield and season
• Market demand and selling price
• How and where the fruits are sold

Since these factors vary, income from fruit sales cannot be guaranteed or predicted.

No, JD Homes will not be able to support or assist in selling fruits or farm produce.

Selling farm produce has to be managed individually by the farm plot owner, if they choose to do so.

JD Homes’ role is limited to developing and maintaining the farmland project, not marketing or selling agricultural produce.

Projects by JD Homes are mainly designed for lifestyle use and long-term land value growth, not as a short-term income-generating farming business.

Farming income is not guaranteed as part of the project.

However, if an owner chooses to do farming on their own on their individual plot, they are free to do so. In such cases, any income earned from farming will fully belong to the plot owner.

Yes. JD Homes encourages and practices natural farming methods wherever feasible, with a strong focus on minimizing the use of chemicals and harmful fertilizers as much as possible.

Yes, you can do plantation and gardening in your individual plot.

Support will be provided by the on-site agronomist, if required.

Please note that additional charges may apply, and the same will be discussed and communicated in advance based on your requirements.

We have a dedicated team for plantation, and most of the plants are procured from Kadiyem (Rajahmundry) in Andhra Pradesh, which is well known for quality nurseries.

We typically plant well-grown plants that are around 2 to 3 years old and approximately 7 to 8 feet in height.

Since we plant 2–3 year old plants, you can usually expect fruiting and harvest within another 1–2 years, depending on the plant type and care.

Teak and mahogany are long-term plantation trees. They are generally ready for harvest in about 15–20 years, depending on growth conditions.

A fully grown teak or mahogany tree, usually harvested after 15 to 25+ years, can have good value.

In general market conditions, a single mature tree may be valued anywhere between ₹60,000 to ₹1,00,000 or more, depending on factors like tree size, quality, age, and market demand.

This is only an indicative range, and actual value may vary at the time of harvest.

Yes, you can build your own farmhouse on your farm plot.

As per the Karnataka Land Revenue Act, you can build a farmhouse up to 10% of your total landholding.

You can use up to 10% of your total farm plot area for constructing your farmhouse, as per the applicable guidelines.

For example:

If you own 10,000 sq. ft. of farmland, you can build a farmhouse of up to 1,000 sq. ft. on that plot and up to G+1.

No, you do not need to take any separate approvals for constructing a farmhouse on your farm plot.

You are free to build your farmhouse within the permitted construction limits and guidelines applicable to the project.

Yes, you can build either a temporary structure or a permanent structure on your farm plot.

The only condition is that the total construction area should not exceed 10% of your total land area.

Managed farmlands by JD Homes are mainly designed as a lifestyle investment and a long-term asset.

However, Clients are encouraged to build a farmhouse or cottages on their plots. Once built, these can be rented out to guests for weekend stays, holidays, or retreats.

Typically, cottages and farmhouses in such locations are rented at around ₹2,500 per person (including food) and still enjoy good occupancy, especially on weekends and holidays.

While rental income is not guaranteed, many owners are able to generate additional income by renting out their farmhouses.

Yes. If you align your cottage with JD Homes, and the 2 BHK house is constructed as per JD Homes’ specifications, then JD Homes will provide a fixed rental of ₹25,000 per month (for the Sound of Silence Project) and ₹15,000 for 1 BHK.

The cost of constructing a farmhouse varies depending on the design, materials, and specifications you choose.

However, for a standard farmhouse construction, the average cost is around ₹1,800 per sq. ft.

Please note that this is an approximate estimate, and the final cost may be higher or lower based on finishes, interiors, and customization.
