The villa has a built-up area of 15,500 square feet and the construction is Vaastu-compliant. The property is close to the Montgomerie Golf Club and its championship course. The property comes with a theatre, two lounges, a large pool and has basement parking for six cars.
Riyaz Merchant, the CEO of Realty Force, the brokerage which clinched the deal, said: "There is still an opportunity for the right deal at the right price in the right location."
He added: "The correct opportunity offers several benefits that include value appreciation, equity build up and rental income. I believe in the saying that don't wait for buy real estate, buy real estate and wait."
