Captain’s Innings by the River

<ul><li>Once the private riverside refuge of the son of legendary Indian cricketer, this home carries quiet pride in its past and deep calm in its present like a seasoned captain who has stepped off the field but still commands respect.</li><li>Set along the <strong>banks of the Pej River</strong>, the home feels wrapped in <strong>water, wind, and open sky</strong>. You don’t just see the river here you live beside it, as if spending time on a timeless home ground. Wide windows let nature play through the rooms, while a sweeping green outfield leads straight to the river’s edge, where shoes come off, pads come off, and time slows down. Inside, the palette of<strong> grey, white, and turquoise </strong>mirrors the colours of the landscape. The layout is easy to move around, making the home<strong> comfortable for elderly guests</strong> while offering open, <strong>safe spaces for children</strong> to run between innings of play.</li><li>Out on the wide riverside lawn, cricket comes alive in its most honest form. With the Pej River glinting beside you and open skies overhead, even a casual game feels like a tribute to the legends who once walked these grounds. A soft tennis ball arcs against the breeze, children take guard near the water, and adults rediscover their cover drives on grass that feels like a private practice pitch. There is something unmistakably special about batting here as if the spirit of the game still lingers in the air. You don’t need a stadium or floodlights; just a bat, a ball, and a field that once belonged to a cricketer’s family. Every boundary feels earned, every wicket celebrated, and every over played carries a quiet reminder: this is not just a lawn, this is a home ground.</li><li><strong>Meals here</strong> become memories of their own. The kitchen plays a <strong>classic Maharashtrian line</strong> and length simple, soulful dishes that taste even better when shared. <strong>Seasonal ingredients</strong> from the surrounding land make their way onto the plate, turning everyday lunches into slow, satisfying sessions and dinners into long, laughter-filled partnerships.</li><li>When people come together here, rituals form naturally meals stretch into conversations, and laughter circles around a <strong>glowing barbecue </strong>like a friendly pavilion gathering after stumps. It is a home that lends itself beautifully to <strong>birthdays, anniversaries, and intimate milestones</strong>, where every celebration feels less like an event and more like a personal victory.</li><li>Designed for <strong>small families and close friends</strong>, this is a home where <strong>grandparents can settle in comfortably, children can explore safely, and adults rediscover the rare luxury of unhurried time</strong> between overs.</li><li>It isn’t just a stay by the river. It is a quiet inheritance of peace with stories in the walls, flavour on the plate, and nature all around a place where every guest is invited to play their own gentle innings.</li></ul>
