5 bedrooms, mountain views and a cricket room: Inside Ajinkya Rahane’s Igatpuri retreat

Indian cricketer Ajinkya Rahane and his wife Radhika Dhopavkar have opened their private family retreat, Raaya Estate, in Igatpuri, Maharashtra. The five-bedroom villa offers breathtaking views of the Sahyadri mountains and Vaitarna Lake. Built after the Covid-19 pandemic, the property features an infinity pool, sprawling gardens, balconies, and a dedicated cricket room filled with Ajinkya's memorabilia.

The villa's interiors follow a neutral and earthy color palette, with a focus on natural shades to highlight the surrounding landscape. Each bedroom opens onto a spacious balcony, providing uninterrupted views of the mountains and lake. The central entryway is marked by double muted-blue doors with lion-head knockers, leading to the main living area.

The main living room is divided into two sections: one for morning tea or coffee, offering views of the lake and mountains, and another for a more relaxed sitting area. The villa also includes an in-house bar and a dedicated children's play area.
