The Movement
The agrihood movement.
An Indian pioneer.
Thousands of families across four continents have already chosen to live on working farms. Over 200 agrihood communities exist globally — from Atlanta to Arizona to Malaysia. India has zero in its tier-2 cities. Vanpras is changing that.
The Global Trend
The world is already moving
to the farm
You are 58, living in Delhi. The AQI hit 400 again last week. Your knees ache. Your children are in Bangalore and Toronto. You are tired of the noise, the pollution, the feeling that your city is not built for you anymore. Somewhere, a quiet voice asks: is this all there is? The world has an answer. The Urban Land Institute identified farm-centered communities as the #1 emerging residential trend. Hundreds of families are already living it.
Serenbe
Atlanta, Georgia, USA
Award-winning biophilic community. 70% preserved green space. Organic farm, artist residencies, Michelin-recommended restaurants. Featured in NYT, CNN, and Architectural Digest.
Agritopia
Gilbert, Arizona, USA
Pioneer of the American agrihood movement. 11-acre organic farm at its center. Farm-to-table restaurants, community gardens, and a CSA program that feeds 200+ families weekly.
Harvest by Hillwood
Northlake, Texas, USA
Proves agrihoods work at scale and at accessible price points. Working farm, community gardens, and extensive trail system. One of the fastest-selling master-planned communities in DFW.
Miralon
Palm Springs, California, USA
Built on a former 200-acre date palm farm. Preserved 1,300 date palms. Luxury wellness community with olive groves, citrus orchards, and a harvest-to-table culinary program.
HomeFarm
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
The only Asian agrihood with tech integration. Combines senior living with vertical farming. Proves the concept works in Asia's demographics. But it's urban, small, and expensive.
Vanpras
Ranchi & Lucknow, India
Everything the global agrihoods proved works, plus an AI layer nobody else has. In the world's largest untapped market. At a price point that tier-2 India can afford.
The India Gap
140 million people.
Zero options.
India's entire managed farmland industry is a south India phenomenon. Bangalore alone has 10+ players competing for the same audience. North India, the Hindi belt, and every tier-2 city? Absolutely nothing.
Organized farm retirement by region
Larger than the entire population of Japan. Growing by 5M annually. Most underserved demographic in Indian real estate.
Year-over-year growth. The market is expected to reach $12 billion by 2030. Yet almost all offerings are urban apartments rebranded as "senior living."
& Tamil Nadu
The entire managed farmland industry is concentrated in two southern states. Every player competes for the same Bangalore techie. The rest of India? Untouched.
Ranchi, Lucknow, Indore, Dehradun, Bhopal, Patna, Jaipur — not a single organized farm retirement community. This is the gap. This is Vanpras.
Why Now
Five years ago, this was impossible.
Five years from now, it will cost twice as much.
Tier-2 cities are the next growth centers
Ranchi, Lucknow, Indore, and Dehradun are experiencing the same growth trajectory that Bangalore and Hyderabad saw 15 years ago. Infrastructure investment is pouring in. GDP growth in tier-2 cities is outpacing metros by 2-3% annually.
Expressway connectivity is transforming access
The Purvanchal Expressway, Bundelkhand Expressway, and planned Ranchi-Patna Expressway are cutting travel times by 50-60%. What was "remote" five years ago is now 90 minutes from an airport.
Airport upgrades opening new corridors
Ranchi's Birsa Munda Airport now has direct flights to Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Kolkata. Lucknow's Chaudhary Charan Singh Airport handles 5M+ passengers annually. These cities are connected.
Remote work made location independence real
The pandemic permanently changed where people live. 35% of India's knowledge workers now work remotely at least part-time. The question is no longer "Can I work from here?" — it's "Why would I live in a polluted metro when I don't have to?"
Land prices are still accessible
In tier-2 India, ₹50 Lakhs buys you a farm with a farmhouse. In Mumbai, it buys you a parking spot. In Bangalore, a managed farmland plot (no house, no AI, no community). The price-to-value equation in tier-2 is unmatched — but it won't last. Early movers in every Indian growth corridor have seen 5-10x appreciation.
The math is simple
Mumbai 2BHK
₹2-3 Crore
Bangalore Farmland
₹80L-1.5Cr (plot only)
Gurgaon Senior Living
₹1-2 Crore
Vanpras (Tier-2)
₹50L (farm + house + AI)
The Pioneer
We didn't invent this.
We're perfecting it for India.
Serenbe proved people will pay millions to live on a farm. Agritopia proved you can build community around agriculture. Harvest proved it scales. HomeFarm proved it works in Asia. The concept is validated across continents, climates, cultures, and price points.
What nobody has done is bring this to India's tier-2 cities — where land is affordable, air is clean, and 140 million people over 50 have no organized retirement option that doesn't look like a hospital or a gated apartment complex.
And nobody else has added AI. No agrihood in the world has an integrated health monitoring layer, an AI-driven farm management system, and a family dashboard — our AI-powered approach through Vanpras OS is unique. Nobody else has it.
What Vanpras adds to the global playbook
The infrastructure is arriving. The expressways are being built. The airports are expanding. The players have not shown up yet. That window does not stay open forever.
200 agrihoods proved the model globally. 140 million Indians need the product. AI is what makes Vanpras different from all of them. Tier-2 is where the land is still affordable.
Common Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is an agrihood? +
An agrihood is a residential community built around a working farm rather than a golf course or clubhouse. Residents live on or adjacent to productive agricultural land, sharing organic food, green spaces, and a farm-centered lifestyle. Over 200 agrihoods exist globally, from the United States to Malaysia.
Are there agrihoods in India? +
Vanpras is India's first agrihood designed for tier-2 cities. While managed farmland projects exist around Bangalore and Hyderabad, none combine farm living, AI wellness monitoring, and retirement community design. North India and tier-2 cities have zero organized farm retirement options — Vanpras is changing that, starting with Ranchi and Lucknow.
How much does a Vanpras plot cost? +
Vanpras plots start at ₹50 Lakhs for freehold ownership of farmland with irrigation infrastructure, AI sensor setup, and community access. This includes your own productive land, not a leasehold or timeshare. Higher tiers with larger plots and premium features are available up to ₹1 Crore.

Five years from now, this land costs twice as much and someone else lives on it. Phase 1 plots are limited. Walk the land, meet the team, and decide while you still have first-mover pricing.
