Kunenama, Lonavala

Kunenama, recorded as Kune N.M. in the census and sometimes written Kune Nane, is a village in Maval taluka of Pune district, on the hills between Khandala and Lonavala. The Mumbai-Pune Expressway and the old Mumbai-Pune highway pass close by as they climb the Bor Ghat, and Lonavala town is the nearest centre for shops, schools and clinics. The village had 1,954 residents in 430 households in the 2011 census and covers about 944 hectares, much of it wooded slopes. It is governed by a gram panchayat rather than a municipal council.

Life here follows the hill-station calendar. The monsoon brings very heavy rain, fog and streams of weekend visitors to waterfalls such as Kune Falls, while the winter months are dry and pleasant. Housing is mostly bungalows, farmhouses and gated villa communities bought as second homes by families from Mumbai and Pune, with a smaller group of full-time residents and retirees. Everyday needs mean a drive into Lonavala, and larger hospitals are in Pune or Navi Mumbai. Buyers should look closely at road access during the rains, water supply, maintenance arrangements for weekend homes and land title, since hill plots in gram panchayat areas can carry more paperwork than city flats.

IndiProp lists 1 project in Kunenama: Amoda Reserve South Park by Kalpataru, a low-rise community of 3, 4 and 5 BHK villas on about 23 acres of hillside, with 114 villas according to the developer. It is listed from about ₹2.88 crore. IndiProp has no possession date for the project, so check construction stage, handover timelines and the MahaRERA registration with the developer before booking. The project suits buyers who want a managed holiday home near Mumbai and Pune rather than a standalone bungalow.
